WHAT IS FRAME DRUM?
It is a hoop-shaped instrument with a width greater than its depth. It has a simple structure with strong musical potential. We find it in many parts of the world, many traditions and cultures. From Asia throughout north of Russia, Europe, mediterranean region, Africa until native American. From shamanic trances, rituals and folklore to classic music and modern jazz, from sound-therapy to dance.
WHAT IS RHYTHM?
The rhythm is the essence of our nature. He exists in our bodies, hearts, breathing. It exist in vibrations of atoms in the seasons cycles, ticking clock, earth orbit . There is no part of creation, which did not contain the rhythm. The drumming can become a very personal journey … When you find a balance and sense of security in relation with yourself. Through the connection with inner rhythm We open Transition To Unknown inner space.
