MEDITACION MAYA - “LA TARDE ROJA” 7/27/24
Ancestral sounds played on a Bass Gourd Ocarina (top left window); Red Gourd Ocarina and a small Mayan Gourd Trumpet.  in the lower two windows are creations of mine more of a nod to the fact that the Aztecs were documented as having had Copper Gongs. It’s unknown if the Mayans had them, but most likely after all those hundreds of years of being next to each other. I painted my gongs with Mayan glyphs, depicting sacred images of moon, earth and sun. They are painted with traditional paints that I make. I made all the instruments in this video. I hope you like it. It’s not meant to show technical ability. It’s meant to be a meditation and Sound is the main focus here how does one sound relate to the next? My music is meant for the duality within us, not just healing, but being proactive but making ourselves strong and taking care of ourselves before we need to be healed.

BAMBOO BIRD WHISTLES & How to Play Them!!!
zhlédnutí 296Před 4 měsíci
I make a lot of beautiful instruments out of Bamboo and Gourd. I make things out of clay, but I don’t have a studio yet anyway, my inspiration comes from ancient Mexico, so I copy instruments that were originally made of clay and such. I use cured bamboo and all that stuff I take care of my materials and I make find the craft instruments the same way like the ones I make for my concert instrume...

STRANGE BEAUTY
zhlédnutí 97Před rokem
This piece is inspired by two of my favorite composers Vangelis, who you might know from doing “Blade Runner” and Dominic Frontiere, who did the beautiful music for the first season of the Outer Limits back in the 60’s. The story behind this is that the ancient Mexican clay masks hold such a beautifully, eerie and far away, dreamy look that you wonder who this will wear why do they look that wa...

Sometimes I forget I need to be consistent with my music to really get the healing benefits.... Start playing for a while, then I stop! Silly, silly me! 😖 I will take a good look at your channel again and find inspiration🌈🎶

    • @martinespinomusic
      @martinespinomusic Před 2 měsíci

      Well, you can get one and if anything it’s a nice art piece. You don’t have to play songs on these things either I mean what I’m saying is you can play a song which is an organized little structure of notes with the rhythm that you might repeat or change up But what I’m talking about is whether you know how to play or not you can always exhale into these instruments and have your exhalation of your breath be a musical tone and meditation and relaxing and also the deep breathing and letting the air out going slowly, is also affecting the parasympathetic part of your brain which again is in meditation, and is the little thing that causes you to relax and let stress, so the instant is another way to relax and help yourself feel good and you have five different tones. You can mess with you and then play at all for a minute then play tone And then wait two minutes and come back and play three tones. It just becomes very musical and very cosmic so letting you know that you can play that way too. It’s one of the way I play when I’m playing like over drum patterns and I’m playing out of time no pulse just blowing when I want and it becomes very ethereal, I called these extended techniques

      Well I play and I research what I play when I make is the same thing as my concert instruments so I don’t screw around and I don’t make them out of wood wood as a pan in the butt. Bamboo is already hollow and so is Gourd I make them out of clay too. I don’t have a studio right now but the bamboo ones sound just as good if not better than the ones made out of clay And they last forever just take care of them. I have base ones that are actually not so basic they’re just a little lower like in the lower how I said like in sort of upper medium base range let me know visit Etsy.com/shop/ancestralsound

    I’ve been around for many years enough to have many experiences, some of the far end of sad and some on the far end of happiness. And…. all I’ve ever wanted was a good friendship and someone to understand my most wackiest, thoughts and feelings and not everybody can do it. It’s too hard I guess, but some can’t take my craziest of thoughts. All I want to do is be understood and many times, music is the only way of speaking, the only language. There, in that realm of sound, I can say all these things.😊 and nobody knows what I’m saying. In music, I find a relief from difficult part of friendships/relationships. And yes, of course I have other feelings and elations from playing music but I’m not talking about those right now, but those things do help when you don’t feel good. On the other end of reality, it is hard to find a brave and strong companion.
