Sound Bath Sessions 146: Dawn Phua

Dawn and I climbed a hill to get away from the passersby along the lake but also discovered a gorgeous vista of the MacRitchie reservoir. The reservoir was shimmering in the afternoon sun as a crew team were doing their final laps of the day. Our location had a wonderful sense of space. On the edge of a forest with tall tree canopy that hid a few small birds. The constant buzzing of the bugs and the swashing of a distant highway can be heard in the tracks. Calm in its present state.

The last session was unforgettable. After playing a short passage on her bowls, she played a song on a native american flute. Her breaths lending a humanness that wonderfully contrasted with the precision of her other instruments.
