Eclectic acoustic musician seeks electronic musician

Portland OR

Description

I'm an acoustic musician with my main instruments these days primarily being didgeridoo, big gongs, singing bowls and Native American flute. I also have a tuba, euphonium, trumpet, melodica, monochord, handpan and a handful of smaller instruments. For most of the last 20 years I've been musically focused in the sound healing realm but had an outlet of a weekly improv jam with talented musicians. We had been gathering for over 5 years but Covid shut that down hard and this group never managed to start up again. I've been looking for a while to collaborate with an electronic musician who wants to create something along the lines of electro-acoustic world fusion/ecstatic dance/trance type music... or something completely different? I have Ableton and do some live recording of my music, and I've got a Launchkey 49 that I got in hopes that I'd delve into it myself, but when I find myself wanting to play music it's a lot easier to just sit down in front of my 40" gong and pick up a mallet and loose myself in that scrumptious resonance. If you aren't specifically looking to collaborate but are well versed in Live and could help me get up and running with live looping with the Launchkey and introducing me to the world of midi I could compensate you for your time.
