16:32:17 From Natalie Toney to Everyone:
When I around two,crawled up to an old sears magnus organ at my grandma’s, and looked at the colors in a Mickey Mouse song book then started to try to play.It became almost compulsive at that point to create streams of sound that correlated with the colors in my mind’s eye through any instrument I touched.Dancing to those colors, and then painting them back into music both visually and sonically, and eventually layering it all with my internal dialogue.

The fluidity,and buoyancy of circles.

Unexpected dynamic character…like a blue jay’s multitude of calls.From the quietest coo to the shrillest shriek.

GUIDED MEDITATION

Below is just the Guided Meditation Session excerpted from the full Jan 14, 2024 webinar.

You can close your eyes to listen to it, or, if you have an instrument, you can play along with the notes of the C major scale (all the white keys of the piano), or a harp tuned to “C Major” or the notes: C D E F G A B — or if singing, just let yourself sing as you wish, or hum.

If you’re playing along, stick to single notes in the upper register and just listen to them and feel how they fit. If you hit a note you don’t like, just sit with it for a moment and then glide smoothly to a different one not far away.
