Crystal Bowl and Planet Gong Concert with David Hickey Date: Sat 10/30/2010 at 8PM

Crystal Bowl and Planet Gong Concert
with David Hickey
Saturday, October 30, 2010
8:00 PM - 10:00 PM


Join David Hickey for an incredible evening. Crystal Journey, an improvised sound journey with Paiste Planetary Gongs, Crystal Bowls, Santoor and Vibraphone.
Two sets of incredible music that allows the listener to be fully immersed with their spirit.

A few words from David:
Based in Mount Hope, Ontario, I perform with Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls, 15-20 of them. Each produces a pure note or tone, the purest there is. You have to hear them to believe it. I play them in combination with a Vibraphone, Santoor and 8-18 Paiste Planet, Symphonic and Sound Creation Gongs. Every gong features a strong fundamental note tuned to represent a natural harmonic series based on the orbital properties of the Sun, the Earth, the Moon and the other planets. It's like having a full orchestra.

I have been touring Canada coast to coast for the past seven years and have performed over 700 shows, having released 7 CDs to date. I have played the Bowls and Gongs accompanied by various musicians as well as with the Winnipeg Chamber Orchestra in June of 2006.

Crystal Journey has dedicated its intention for the music to help raise awareness to our environment and such social causes as Tibet and Burma, raising funds for these and various other charities. Crystal Journey also works with cancer support groups such as Well Spring Calgary. As 2010 unfolds, I am looking forward to taking my music to ever increasing numbers creating conscious awareness across Canada and the Globe with a message of peace. By year's end, Crystal Journey will have performed over 150 concerts.

The intent of the performance is to create soothing, meditative and healing music. Each one of my performances is completely improvised, and unique. The music attracts a full range of listeners. My concerts are in two sets, each lasting an hour in length.

My musical inspirations are, Jerry Garcia, The Grateful Dead, John Lennon, George Harrison, Bob Marley, Miles Davis, and Frederick Chopin to name a few.

Cost:  $25.00 per person. Register early to ensure your space.

We will be celebrating the harvest full moon, Aries/Libra this Sunday at Heart Sounds.

Have you noticed how all the squirrels have been scampering about as they store their harvest for the winter? Lets JAM together to release those sound vibrations that will help us stay warm and have all the necessities for the winter season. It is a time to begin that inward heart journey of reflection, to reflect on our accomplishments during this radiant year and to take time to rest and regenerate.

Jeremy Sills will guide the experience bringing his healing music, crystal bowls, drumming and harmonic overtoning to the evening. Anamda & Satkiana will use voice, harmonium, singing bowls and a special healing ceremony to support the evening.
