We had a precious opportunity to play music with world -famous Indian classical musicians, 
Kumar & Debojyoti Bose.
They are both playing music all over the world. Kumar has played with Ravi shankar (for 10 years), George Harrison, and many well known musicians at Carnegie Hall, Buckingham Palace, etc.

We just had a wonderful weekend at Denmark Festival of Voice!!
People in Denmark really love singing.....and they enjoyed singing kirtan in our workshop very much.
And the news of the Crystal Armonica spread by mouth and many people stopped to talk with us. We are happy to have received so many positive comments.
We were asked to come back to Denmark by many people, and have been already offered to have a concert at the Steiner school in Denmark through a beautiful crystal shop - The Sacred Tree!! (thanks!)
 Thanks everyone, thanks Denmark !!

Beautiful old wooden church - St. Leonard's Church. 
We gave a workshop "Sound for Health" and had a performance here.

Nice & healthy meals at a cafe in Denmark.

Another venue we played at was the Civic Hall ... for finale.

Just before we performed...

Thats because the CD has arrived and we can pick it up tomorrow.
So much work but the reward is close.
Now to rehearse for the weekends  gigs at the Denmark Festival this weekend.

Just finished recording of the Armonica 2nd album.. "Nomad Dream" !!!
We put so much energy and time in for the recording, but we are really happy
that the album became a most satisfactory one!!!
It will be available in 10 days !!!

first studio "Studio 42"...I recorded 3 songs in this studio

Staring at the computer screen....mmmm....it often doesn't go smoothly!!

We took  the Armonica apart, washed and sanded each crystal bowl for a better sound.
They look all happier and are shining more beautifully....

2nd studio "Shanghai Twang Studios".
Happy smile for the best condition of Armonica...!

Many people requested.... to record erhu (Chinese violin)  !!!

And of course, various kinds of sounds on keyboard.
Chiho recorded vocal too  (but sorry forgot to take photos..)

Phil supported Chiho with the T-shirt "Tensai-desukara"
(means, "because I am genius" in Japanese) .... LOL !!!
