Can a drum plays itself?

how would a drum define music?

Sara said...

Wouldn't that be the player's business?

anne artist said...

i have heard/read that the instrument plays the player. yet, the player has the music inside.....paradoxical......

Sara said...

Connections again, it seems.

I've never played a drum.

Musical notes...language of instruments. Have you ever talked to one?

i have a native american drum. made by a woman of power. on it is a painted image of a snake.

I'm addicted to stuff related with aborigines and to their crafts.

I have a guitar, her name is Isabel. I tell her all my secrets and feelings, no one else knows as well as she does.

anne artist said...

i can see that about you and aboriginal art....the feel of the earth in between their toes as they create.....

there is an older book by bruce chatwin.....songlines....it is about the walkabout in australia. how the aboriginal people sing their world into existence.

and i like that you have isabel in her life. and admire your relationship. i have a new guitar. we are still getting acquainted.....i hope to be like you some day....

Sara said...

It's awsome what I've heard, seen and read aborigines do.

I hope your relationship with your new friend be as beautiful as it can be.

anne artist said...

thank you. her name is scarlette. she is a three quarter size guitar. interesting sound. always surprises me.

how did you discover aboriginal art?

Sara said...

Hi Scarlette, you have a beautiful name. I'm happy for you, couldn't be better with someone else.

Well, I don't know a lot about art, much less about aboriginal art, but I love it in some way I cannot explain how I get to it.
My aunt was the influence. She made me to love reading and this art. She has been always involved with this kind of beautiful people, her aboriginal friends used to go to her house, which was right upstairs of mine when I was little. She has been my best friend, if I call it like that, so obviously I wanted to be exactly like her, as good anoying kid. I wanted to understan why she does everything. So I can say I started this way, because of her and her different friends that also made me presents (if they wanted to be more than her friends) like rucksacks, "catches dreams", flutes, manacles full of colors, ponchoes, aboriginal masks, etc...
At the end she got married with an anthropologist that was crazy about all the handcrafted stuff; their home was full of jars of mud, rare stones brought from "The Amazonas" a tropical jungle here in Colombia, indigenous pictures, exotic necklaces...etc
