meetup group: suburban mysticism
I’ve started a meetup group at meetup.com. Meetup.com is a website where you can find groups of like minded people in your local area, or create your own group, with the intention of meeting up.
It may be the start of something amazing, or maybe it won’t get off the ground at all. We’ll see.
Here’s the brief:
“Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained”
William Blake
I’ve started this group with the goal of getting people together to enjoy playing and singing as a collective, to learn, and to create music with a mystical feel. Simple and natural, yet mysterious and magical. Ultimately to be recorded, and for a one off performance.
The concept of the music: Suburban Mysticism
Spiritual, mystical and otherworldly, praising esoteric heavenly entities, performing rituals, casting magic spells, fulfilling ones own desires.
Whether you have any spiritual beliefs, or not, is beside the point, it’s a search for a mystical experience within the music. If you do have any interest in the metaphysical, perhaps you would like to contribute?
If you have a passion to play or sing, but have no formal training, then you are welcome.
Some musical intuition would be required from group members, and more advanced musicians are required to take turns in conducting sections of the ensemble, or themes and ideas (your ideas / arrangements are welcome), as well as performing.
