Nice and clean. Congrats! Very hard piece to get right, takes a lot of passion.

@agendu Thank you so much! Have to psych myself up for each performance!

[@rchwastiak]

@sendme68 Good luck with your performance and thanks for the kind words! Stay tuned for more works to go up soon! =)

[@sendme68]

Wow! I'm so glad i could see you do this with a mic, it makes a lot of sense. I'm performing this soon, and i will use one for sure, very good job too! Nice interpretations!

This is great! =D

@nebojsazivkovic Thanks so much! Was super surprised to get the the notification that the composer commented on the work! Totally agree with you on the instrument choice. Unfortunately at the time this was what was available. What djembes have you had the most luck with performing this piece? Also, how did you run into my performance? just wondering =)

[@rchwastiak]

@sendme68 Thank you so much! If you will be using a mic, depending on room size, you may need to mic the drum also.

Hey Rich, - very nice, I just got across this recording. and I like really lot of things here. THanks man! Just one thing, if you every do itgain, please use ANY Djembe except REMO,, do not get me wrong remo has many coool instruments but djembes simply hae no bass at all. zero. well at least this is my opinion. thanks again, and say hallo to folks at NEC!

One of my favorite recordings of this piece!! Thanks for the upload! Did you have breath control problems on the chant part? That's the biggest issue I'm having. I hope to have it all worked out by the time I perform this summer. Great playing!
