In the culture of gourds can be heard the sound of noise of NATURE before its artificial demise by "music" & diatonic harmony. The gourd resonance of the past is a complete equation beginning with the seed to the growing to the drying to the breaking open to the crafting to the playing to the sound of the seed. For the Taoists of early China gourds were the legendary symbol of chaos & the faceless void. Both as container for food storage & sacred vessel of religious overtones the gourd is a planetary offering ripe for the having. By invoking the sounds of playing, the gourd is quite possibly any & every instrument. It can be plucked, blown, struck, bowed, eaten out of & store the ashes of the dead. As history expands rapidly in all dimensions so to does the need to evolve its uses into unimagined realms.
