The Hermetic Bamboo Flute Method by Cornelius Boots Cornelius Boots
Meridian Music: Composers in Performance presents Cornelius Boots. Cornelius Boots plays renegade nature music on giant Zen bamboo flutes. These raw bamboo flutes evoke the breathy sound of sacred mysteries and have been used as meditation tools by esoteric Zen monks and mountain hermits for over 1000 years. Exploring these earthy sounds creates a connection to Nature and primordial dream states of consciousness: the trees singing, the mud chanting, the cave yawning, the sage wandering, the invisible glowing. Cornelius’ performance at Meridian will consist entirely of the long-form, chance operation format called The Hermetic Bamboo Flute Method. This is an experimental, improvised music ritual focused on spontaneous, elemental sound explorations on 10 big bamboo flutes. $10 general; $5 students/seniors
