Summer Solstice Crystal Journey Concert

June 22 7-9pm

Investment: $35

Crystal Journey and David Hickey performs with 8-10 Paiste Planet, Symphonic and Sound Creation Gongs. Every Gong features a strong fundamental note tuned to represent a natural harmonic series based on the orbital properties of the Sun, the Earth, the Moon and the other planets. This Theory is based upon Pythagorean Cosmology.

2 Persian Santoor's. The Santoor is an Indo-Persian trapezoid-shaped hammered dulcimer or string musical instrument made of walnut with seventy-two strings. It is the national musical instrument of Iran. It dates back to ancient time, Mesopotamia (1600-911 BC) and Babylonia. It's a Beautiful sounding instrument often sounding like a piano. The Gongs and Santoor are accompanied by 6-8 Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls. Each produces a pure note or tone, the purest there is.

About the bowls:

Crystals are fossilized water. When silica sand and water are combined under certain conditions of pressure, temperature and energy, crystals are formed. Quartz Crystal is known to amplify, transform, store, focus, and transfer energy; and is found in such common objects as microphones, radio, television, time pieces, laser tools, and computers. The human body is crystalline in structure, which leads to the crystals having a profound effect on our organs, tissues, cells, circulatory, endocrine, and metabolic systems.

About the gongs:

Gongs belong to the oldest and most important musical instruments of South East Asia. Their origins may be traced back to the second millennium B.C., but it is assumed that the gong is much older. In Chinese history, gongs are mentioned around 500 A.D., attributed to a nation called HSI YU between Tibet and Burma during the reign of Emperor Hsuan Wu.

Crystal Journey has been touring Canada and the US coast to coast for the past 22 years and has performed over 1700 shows. Crystal Journey has also released 9 CDs to date. I have played the Bowls and Gongs accompanied by various musicians as well as with the Winnipeg Chamber Orchestra in June of 2006.

As 2023 unfolds and 2024 approaches, I hope to create more awareness of my music through new recordings, a greater online presence and some live videos. The world and in particular the human race is at a crossroads. Music can help ease some of our stress and hostility. Each Crystal Journey concert is aimed at providing the audience with a safe and relaxing environment. Each of my performances are completely improvised, and unique. The music attracts a full range of listeners. My concerts are typically in two sets, each lasting about an hour in length.

My main musical inspirations are, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Gord Downie, John Lennon, George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, The Who, Jerry Garcia to name a few.
