Preparation and Improvisation

Michael Scott Parker and James Harwood play Jovita's, Dec 20 in AustinHello Beautiful Beings,

Call up a friend and invite them for a stellar hour of Creature Rock tomorrow, Saturday, December 20, from 6-7 PM at Jovita's on South 1st St., in South Austin.

Michael Creature and her drumming architect ~Mr. James Harwood~ are performing together for the first time! The two debut piano music from the Creature Sessions, and Naked favorites. Oh God, don't miss it!

Speaking of God... Over the past few weeks, two concepts have been cross-pollinating the Pink Elephant Studio - preparation and improvisation. And how a mortal summons these powers into the awareness of spirit in service to the Great Consciousness of the human expression.

Michael Creature and James Harwood rehearsingThe practice of music is rooted in self expression. Yet we slow down our tempo and put our intention into a present state that prepares us for the moment when we share and improv with our audiences.

We practice opening the subconscious to channel our spirit through our art in a way that can be achieved again and again. When confronted with the question of summoning motivation, a simple solution to understand, is that practice requires no motivation! It is only a commitment to time. When you commit to practicing something daily, anything at all, there is awakening within us that allows the spirit to come through our intention and into form. It is the spirit that motivates and animates the human expression.

Painting the danceable pianoIf that isn't good enough, here is your Creature Homework - make a 150 year plan for your life. Medical science is improving, after all! How might you be more or less motivated? Would it alter your priorities?

New Creature Rock stickers available now!

Turn someone you love on to the gift of Creature News. Sign them up HERE. And don't forget that CDs are still in style, especially ours since they are full of great visual art-pick one up at Waterloo or End of an Ear, or order one from cdbaby, amazon, or creature rock.

HUGE LOVE TO YOU ALL!!!!!! -----
