Resonance Musique et Do-In

The musician's do-in helps to develop a relationship with oneself, in presence and while playing one's instrument, thus promoting greater freedom of expression. In this book, the authors have developed a wide range of original practices, gathered around five themes echoing five elements from Chinese culture and understanding of nature, the universe and the human being:

rhythm - earth
melody - water
harmony - fire
sound - metal
creativity - wood

These practices are accessible to all experienced instrumentalists, performers, improvisers, composers, from jazz, classical or any other musical style, as well as to teachers who want to introduce body awareness into their pedagogy.

An essential work that highlights the involvement of the body and sensations in creative processes.
