intricacies of energy
beauty
rhythm
i fill my time with:
reading stacks and stacks of books
imagining myself in a world almost but not entirely different than the one I current exist in
playing myself in to a trance with my hand drums
dancing
Reiki
Spending time with Xochitl, Satoria and Shiva

My wife is my hero. And the pug. The Shiva pug. The pug of... pugness.
I am in a couple bands in the Salt Lake City area. See my profile for more information. Music makes me happy. (I put percussion because it is my love but I play MANY MANY Instruments)
關於我： Do you think if I fill out this "About Me" I might cause less confusion? Perhaps my existence shall be a knife blade that slides effortlessly thru misunderstanding and bewilderment. To be honest the quotes below will give better insightful thought into my existence than this will.
You are warned.
My name is Byron; I grew up amid the beauty and grandeur of southern Utah. I have lived here in Salt Lake City for many years now. One of my favorite job I have had is SLC has been working at the downtown public library. Books are in my blood. As well as magic and music. I am a versatile musician who plays and experiments with many instruments. Mainly I am a hand percussionist but I play the musical saw, melodeon, tin whistle, guitar, piano, and a few other odds and ends. I play in a few bands here in the valley. They should be the first four members on my top 8 just below. Please feel free to give them a listen. I practice Reiki and other healing activities as a massage therapist. My wife Xochitl is the light that keeps my life in harmony. She is my other half. My beautiful daughter Satoria is true fairy child. My lifetime goals seem to rise and fall but I am pretty sure I would like to be a gypsy.
that stone Buddha deserves
all the birdshit it gets,
I wave my skinny arms like
a tall flower in the wind
-Ikkyu
"Hurrah for anarchy! This is the happiest moment of my life."
~ George Engel's last words on the gallows
Like the little stream
Making its way
Through the mossy crevices,
I, too, quietly
Turn clear and transparent.
How are you? I just got the T-shirts I ordered for the NYC Musical Saw Festival. I'm excited about the logo: What do you think? I hope you can join us at the festival on Saturday, July 18th, 2pm at Trinity Church, 31-18 37th street, Astoria (Queens), NY.
I'm touring in Norway with "Off The Wall". World-music with electronic instruments, mixed with acoustic original instruments from Africa. Kouam e Sereba (Dodo/vocal/percussion) Together with Erik Wøllo (www. wollo. com) (electronic instruments and guitar) and Uriel Seri (el.drums/percussion). This year we will play 75 concerts at junior high schools in Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger and N. Trøndela
Nothing yet. We're in the middle of fiddlers and we're still kind of looking for other instruments (bodhrán, accordion, etc...). But hopefully soon. I was actually thinking about asking Muses to play at our first show, so keep an eye out! - Travis
