HALO MOON
HE MYSTICAL STORY OF HALO MOON……….
(by Mitchellini Avi)
In a small coffee shop at the foothills of the whispering mountains four friends met for the first time.
This seemingly chance meeting quickly led to a river of sound:
Rhythms, harmonies, subtle dynamic words and music were soon to fill the air …
As they waited for the rain outside to stop they each noticed that
the others had carried in instruments.
The head barista at the coffee shop, Mitchellini Avi, picked up his
guitar from behind the counter and let his fingers fall over an A minor 6/9 chord.
Over near the fireplace Countess Shantinakoff played a descending line on her melodica and then sang a wordless melody in answer to the guitar arpeggio.
As if by magic, a djembe and a set of cymbals appeared next to a table by the door and a body swaying groove flowed from the fingers of Tosho the ArtTeo.
Next, a bass line came in from a place at the end of the counter as Soulriser added a jazz tinged favor to the sound – both melodic and funky at the same time.
Something was clearly taking form …..
Soon voices were singing and blending in harmony.
As the music morphed and grew before their eyes, the musicians looked
at each other with smiles all around …..
Outside the full moon was shining down through the mist.
Halo Moon was born.
The band played their first show later that night at the coffee shop.
Since then they have dedicated their lives to exploring the path of music with
their Songs of Spirit, Nature, and Life ……
And now they send out an invitation, especially for you,
To join them in the circle of fire,
In the caravan of souls,
In the flowing music of life …………………………….
