It is set amidst the trees of the Waitakere foothills and has provided a special creative space for artists and audiences for two decades. Park on the driveway and car-pool if you can.
Musical Sound Journey weaves together ethnic instruments from around the globe with modern soundscapes—blending ambient music, chill-out grooves, jazz, electronica, live percussion and song into a transformative musical experience.
Matt Reece is a long-time student of world instruments, including overtone flutes, kalimba, ngoni (African harp), taonga puoro (traditional Māori instruments), didgeridoo, and percussion.
John Goudge has been a singer/songwriter, composer, and musical director for four decades. He fuses SFX, synthesizers, guitars, and voice with world music.
“I was totally blown away Musical Sound Journey - during an extraordinary performance… These men are exceptional musicians and have an innovative vision… a fantastic musical experience.”
“Totally transported, loved every minute.”
“Love the way you weave the sound together, drawing in the peace love and joy, bringing people of the earth together.”
