Details:
An old school house in Finniss,
Rural South Australia,
Played host to The Percussion House
For three jam packed days.

A truck load of beautiful instrumentsâ¦.
A continuum of found objects
And in the spirit of openness
And trust in intuition,

Three fortunate musicians stumbled across these elements in rhythm

In synchronicity unintended⦠the elements evolved
Earth was laid down⦠wind creaked at the doorâ¦
Fire under the kettle⦠the water started to move
Our spirits elevated⦠metal meditatedâ¦

In synchronicity unintended,
Homage was paid to the ancient connection
Humans have with the energy of music.
