With decades of experience in the fields of Live Performance, Singing Bowls, Gongs, Electronics, Guitar and other exotic instruments, Craig and Andy will systematically offer detailed and technical guidance throughout the weekend, leaving the participants hungry to further develop their own unique SoundScaping style.
