Moving my blog over to shawnmativetsky.com

Dear friends,

With the recent update of my website, I now have the ability to integrate the blog directly into the website, so that is what I am doing; it just makes sense. I will no longer be posting updates here. Thank you to all of you for your interest in my musical adventures. Please click along to my website for the continuation of this blog in the future! If you would like to update your RSS subscription, this is the new RSS URL: http://shawnmativetsky.com/blogs/blog.atom

I hope to see you over at shawnmativetsky.com!

Space Gathering with Jonathan Voyer

This past July, santoor player Jonathan Voyer and I performed at the Space Gathering, at Ste-Agathe-de-Lotbinière, which is not too far from Victoriaville. Space Gathering is a festival that takes place out in the country, in a beautiful natural setting. Most people camp out for the three days, but we were only able to stay for the day. Most of the performances are DJs and dance music bands, but Space Gathering also has a long tradition of Indian classical music performances at the 'Temple' stage, which was located right next to a sparking river.



I have to admit that while I have seen numerous statues or pictures of Ganeshji playing all kinds of musical instruments, I have never seen him with a turntable before!



We had an amazing time, playing to a captive audience as the sun was setting.

Thanks to Caroline Tabah for the photos! (Many more photos available on my Facebook page!)
