Hi, my name is David. I want you to feel amazing.

    Composer, multi-instrumentalist, sound practitioner, culture bearer. David Geathers has spent years in community across Altadena, Santa Cruz, and Long Beach, developing his sound.

    He found the tongue drum as an extension of his sound healing set. Played alongside crystal bowls and other resonant metals, it makes a sound that settles and soothes, opening space to ground.

    All Tongue is what happens when you play full heart in, and the offering carries you toward a higher frequency. All Tongue is music for a balanced head space: focus, meditation, breath, creative time or rest.

    the instrument

    What is a tongue drum?

    A steel dome with tongues cut into its surface. Each one tuned to a note, each one struck by hand or mallet. There are no wrong notes on it. Every note played belongs.

    Strike one tongue and the whole body of the drum hums with it. The tone hangs in the air longer than you expect, and that lingering is the point. It draws your breathing down toward a restful, parasympathetic pace, which is why this instrument turns up in meditation rooms and play centered spaces alike.
