Our featured musical performers, Moments of Clarity, describe themselves as transcendant…organic jambient electronica.”
Their music pushes the boundaries creating soundscapes that transport one through maya…the unknown…the void. Conceived
in the wilds of northern Idaho, Moments of Clarity has excelled in the study of musical and spiritual pursuits
under such masters as Ali Akbar Khan and Mamady Keita. This transformational music is a blend of Hindustani, African,
Jazz, World, Electronic, and Funk. Moments of Clarity will be in San Diego this week as they are cutting their
fourth CD here before they begin touring. Instrumentation includes Bass, Picolo Bass, Sitar, Djembe, Didgeridoo,
Ocean Drum, and various percussion instruments. The players are Darin Schaffer, Tom Taylor, and Imperial Beach’s
own David Grey Hawk. At a recent Moments of Clarity show an audience member commented: “you just gotta hear ‘em…it’s
too hard to describe…the guy can make his bass sound like…whales in the ocean!”
This is fun for the whole family…all ages are encouraged to put on your smocks and / or dancing shoes for this
multi-sensory celebration. Show your pride for your local artists and Imperial Beach by dropping by. This visual
and performing arts extravaganza will unfold this Sunday, March 5, from noon till 6:00 p.m. 150 Palm Avenue Imperial
Beach CA 91932. This event is brought to you by the Imperial Beach Art Guild and with the continued support of
THE BRIDGE Indian Training Trust Fund Foundation.
