Nepal Film Festival Award
It has finally arrived. I have never received such a beautifully crafted award. I feel blessed for receiving it from the International Folk Music Film Festival from Nepal for my short movie Bagpipes and Drums. It will be hanging above my detuned piano so whenever I play it, I will be connecting with the universe.

Prague Liveact
Far East Sketches
audiovideo performance led by Andrej Kocan
video prepared and manipulated by Darrell Jónsson
21 September 2018, 9:30 pm
Location: Urban Space Epics Studio, Meet Factory, Prague
This audiovisual work fuses music made and recorded in local, mostly indigenous, communities around the world with western music. Thus the finished productions contrast the work and feel of musics made in local communities with that made in and for postmodern, industrialized societies. These presentations evoke in the audience awareness of and reflection on fast transformations currently at work in the world. By listening to, and flowing with, these changes, a track or path for spiritual travel emerges, and invites the listener to travel across time, space and states of mind and feeling.
