description 'A journey! from a seed, to a flower through a bee… it is a relationship with nature that is silent, we do not know if either is conscious of this interaction but we know that we see plants and nature blossom because of this. Is this not also the story of the bow... who were the seeds the flowers and the bees? did they know? Those in the Film have dedicated their spirits in search of traditional spirits and healers - their medicine, sound and vibration; the trilogies map will follow their song! Be it the drum, bow or horn we will venture to move like the cultures and instruments of old like the nomadic Khoi and San!’ This is a sonic text, accompanied by visual reality, all the details are in the sounds gestures, smiles, eyes and interactions made in this text… these are not interviews but a journey through the gaze of an apprentice! A focus on the instrumentalist, as alchemist, sonic healer and cultural treasure. The end, to point to the reality of a rich shared h’story between Afro- Asia through the making of the musical bow!
