Singing is the most immediate way for a human to develop its musical imagination and visionarity. To be complemented with hitting, slapping, tapping, and knocking diverse body parts.
The latter aspect might call for a reduced apllication of textiles, but not necessarily so much, that you have to transcend any borderlines of decensy.
A well developed set of abdominal muscles, as necessary for low brass playing, will also provide you a very detailed and varied set of body ressonances.
Your humble owner of two sets of conga, tumba, and quinto. A wooden and a human cum fleshy.
Klaus,
who repeatedly has been taught that any sort of improvisation/embellishment is based on the very basic relations between mind and body. If you find this statement cryptic, that makes two of us.
