About Crystal Journey (David Hickey)
Based in Mount Hope, Ontario, David performs with Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls, each produces a pure note or tone, the purest there is. You have to hear them to believe it. He plays them in combination with 8-18 Paiste Gongs, Santoor and Vibraphone. Every gong features a strong fundamental note tuned to represent a natural harmonic series based on the orbital properties of the Sun, the Earth, the Moon and the other planets. “It’s like having a full orchestra.” comments David. He also performs with a vibraphone and santoor.
The past eight years have seen him touring Canada coast to coast performing over 800 shows and releasing 8 CD’s. David has played the Bowls and Gongs accompanied by various musicians as well as with the Winnipeg Chamber Orchestra June 2006.
The intent of the performance is to create soothing, meditative and healing music. Each one of the performances are completely improvised and unique. The music attracts a full range of listeners. Concerts are in two sets, each lasting about an hour.

What You Can Expect
The shows will take place in two 40 to 50 minute sets. David's usual set up includes 10-12 Quartz Crystal Bowls, 8-10 Paiste Planet Gongs, Vibraphone and Santoor. Nothing is pre-recorded or rehearsed. Each set and performance is sonically pure and unique. You can purchase CDs and other merchandise at the shows with cash or cheque.
We invite you to take a seat or lay down as close to the instruments as possible to get the greatest effect. Remember to bring a yoga matt, blanket and/or pillow as most venues will have floor space to lay down. Chairs for regular seating are also available. Where possible we encourage you to share rides and car pool. It not only saves gas but helps to reduce our carbon foot print on the earth and traffic.
