Outdoors: skiing (downhill, backcountry), climbing (rock, ice, alpine), paddling, mountain biking

The Toggle is Jim Spiri, sometimes with guest musicians. I call the music 'psychedelic gamelan' [psychedelic = "mind-manifesting" (from Gk. psykhe- "mind" + deloun "make visible, reveal,"]. I play Computer, keyboards, Roland HandSonic percussion unit, bass, western electric sitar, baritone ukelele, gamelan instruments, gongs, tabla, dumbek, etc. There are elements of world music, minimalism, ambient music, etc. Often using non-western scales and tunings. The music also has meditative and healing properties. Sound and video on www.myspace.com/the toggle. Available for live performance for receptions and other events
