The Ironwoodbob Experience

Ironwoodbob is an old sage who wanders out of the desert to tell stories and pontificates philosophies about the ways of the world as he weaves stories, music, visual art and videos into a tapestry of life experiences from the beginning through the present and into the future.  Ironwoodbob evolves from a food gatherer and hunter into a future age when some humans become aware that they are the caretakers of the planet earth.  Then they begin to influence all the living to seek harmony.  Ironwoodbob sees reality much like our ancient ancestors who passed on a point of view in the "Dreaming."  Like the ancient ones,  he searches for harmony as he lives in a symbiotic, synergistic relationship with the earth.

     Ironwoodbob blends narratives, poetry quotations, binaural beats, drums, didgeridoos, guitars, voice, synthesized music, natural sounds, watercolors, photographic prints, collage, concrete sculptures, and paper mobiles into a musical multi media experience with videos that reflect this journey.  His life experiences reveal hope and joy as he gains wisdom and empowers all to nurture positive change.  People with their collections, the plants with their flowers, the desert with its rocks and butterflies and cranes with their journeys are the subject matter as he attempts to influence all of mankind to live in harmonious ways.  After more than 10 years of creating, this work has become of most importance to him.  The effects of controlled breathing exercises and meditation techniques as well as creating awareness of the effects sound and infrasonic waves on the mind and body has become the focus.  It can all be summed up in a quotation from the True Believer by the famous and only 20the century American Philosopher, Eric Hoffer.

"When our individual interests and prospects do not seem worth living for, we are in desperate need for something apart from us to live for.All forms of dedication, devotion, loyalty and self-surrender are in essence a desperate clinging to something which might give worth and meaning to out lives."

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983), The True Believer (1951) thanks to Laird Wilcox, Ed," The Degeneration of Belief

Ironwoodbob's World

Ironwoodbbob's world is a skewed path in a world of living along the fringe where unknowns are created as we touch the edges of reality in places where all is random. Sometimes patterns form within the random along the way as we ride on the top of a crest, sinks underneath with the calm or tread in the wake.

Sometimes the wave forms new frequencies and patterns when they meet.
Everything makes patterns over time.
Many patterns happen abruptly.
A string of patterns may end at the same place.
The same time can be long and short.
Absolutes like good and bad don't exist because everything is relative.

Outcomes are random with probabilities.
Most parts of any movement follows the mass.
It just wasn't that long ago when we all were waves of energy.
Over time we bundled with more waves that synergistically flow together to form sensory receptors that help the sentient beings understand the universe.
Every time a rock moves or the wind blows, their actions stir the surroundings and that affects movement as it stirs more waves into action.
We all are really the god at the moment of time within our small surrounding universe.

Ironwoodbob's essence is a micro man who searches for harmony in this very small world where all is local and  the mundane becomes the sublime.  As it happens in "The Dreaming",

Ironwoodbob has been influenced by many religions, scientific disciplines, writers, musicians, composers, healers and thinkers. They all have helped him to see outside the box of common perceptions and look beyond to discovers new horizons.
His human body, mind and spirit is made up of a unique combination of organisms, chemicals and waves that contribute to the greater whole. These parts transform life into a conscious soul with awareness and ethos. 

We think we have "free will," however, it is all the stuff within and outside  us that contribute to our ethos.  We all dart around ever so faster  contributing to a greater whole and  spirit of the earth within the grand universe.

The mundane and sublime are in a constant interplay within any moment of time.

Ironwoodbob is just a small part in a moment.
