Bawu Instrument

 Bawu (chinese woodwind instrument)

The Bawu is a wind instrument in China. Although it's shaped like a flute, it's really a free reed instrument with a single metal reed. It's played in a transverse way. It has a pure, clarinet-like timbre, and its playing technique incorporates the use of a lot of ornamentation, especially bending tones.

HOW TO PLAY A BAWU
The player must cover the reed tightly with the mouth and exert considerable air pressure to sustain the vibration of the reed. Bawu is only capable of a single octave and, unlike free reed mouth organs, only exhalation is done.

Batik Design

Imahe
 BATIK PATTERN by Vanissa Patalinghug                                                  The word batik is thought to be derived from the word ' ambatik'  which translated means 'a cloth with little dots'. The suffix ' tik'  means little dot, drop, point or to make dots. Batik may also originate from the Javanese word ' tritik'  which describes a resist process for dying where the patterns are reserved on the textiles by tying and sewing areas prior to dying, similar to tie dye techniques. Another Javanese phase for the mystical experience of making batik is “ mbatik manah ” which means “drawing a batik design on the heart”.                                     Here I am drawing a batik pattern on a paper.  ...
