Seaside Rhythms (giordanoMEDIA)

Every individual, whether they are aware of it or not, has a sense of rhythm. Even you. True percussive sound fully experienced through the tribal drum circle has the power to take us back to a more primitive time. Our minds analyze and find comfort in the repetition of the beating drum; a bond established in utero thanks to the hypnotic, muffled thump of our mother's heart. The rhythm melds with liquid in our bodies, making it dance on microscopic levels--sound penerates every fiber of our being.

We are all drawn to some form of music. The more we create it, participate in it, experience it...the more connected to ourselves we become.

This short film depicts a friendly group of individuals who recognize and embrace our rhythmic predisposition, enjoy a downright good time and, when combining their musical passion with the Surfers' Point beach area, create an exceptional blend of tribal vibes and seaside rhythms.

At Surfers' Point, located in coastal Ventura, Calif., locals and tourists alike endeavor to experience a social, active, healthy life in the sun and by the beach. A temporary, albeit necessary, escape from reality to remind themselves that there is more to life than work, technology, and mainstream media. Music can be a catalyst for such realization.
