Mogli is an acoustic multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter musician/composer with a knack for high tech sound gadgets. An organic synergy of acoustic instruments and electronic music technology carves vast spaces to open your mind and spirit. Some have called Mogli’s sets acoustic dreamtime journey music. Using instruments such as guitar, mandolin, banjo, kalimba, ethnic percussion, children’s toys and an cornucopia of bells and whistles (literally), beautiful found sound landscapes are created to make you smile and dance.
Good Feeling, uplifting, acoustic dreamtime journey music.
