& MORE TO COME ~?~
Mantra Hop : is an initiative focused on group mantra singing mixed with movement and dance from electronic low-fi beats, sub bass and live instrumental looping based on Indian Classical Music, creating a dynamic journey from subtle ceremonial silence, lush atmospheric sound scapes to upbeat dance music, mantra singing, live instrumentation and then returning back to the meditational space.
This flow or structure is also what one would expect in a traditional yoga class and also the format of Indian classical music and will be a new type of sharing with never before released music and with moment to moment real time looping and improvisation. The music reflects a fine balance of freedom within the structure and a blend of that which is ancient, timeless to the modern day tastes of technology. A fine blend in simpler words of the head and the heart.
Indian Classical Concert Events Termed :
Soul Sangeet
Sangeet is sound or music in Sanskrit and follows a deep belief of spirit in sound; hence Soul Sangeet. NadaBrahma a famous Sanskrit proverb underlines the ancient and now modern belief that the world/ universe is created, sustained and made from sound. Soul Sangeet attempts to bridge this ancient belief fusing the highly evolved form of Indian Classical with Modern day music.
Since diving into the world of sound Shivam blends a unique 22 string slide guitar/sitar (known by his teacher as the chattarangi) with a crystal slide. This fusion instrument symbolises a cross culture of harmony in sound and music; inspiring Shivam to create the events Soul Sangeet in order to facilitate this process on a wider scale and reach a wider audience. Each event incorporates different musicians, instruments, vocalists and international Special guests bridging the gap between world and local music and establishing a wider world music culture.
