Ashirvad – Promo Video

We have been busy at Sangita Studios brewing up an alchemical visual mix in the Ashirvad Video (or Ashirvideo as I like to call it). Enjoy it in the mode of deep sensual stimulation.  This is the “tryptamine surfer mix”, a psychedelic celebration of colour and sound.

‘ASHIRVAD’ -  is a musical pilgrimage & kaleidoscopic celebration of Divine & Earthly blessings – An adventure from Glastonbury to India, reflecting the universal spiritual journey of the soul.

Through the power and mystery of sound and music, we invoke a musical offering to the Gods.

The creative process was initiated around the time of the Millenium with a cosmic calling to share the majestic magic of music – That is transcendental in tone, tryptamine in timbre, revelatory in rhythm and mellifluous in mood.

‘ASHIRVAD’ contains droplets of sparkling sonic nectar, that dance blissfully in the ecstatic ocean of Shabdha Brahman (Spiritual Sound Vibrations).

With the Grace of the Gods we share the fruits of our humble creations with the residents of this, our Earth Nation.

Peace and Blessings. Mathura das & Darren Sangita @ Sangita Sounds

Greg Hunter & Kalahari Surfers – Turntabla

Wonderful news.  This collection of tracks from a decade ago will finally see the light of day.  Some of these tracks have been heard on the ambient scene, unrelesed classics that have certainly been a part of the my DJ sets for the past years.  This lost classic album will feature new, remixes and original tracks from ’98/’99.

Here is a word from Warrick Sony of the Kalahari Surfers.

All sounds were originated by our performances and those of the special sessions which we hosted at the studio. Brendan had left Cape Town and the project by the time of Greg’s second and third visits which saw the pieces morphing into huge sound epics with sampled and performed merging together processed and squeezed into the ether. Strings and things were developed and added at Milestone. Speakers were blown. Greg left with a box of mixes and we resolved to do a track each separately and release it all as a band called PLINC the album Turntabla. Greg was never entirely happy with many of the tracks and the distance and interest made the project difficult to complete for him, other things croppedup and life overtook us all. Robert approached me towards the end of 2007 and asked if I would revisit it as a Kalahari Surfer and finish it off, which I did.

:: NOODREEM – Leafy  ::

We are interested in the comprehension of the morphological cultural perspectives of sound and music and the vibrational nature of reality as expressed through music, song and dance (“Sangita”).  This is the essence of our focus in our works in the studio space, the live performance space and the indigenous folk spaces of the world.

We believe in the ancient Vedic Yoga of Nada Brahma and involve ourselves in the contemporary search for eternal wisdom and truths through the search for and creation of Sonic Beauty. In connection with the ancient traditions of those who have sung and danced those songs before us, and reaching out to the future vision of humanity as voyagers, through both inner and outer space, we look to the ancient, futuristic song of humanity to understand our place in History.

We are at a unique time in human history, particularly because so many of us have so much access to the knowledge of what our collective journey has been.  This ultimately can only allow true knowledge and understanding to prevail, whereupon we may find ourselves wondering how we ever made it here, considering our collective violent history of wars, dominance, religious and political crusades time and time again.  And if our environmental destruction continues, we stand to lose so much more than the earths precious natural resources.  We will have lost our connection to ourselves. We believe in the healing power of plants and the ability of plants and music to re-connect us to the Creator. We wish for the day when the ancient knowledge of plants is unbound and once again freely used as nature intended.

The essence of our human being is always expressed through our music, and the deepest truths of our being are still being sung of deep in jungles by hunters and shamans, in far off deserts by salt traders and camel herders, in 4000 year old spiritual cities by priests and devotees.  Consciousness is common thread throughout humanity.  Each culture has different words, concepts of consciousness.  So like religions they may at first seem different, but with an expanded consciousness one can see the unity in essence as all are coming from the same source.

We aim to reflect the beauty of all these ancient traditions, and celebrate the new styles of sound design and sophisticated technological music making techniques. We celebrate the fact of the opening of physical, mental and emotional borders, the dissolving of boundaries that is occurring between cultures and people of the earth.  Our vision of the future is one full of Joy, as the sharing and fascination of the interplay between different people and cultures is celebrated and acknowledged.  Like a Kaleidoscopic crystal, our Earth populated by so many different people who are yet essentially, so similar!  We can all experience the bliss of our human unity, we can all share in this unique experience of being alive in this world, our Earth.  The Creator has given us this wonderful home to Love One Another, to know the joy of living, to experience the bliss of this existence, our Human being.

Metasurfing


As a master craftsman of the Sonic arts, Greg Hunter‘s Metasurfing is one of the most eagerly awaited release of recent times. A mythical long player of granular tryptamine sonically inverse filtered journeys through the worlds of Dub, classical Hindustani, Electronica and Persian instrumental musics.

The fruits of his labour are finally shared in this peace missive for the countdown to 2012 (only 3 years to go!!!). At times challenging and often deeply mystifying, this album offers rich and sonically engaging worlds to explore and revel in as the boundaries of sound are pushed to the Edge and back again.

It gives uniquely delightful pleasure to announce this long player, available now for Download and Donate. Be sure to support the artist with your generous donation in support of this bold move, choosing to make new and futuristic music available through independent channels, directly from the Artist to the Listener.

UPDATE ::  You may still be able to find the release somewhere in the Mystical web of wonder that is www.dubsahara.com. The layers of mystic cloudshapes that obscure the known from the unknown continue to revel in self-reflexive enigma.  No doubt the universe has its own plan and shall manifest accordingly.
