Metta

A rejuvenating sound massage for body, mind and spirit with acoustic instruments.The five elements are represented by corresponding instruments and themes, combined with nature recordings and sounds of the elements produced in the studio.
In "Water" the sound of the sansa melts into the stream of the monochord and we imagine drifting down a warm rainy river.
In "Fire" the sitar portrays Raga Malkoush, which is a very energetic and peaceful raga associated with a meditation of Lord Shiva.
The exchanges of melodies between the bansuri and the sitar evoke the ever-flowing and ever-changing qualities of "Wind".
The transcendental sound of the sansa together with the singing-bowl and cymbals express the image of the soundless element "Ether".
With "Earth" come back down and get rooted through the sound of the Australian didjeridoo, the Buddhist mantra, the Amerindian framedrum and a Bengali folk theme elaborated on the sitar.
