In our time, where music is an evident consumer product, it is important to remember that it was not always like this. On the other hand , music always had a place close to the noble values, highly idealistic views, aspirations and feelings. In the ancestral wisdom and more especially in the Orient, there is a profound relationship between music, spirituality, mysticism and inner growth. This music is not conceived as a simple entertainment or as a form of exhibition or demonstration by artists, but as a way of expressing through the sound the immaterial side in all of us.
For a musician it is a challenge to grow and mature as a human being, as the music we create, compose and play, is a faithful mirror of ourselves. When we play, we express what we are and we show our soul. It is when we create or play, converting music into meditation, when the ego disappears and we disidentify of all daily tangle of thoughts, fears and expectations, leaving an emptiness where a music can arise, that is much more pure and authentic.
Yoga Music Experience is the simple idea of sharing that experience. It is Music that is born from the personal freedom, free from rigid patterns, labels, predefined styles, prejudices as well as need of approval and fearless. This is when music emerges to express through sound what words cannot explain, arising something really new and authentic, with a great capacity to move emotionally the listener and the interpreter. Then the music becomes healing, energy and love. Yoga Music Experience is sharing with others the musical experience born from this state of consciousness . With this experience, the role of the listener has the same importance as the musicians and artists who participate. YOU are an active part of this project.
So we invite you to join this idea of feeling and experiencing music differently. It is a journey to your interior and a path to personal growth. Let your heart grow with the melodies, harmonies and rhythms that are born from the depths of our being.
