Dear readers, friends, sisters & brothers

This is a call to action for all makers of fine music

Many years back when I studied the art of counterpoint, my teacher told me that it has been always the music starting the movement for change. He said it’s first music, then fashion, then education which ultimately leads society to move along with it. Having not fully understood the momentum he was referring to, I did learn that music has an immense influence.

How could music be so influential?

There are two obvious reasons:

First, music taps into the grand energy of emotions. In our hands and with that understood, it becomes merely a tool for manipulation and indeed that is one legitimate aspect of music, it stages our feelings through creating a mood.

Second, music/sound is vibration, naturally it interacts with everything also based on vibration which is everything. Nada Brahma (the world is sound).
Here, the informed as well the uninformed music maker taps into nearly any frequency, amplifies, diminishes or distorts it, echoes it, repeats or reverses it, just to name a few. Since there is no getting away from music, it is, when made, a mighty tool itself.

Now that we are experiencing another rising urge for change worldwide and humans are beginning to look into new ways of developing sustainable societies, it becomes inevitable for us music makers to take on the responsibility which comes along with the unbelievable gift of being able to do so.
We have to accept our part and wisely take the lead to help tune this symphony to sound to its fullest positive potential.

How could it be done?

Frankly, I don’t know. I feel this goes beyond my ability as being only one soul.
How could I possibly cover all upcoming aspects, ideas and necessities and put them into reality without making big mistakes, and worse, without falling prey to my own ego?
Always asking my heart about my intentions, the truth is I wouldn’t be able to do this on my own, but I feel it is time to share my visions and to invite you to co-create and participate in a project, challenging anybody who wishes their gifts to be used for the well-being of all.

The Nada Brahma Project

(So let me share my basic ideas. Otherwise the score is blank, waiting to be instrumented, composed, arranged and carefully nurtured by us)

The Nada Brahma Project intends to:

- become aware of the various powers of music, choose carefully and put them to
work where it is suitable and necessary

- create and perform positive vibrating music, emerging above the individual source

- fine-tune into the natural frequencies of balance and healing, helping to
equalize the various energies and tensions on earth and the universe (if that’s
desired)

- educate ourselves, for it is we who will educate and open the path for others and
future generations

- help humankind to raise their awareness and vibration

- ease the pain and lighten the path into the unknown

- integrate other suppliers of fine music such as scientists and music healers
working on similar solutions, makers of fine instruments, sound engineers and
other individuals providing suitable environments and technology

We are warriors of a necessary cause, clearing the path for the inevitable movement of change.

We are open and transparent and have no more right of truth other than our heart tells us, in all its proceeding development.

We are finding ways to sustain our personal life needs, compensating this kind of service to a broad audience. This will ask a lot from potential listeners, we appreciate and honor their input on this level, not to exhaust their resources unnecessarily.

We are no band or established circle in the means of building a career, but we are a band of co-creative fine music makers. There is no leader and no one to be lead.

We do not seek fame and contracts, for we must be free of interests other than ethics concerning the future of the well-being of all and spiritual truth

We are not trying to deliver a finished product, rather we are open to abolish previous ways of thinking and to develop new techniques

This project is international, there is no need to be based in a certain place. Like seeds we are scattering in the wind, it will grow independently where it lands on nursing ground.

We are responsible for what we do, for the world is sound – Nada Brahma.

We play, sing, speak and live from our heart and use our mind to do so.

We are that we are.

Here is our turning point, the time is now

I’m looking forward to creating with you
