I am a lifelong composer of music.
For more than 25 years I’ve created music for meditation and inner journeys - blending piano, orchestral instruments, and organic synthesizers into immersive soundscapes.
🎶 “I think of it as painting sound in real time.”
Everything I play comes from feeling in the moment. My primary instrument is the piano, but I play many instruments, live orchestral textures, organic synthesizers, and atmospheric tones, to create a musical landscape that opens inner vision and calms the nervous system.
I think of it as painting sound in real time: each color unfolding with the energy of the moment.
This year I spent six months in the Himalayas of India.
I went as a pilgrimage, to live among mountains, temples, and ashrams where people have prayed for thousands of years. Every day felt like stepping into a living soundscape:
•🌅 Morning puja bells and mantras rising with the sun
•🦅 Eagles calling overhead as I sat in meditation
•🙏 Priests chanting in stone temples
•🌸 Priestesses singing in caves
•🌊 The river Ganga rushing, carrying her eternal song
•🔥 Fire ceremonies glowing, conch shells resounding at dusk
•🌧️ Monsoon rains washing courtyards while monkeys leapt between rooftops
I carried microphones and instruments with me, not as a tourist, but as a pilgrim gathering treasures. I sketched melodies from meditation, recorded the voices of the landscape, and layered them with piano, orchestral sounds, and organic synthesizers.
✨ It felt like a return home — to something that has always lived within me.
