An Offering - Paulo Vinícius, Koushik Aithal and Shakthidhar Iyer

An Offering is a devotional body of songs recorded in New York state in August 2019 and performed by: Vocal - Koushik Aithal Guitar - Paulo Vinícius Bansuri - Shakthidhar Iyer The three musicians came together at the Nirmal Arts Academy in Canajohare, New York 2019. One evening they spontaneously recorded this collection of meditative renditions of various raags, each guiding the listener to meditate upon a particular mood. The titles given to each piece are inspired by the attributes of the deities residing in each chakra. The ultimate ambition of the project is to allow the listener to connect deep within herself/himself to attain a meditative state of thoughtless awareness. The trio aim to record again this coming January 2020 to expand upon this brief yet deeply inspired musical meeting. * The poetry was written by Anjan Upadhya, music composed by Shakthidhar, Koushik Aithal and Paulo Vinícius. * Recorded by Anjan Upadhya and Shakthidhar in Canajoharie - New York.
