Sadhana: An Ethno-Ambient Journey into Oneness

Stunning in its sensuality and lush with ethereal and earthy rhythms, Sadhana beckons listeners to hear their walls dissolve into an ecstatic awareness of the largeness of life. Here, Dutch keyboardist and composer Maneesh de Moor gathers a circle of musicians from around the globe for ten tracks of ethno-ambient chill/world, meant to serve as "an aphrodisiac to the soul." Trained as a classical pianist, Maneesh has taken his mastery of sound-synthesis and infused it with the sounds of nature — birdsong, flowing water, crickets in a nighttime soundscape, and the human voice to evoke Sadhana: a contemporary tribute to the spiritual life of devotion and meditation. A former collaborator with Deva Premal, Miten, Sudha, and Prem Joshua, Maneesh de Moor now ventures off to create a sublime and devotional sound all his own. The music on this CD came through from the Beyond, guided by Spirit.
