Lyrics:
Blessed we are to dance on this ground
With the rhythm of saints to carry the sound
We hold a prayer for the Earth, for the ones yet to come
May you walk in Beauty and remember your song.

Blessed we are to dance on this ground
With the rhythm of saints to carry the sound
We hold a pray for all Life, for the days yet to come
May you walk in Beauty and remember your soul.

Remember why you came here
Remember your life is sacred.
Remember why you came here
Remember this life is sacred.

A ya ye ya ye ya ye yo (4X)



Blessed we are (Peia cover)

The In Between

The In Between (7:49-8:03 PM), Pt. II

original music, Native American style flutes, Chinese guzheng, glockenspiel

Dear Children, We Do Know What We Do, Forgive Us

This song is in Quechua (the people’s language spoken mainly in the Andes region of South America). I first heard the language when learning about Shamanism from the Q’eros of Peru in 2012. This song uses words that the Shamans use when calling upon energies to open sacred spaces. They use animals to symbolise directions and chakras and call upon the snake (south), the jaguar (west), the hummingbird (north), the eagle (east), mother earth and father sky (masculine and feminine polarities). 
I wrote the melody staring at a fire one late night and then added the words later, inspired greatly by the wisdom of the ancient Inca knowledge.
In 2015 I had the great pleasure of travelling to Peru to work with the Shamans, record this video and learn more about the simple ways of this ancient science.

This song is tuned in 432Hz which therefore means that it is mathematically consistent with the universe. The ancient bells from Peru used in this track were already tuned to this frequency and so we therefore tuned all the other instruments to match the 432Hz tuning. Music that is tuned in 432Hz transmits healing energy because it is in exact mathematical frequency and vibration to the universe, as opposed to the 440Hz frequency tuning that is most commonly used today. Music therefore tuned in 432Hz frequency is known to be more relaxing, healing and softer for the human being. It is known therefore for it's healing qualities.

Esta canción es en quechua (la lengua que se habla en Perú, principalmente en la región andina de América del Sur). La escuché por primera vez cuando aprendía  chamanismo Q'eros en Perú en 2012. Esta canción usa palabras que los chamanes utilizan al convocar energías para abrir espacios sagrados. Ellos usan animales para simbolizar las direcciones, los chakras y el llamado a la serpiente (sur), el jaguar (oeste), el colibrí (norte), el águila (este), la madre tierra y el cielo padre (polaridades masculino y femenino).
Escribí la melodía mirando al fuego tarde en la noche y añadí la letra más tarde, muy inspirada en la antigua sabiduría inca.
En 2015 tuve el gran placer de viajar a Perú para trabajar con los chamanes, grabar este vídeo y aprender más acerca de las formas simples de esta antigua ciencia.


Esta canción está sintonizada a 432Hz. Esto significa que es matemáticamente consistente con el universo. Las antiguas campanas de Perú utilizadas en esta pista ya estaban sintonizadas a esta frecuencia, por lo cual sintonizamos todos los otros instrumentos para que coincidieran con la afinación en 432Hz. La música que se sintoniza a frecuencia transmite energía curativa, porque como vibra en una frecuencia matemática exacta, vibra con el universo, a diferencia de la sintonización en 440Hz, más comúnmente utilizada en la actualidad. Por lo tanto, la música  sintonizada en esta frequencia 432Hz parece ser más relajante, curativa y más suave para el ser humano; es conocida por sus cualidades sanadoras.

Opening track of the latest album Sevati 

Har Ji

This song is a prayer for us to remember our true nature that is infinite, beyond time and space. A prayer for us to remember that there is nothing to heal, only to remember our perfection, our divinity. A prayer for the dissolution of the illusion of separation and the return to oneness.

Many of my songs include a mantra with lyrics in english that are my interpretation of the essence of the mantra.  This song includes a mantra in Gurmukhi which is the language of the Sikh and the Kundalini Yoga lineage - Aad Guray Nameh, Jugaad Guray Nameh, Sat Guray Nameh, Siri Guru Dayvay Nameh. The English meaning of this mantra is - I bow to the Primal Wisdom, I bow to the Wisdom through the Ages, I bow to the True Wisdom, I bow to the great, unseen Wisdom.

This mantra is pure magic - I was doing a 40 day journey with this mantra at the time I conceived my son Kavi, around 12 years ago.  We would rise to watch the sunrise over the ocean in Maui while chanting the mantra every morning for 40 days and over that time so much magic came into my life! I pray that it brings some magic into your life :)

05 Momento presente, momento sagrado.

(composed by Adrian Freedman & Amir Paiss)
Amir Paiss – santur
Adrian Freedman – shakuhachi
Recorded live in Mullumbimby, Byron Bay, Australia 
Recording date February 2018

In February 2018 I travelled to Australia for the first time, where I met a sweet soul, a fellow musical traveller, by the name of Amir Paiss. Amir plays the Persian santur and he was co- founder of the internationally acclaimed Hebrew-Arab world music ensemble SHEVA.
Amir and I played an impromptu evening of music together at a house concert in Byron, then a few days later we decided to meet late at night to make an outdoor recording, taking advantage of the balmy, warm evening. We set up some mics in Amir’s beautiful hillside garden under a starry sky. There was no audience - just the moon, the stillness of the trees and the sounds of the night ...the chirupping of the insects in the background adding another dimension as they seem to weave into the music. We played deep into the night, and from those recordings come these two tracks River of Stars and Isra, which is a Sufi term for the supersensible inter-dimensional travel by night.

Dedication:
Recently a friend of ours, still a teenager, dies under tragic circumstances. This has caused shockwaves through our extended community. His mother is a very dear friend of ours, and she in turn is deeply beloved by many as a wise and compassionate woman. In the midst of this tragedy I'd like to dedicate the piece 'River of Stars' for Arro, Fiona, Aloha and all those in need of some stillness and peace in this dark night of the soul.

River Of Stars (dedicated to Arro, Fiona, Aloha)

Captive, Elevating and Relaxing; ancient mantras with catchy riffs and soothing vocals.

'The Joy of Sadhana' is a collection of traditional mantras used for Aquarian Sadhana; a Kundalini Yoga morning practice.Whether the listener knows the mantras or not, this album will have you singing along in no time. Alexia, singer/songwriter and Kundalini Yoga teacher, produces and composes the music for this fantastic album and her captivating voice creates a relaxed elevating atmosphere. 
All the tracks were recorded in a live studio setting and the vibe captured is an illustration of the exquisite and culturally diverse nature of all the musicians involved. Together with Olmo Cassibba, Pedro Misle and Lucas Masciano they create an exceptional collection of mantras both devotional and enjoyable. 


Sat Siri, Siri Akaal

Heartfelt music full of subtle dynamics conjuring an atmosphere of rarefied peace, with a deeply healing sense of spaciousness, pristine clarity and delicate beauty. The scope of  the music is diverse, while retaining an ineffable sense of the sacred throughout.
