Born in Brazil, Hyanna has lived in NYC for a decade, sharpening her ear for music on the streets of the city and its underground dance floors. Her love for music of all kinds started as a child, digging for interesting sounds on early online discussion forums and the vast collections of family members. Hyanna’s passions for music, dancing and history coalesced into her present work as a DJ, sound system tech and record store clerk. She intends to share emotion through sound by playing dance music, world, jazz, disco and whatever moves her spirit.

Constellations over Ice Bergs (prod. Zamaxx)

Circles of Air
[Verse]
Round and round the silence flows
Underneath where no one knows
Breath becomes the wind again
Time dissolves — we don’t remain

[Chorus]
Circles of air turning slow
Where the shadows lean and grow
Whispers rise
They come and go
Circles of air
All we know

[Verse 2]
Footprints fade on shifting ground
Echoes hum without a sound
A thousand stars will fall unseen
Lost inside this in-between

[Chorus]
Circles of air turning slow
Where the shadows lean and grow
Whispers rise
They come and go
Circles of air
All we know

[Bridge]
No straight lines
No edges clear
The world bends soft when you are near
I close my eyes
The circle's here
And all I feel is disappear

[Chorus]
Circles of air turning slow
Where the shadows lean and grow
Whispers rise
They come and go
Circles of air
All we know

Circles of Air

All Mantra All Beginning - To Primordial Sound

excerpt from the transcript translated into English:

"Om is therefore a mantra, Amen is a mantra. And, if the world is sound, and if this sound—the world itself—is ultimately unreachable for us mortal humans on a rational level, then we need reflections, symbols, parables of the primordial sound. Not least so that we can make ourselves understood, both to ourselves and to others."

//

Primordial sound refers to the original, eternal, and unstruck cosmic vibration underlying all existence. It is often described as timeless, beginningless, and endless—a sacred universal frequency sometimes identified with the sound "Om" or "Aum." This sound is considered the source from which all creation and sounds emerge. In various spiritual traditions, like Hinduism and Taoism, primordial sound represents a foundational vibration of the universe that connects all life and existence beyond the physical realm.

Om represents not only the cosmic sound but also the very process where breath (life force) turns into sound (word), connecting spiritual energy and expression. This is why sacred traditions emphasize chanting Om as both a meditative and creative practice, harmonizing body, breath, and spirit.​

​Thus, Om is the symbolic "location" or moment where breath becomes word, merging the invisible force of life with its audible expression.

Regarding original sound concepts like "Om" or "Amen," these are seen as human attempts to replicate or invoke the primordial sound—the sound from which breath becomes word and creation arises. "Om" especially is regarded in Vedic tradition as this original cosmic vibration encompassing all sounds and existence.

Joachim Ernst Berendt was a visionary German music journalist, author, and producer best known for bridging the worlds of jazz and spiritual sound. His groundbreaking book, The Jazz Book, became an authoritative global reference on jazz, influencing listeners and musicians for generations. However, Berendt reached even wider audiences with his exploration of the metaphysics of sound, especially through his seminal work Nada Brahma: Die Welt ist Klang (The World Is Sound).

Crucially, Nada Brahma was not just a book: Berendt himself narrated and produced powerful audio versions of this material. Originally created as radio broadcasts, these recordings featured his narration interwoven with evocative music and soundscapes, bringing his ideas to life for listeners. Available on cassette (K7), CD, and later streaming and digital download, the audio releases—including "Die Welt ist Klang – Nada Brahma"—last several hours and are celebrated for making his philosophical vision accessible and immersive to a new generation. 

Berendt’s Nada Brahma series investigates the principle that the world is sound, blending spiritual traditions, science, and world music. His work offered listeners—and especially young audiences, thanks to these audio sessions—a profound experience of sound as the origin and essence of reality, demonstrating how attentive listening connects us to universal harmony.

The book "Nada Brahma: Die Welt ist Klang" by Joachim Ernst Berendt was first published in 1983. The original audio version was created as a two-part radio feature, first broadcast by Südwestfunk in Germany on November 28, 1981, reaching a wide audience and later leading to the publication of the book. The audio versions were subsequently released on cassette (K7) in the 1980s and later on CD and digital formats.

Joachim-Ernst Berendt (July 20, 1922 in Berlin – February 4, 2000 in Hamburg)

::
I am infinitely grateful that his work reached me on cassette tape in my youth.
