Faran Ensemble is a three player group, who joined each other in a
spiritual quest, expressed in music and sounds. It has been years now that
these players have deeply engaged themselves in studying the musical
instruments and the theory of music with the best teachers in the country
and abroad.

The instruments played originate from esoteric and ancient traditions of
the East.
KAMANTCHE is an ancient musical instrument whose origins are
rooted in Azerbaijan.
OUD, one of the most ancient string instruments, is found anywhere it is
customary to have very strong and dark tea in a small cup.
The Percussion which have been in use since the first human heartbeat.

The ensemble members grew up and come from different places,
backgrounds and sceneries. From the very dry desert to the luscious green
through the hectic noisy city sounds. The composed works reflect all of
these as they were composed together by the four ensemble members.
Both the composition-works and the musicians are deeply influenced by
the Eastern musical system called 'Maqam' .
Maqam in translation means all at once a physical place in the musical scale,
the fingers' placing on the strings and the melody which expresses this.
But more than that, 'Maqam' refers to a meditative place. A state that the
player must be attended so the music will be played as it should be.
In ancient cultures each Maqam has its own particular hour in the day,
season and a specific ceremonial connection.

Faran, is a dry desert wadi, which fills with water and life only in rainy
winters; and in the hot season, otherwise silent. It crosses Israel on its
way from Sinai, ignoring all borders.

Music for us is a journey.

Reflection

Adionai is a Singer-Songwriter, Multi-Faceted Musician, Writer/Poet, DJ and Transformational Facilitator born in Jerusalem, Israel and living in the California Bay Area.

Between performing his unique flavor of Alternative Medicine Music, holding space at Ecstatic Dances, or guiding souls into embodiment through Meditative Movement Journeys- he weaves through festivals and events amidst the west coast’s rising conscious culture with palpable intentions for humanity's freedom into soul sovereignty and collective unification. 

While growing up feeling estranged and unable to truly express his spirit in this world, music was the only thing that truly made sense, as it soon started to channel through the veils of his soul suppression, hand-in-hand with the massive mystic openings that would reveal his purpose on earth being to guide listeners back to their hearts through this Music as a primary medium. 

Spiraling through everything from Rap, to Electronic, to Indie Rock, to Medicine Music, to Improvised Light Language; Adionai is a true voice for spirit, transmitting raw feeling from the depths of the collective soul via hypnotic melodies and authentically awake lyrics to weave dimensions and unveil bridges to an Earth wherein every part of us is and always has been held as a vital, sacred, and celebrated part of the greater love song of our shared human story.
