Description:
Whenever we listen
The voices of nature 
Are whispering.
In the winds
In the water
In the ground
In the sunlight

They livingly
Voice echoes
Beyond thoughts
Lifes of sensations
The blessings of now
Experiences remembering 
the calls inside being
Nature is a feeling

This is a tribute to Nature

Ishtadi means purification of the senses in Sanskrit; 
The prerequisite of being absorbed in presence. 

Ishtadi intricately conjures interweaving sound textures, in-formation of electronic productions made from his field recordings of nature, samples and live instruments like didgeridoo, ngoni, drums and spirit flute.
Internalising journeys inviting the body and mind to slow down while focusing the brainwave frequencies, helping the listener to easily dive deep - into the now.   

The last years Ishtadi has performed infront of crowds up 60.000 people, been on Indian National TV, Wake Stage at Distortion CPH and featured on several festivals in Denmark, Germany and India.

Ishtadi - The Wind Of Lights (Short Edit)

VibroAcoustics Sound Massage | Ishtadi - Open Skies

Imagine steadfastly entering inside the great big green.
The rustling, swaying in the wind, bouncing living organism.
A sea of green bushes, tress and flowers dazzled with living gems og animals, birds and singing owls.
Special creatures that like us humans embark into the territory of sound, frequency and resonance, meeting together in a tapestry of relations.
The forest becomes alive, yet quiet, muffled and slow as we ascend with the sun, slowly rising behind the dense foilage.


○ ○ ○
VibroAcoustics Sound Massage is a pioneering vibrotactile sub-sonic sound experience. It's experienced on a VibroAcoustics Bass Floor, that stimulates the vagus nerve, and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, allowing us to enter the optimal states of relaxation. The music aim to slow the brainwave activity down to where thoughts increasingly become one with the moment, and where we find ourselves in between sleeping, dreaming and wakeful states of being.

The music uses a combined modality of electronic music, sound therapy and nature-based field recordings, together with samples and recordings of acoustic instruments like gongs, singing bowls, bells, harps, flutes and didgeridoos.

The sounds echo our relationship to nature. Triggered by the genetic and cultural response to sounds and music, the music produced for VSM acts as an invitation to enter back to the natural state of being. Simply by listening, we enter a meditative journey into the far-away lands of ourselves, so close inside.

Collecting soundscapes around the world, Ishtadi orchestrates the sounds of nature into powerful and soothing musical landscapes. Combining field-recordings with electronic synthesis, organic rhythms, harmonies and symphonies evolve, awakening our genetically imprinted emotions, hidden somewhere deep inside ourselves. He invites us to experience fully immersive body and mind journeys, moving between the dense depths of the unconscious, to the realms of light and tranquility.

Ishtadi - Voices of Nature vol. II

Life an experience
Nature the landscape
the vehicle that holds 
like water in a bowl
the fetus in a womb
We are listening 
Tuning to sensing

A frequency of Nature
being of alpha waves
Breathing in
Breathing out
Pulses meeting
Heartbeats beating
Together we are beings

ishtadi - hello strange podcast #497

The Earth it Resonates
By standing Waves 
Schumans Measurements
Wavelengths Circumference 
From the conductive ionosphere
Electromagnetic pulses to here
Down at 7.83hz all living meet
and together breathe.

Tuning to the alpha mode
An active yet relaxing code
Frequency shifts of coreference
by auto-motorical reference
We re-remember the presence
of where we actually came
to there we will go the same
drawing the last breath
remembering it's the name.

This is a tribute to Nature

Earth & Sky Rituals

As the night becomes late, before the sun arise, a special time is appointed by physics. It's described in religions as the time of the gods.
The time of the dreamers.
This mix is a dedication to falling deep down the rabbit hole, the tunnels of the night, the passion and vibrations that control.
Until the sun suddenly is about to glow like a galactic ember.

The set was recorded in these hours of new year 2022.
Unfortunately the recording was lost, so Ishtadi re-entered the hours.

Our releases

ishtadi - hello strange podcast #557

Ending the day, from the ocean of thoughts, our soul slowly sails towards the shores of dreams.
The land from which all dimensions exist in parallel, deeply tied together by memories and impressions.
Weaving through these threads of multiplicity until the loom cross sections all time lines, upon the very edge of time, 
And to finally surrender into the sleeping, vast void of everything.

Recorded Live at our Nature Tales & VibroAcoustics  “12 Hours Without Words” sleep concert collaboration with the youth church venue Ukirke.

Ishtadi - Water Calls Pt. II Ft. Skyfahl (Live Set, Somewhere Festival 17)

The #1 version of;
Intrinsic Immersions

Emerges from the unfathomably deep depths, 
Rising high into the skies, touching the very mountain peaks of vibration covered with shining snow. 
Like an eagle, moving through the landscapes perhaps at dawn, 
guided by the sound of life, watching the light go by.
Immersive yourself in the sounds of nature, mixed live along with slow chants.

It was recorded at Nature Tales - Yoga & Deep Chill Out events, CPH, December 5.18.
During the last 45 m. participants casually relax chilling out, after the yoga class - immersed in music, they are taking in, the intrinsic experience of community relaxation.


Intrinsic Immersions 
Is a project connecting the human psyche with the aural imprints of nature left in the gene code of humanity.
Ishtadi mixes his recordings of nature live, creating an evolutionary journey through real landscapes, orchestrated into a mystical and unique experience.
It allows for the listener to release into a space designed for retuning to ones personal nature.

Ishtadi - Intrinsic Immersions #1

For our Nature Tales Mix #3 Ishtadi delivers a warm-hot cauldron of tasty sounds!
Taking roots in various ancient cultures & heritages combined with modern electronic powers, the mixture awakens the mind while the body loosens up.
Release yourself into this deep and heart touching journey, allowing for the emotions to stream and for the peace to enter into being.

The set was recorded in Dec. during our monthly 
Cacao & Concert event.

Nature Tales Mix #3: Ishtadi - Traditional Bounce

Together with Muumimaa Collective we wen't back to our ancestral mummin home - Finland.
Collaborating with the underground Club @alppila-ug, transforming it into a colorful muumin lair in the dark corners of Helsinki.
Ishtadi opened the "white room", with a shamanistic nature based live set, mixing in tibetan chants and finally - hitting it with an upwards rising DJ set with nature sounds dancing through the depths, gritty powerful surfaces and saw-synths to an ending of sweet grooves.

Ishtadi Mixes - Shamans Dance - Opening Live & DJ Set /Muumimaa on the Road; Helsinki

I have a weakness, for epic dancefloors.
Perhaps that is why our Nature Tales  cultural productions,
often are whole day events with yoga, acroyoga, dance workshops and cacao ceremonies.
When we feel comfortable and safe, that's when we dare to dance!
And what a dance on that F1 system!

This was the first time we hosted Ecstatic Dance in an open, mainstream venue calling quite the attention.

Ishtadi Mixes - Ecstatic Dance Session #2 @ CPH Street Food - Reffen

Starting with quite a downpour, the air and minds of us was cleansed.
We danced ourselves into a meditative yet continuesly rising ecstatic flow, moving with the valleys and mountains of the present moment, held together by the awe of great music.

And what a place!
The Burner community is expanding it's territory, now roaming over the Naturalist Associations Camping Café, a green Paradise 30m outside Copenhagen.

As dancing barefoot outside is the real dancing, we're planning a series Nature Tales & Café Tys Tys productions to come!
(Picture from our Nature Tales Festival at Makvärket, Nov 19)

Stay tuned for more Tuesday Mixes!

Ishtadi Mixes - Ecstatic Dance Sessions #3 @ Café Tys Tys 11.7.20

To Dance, before we must Be

Therefor our Nature Tales crew,  makes sure, that each participant feels welcome, warm and invited to be present. 
A dancefloor, where we already are familiar with eachother and with ourselves.
We honor those sacred moments, to be, before we dance.

This day had been intensely full of the Extreme Wellness activities Ice bathing, Sauna, Wim Hof Breathing, various Performances, and finishing with our Cacao Ceremony, culminating in Ecstatic Dance.
Young to Old - we Danced, under the Stars, with the Fiery Flames and safe Sounds of Birds, coming through the Forest.

The music dived into all sorts of directions, yet keeping a clear red line, in the form of African chants and Deep Bassful House and Techno!

Thank you Nature, for the continues inspiration as how to feel... Natural.

Ishtadi Mixes - Ecstatic Dance Sessions #4 @ Værkeriet 18.7.20

Our annual nordic Burn - Borderland, situated 30m drive out of Copenhagen, was cancelled.
Instead, many beautiful small burning gatherings fawned out in the forests, on islands and on boats, synchronizing our Burning Ceremony.
We we're housed at our friends from Café Tys Tys, in the lovely paradisical garden.

Besides work I found time to zoom into the burning vibrations, invited by the biggest camp of Borderland - (re)connect - to reconnect with them since our Vesica Project vibroacoustic sound installation last Borderland edition.
I found myself on vacation, cozy playing a few sets and during this one - found my way into the rum, dub, techno and fun(k), celebrating the last night and back to the Nature Tales flow.

Ishtadi Mixes - Fun(k), Techno & Dub @ (re)connect 26.7.20

Ishtadi means purification of the senses in Sanskrit;
The prerequisite of being absorbed in presence.

Performing live, Ishtadi conjures intricately interweaving sound textures, in the form of electronic productions made from his recordings of nature, real instruments and places, meanwhile playing ancient instruments like Didgeridoo, Ngoni, Drums and Spirit Flute.
It’s a unique improvised journey inviting the body and mind to enter slower brainwave frequencies, allowing for the listener easily to dive deep - into the now.

"At Move Copenhagen Festival it's about moving.  But sometimes we need to relax too.
Finishing the workshops before lunch, our Nature Tales Chill Out tent got crowded with people on top of eachother, taking that moment.
Integrating and digesting.
It seemed like the air was thick like butter, sparkles flying around and the sun shining bright. I don’t know where exactly I went, when playing the Ngoni, but somewhere beyond indeed."

Nature Tales Live Set #16: Ishtadi - Moving Souls @ Move Copenhagen 2019

When the world is locked down
The sounds of the underground 
still echoes

Ishtadi Mixes - Communion (Deep Techno)

I see Ecstatic Dance as way to allow dancing and music to become a journey.
A journey into ones body, mind and being. Constantly discovering and rediscovering, what it means to be alive, by experiencing oneself.
With this mindful listening approach, the mixes become eventful stories, sharing perceptions of new dimensions, bringing fertile energy to life, expressed through the dance.

As a music collector and DJ, the doors of possibilties within this movement, are incredible open, as long as we maintain vigilant awareness of the sustainability of the human body.
Thus the music becomes a massage, venturing through valleys and mountain peaks, challenging the body before suddenly allowing complete release from the mind.

This journey became a meditation through ambient landscapes for the warm up workshop, welcoming glitchy dub, before entering a dimension of incredibly big and powerfully sounds, funky grooves, and deeply echoing sirens.

Ishtadi Mixes - Ecstatic Dance #6 @ ArtLantis 28.9.20

Water Calls Pt. III

Enter a journey of nature recordings from the danish autumn rains, wintery ice lakes, Israeli streams, forest winds and Irish cave drops,
an ambient soul soothing world unfolds, performed live together with the African harp - the Ngoni and the North American traditional double flute.
It was the first series of Nature / Field Recording based electronic live sets I did.

This Set was recorded in 2019.
It's the final third of the Water Calls series, concluding into the depths of the ice.

Ishtadi - Water Calls pt. III (Live @ Thor & Samanthas Wedding)

Driving Deep
Deep into Techno, Dub Techno & Ambient Atmoshpheres,
A driving and pumping journey of beats, bass and being.

Driving ourselves deeper and further,
we move through the darkness
and into the light.

Our organic motors are
pumping, jumping, breathing and 
all the heart's beating.
Let this journey drive you up, down and deep inside.



Mixed w/ Traktor 3. & Nature Sounds & Beats w/ Ableton Live.
Recorded at Eclectic Resonance

Ishtadi Mixes - Driving Deep @ Eclectic Resonance

Celebrating with the Nature Tales family and Burn Community,
we danced into 2021.

With just 2 handfuls of dedicated people, we we're enough charged energy
to leap into the new year.
Jumping, bouncing, dancing and hugging we merged ourselves together into this flow of presence, aligning visions and flows.

Rarely have i been so ingrossed in attempting, to continuesly bring up the energy, as it kept streaming upwards and onwards.

This dance is for those who  - likes to seriously celebrate and feel good.
It's not just for fun, it's also for the funk.

Ishtadi Mixes - The New Year Funk - 2020-2021
