Sol Vibrationum
The entire Sun vibrations are from a complex pattern of acoustical waves. The Sun's sound waves are normally at frequencies too low for the human ear to hear. To be able to hear them, the scientists sped up the waves 42,000 times -- and compressed 40 days of vibrations into a few seconds to reveal The Sound of OM.

AUM - OM
In the beginning there was only primordial vibration.  These vibrations articulated into sound - a sound of one syllable but consisting of three phonemes.   This original vibration was, is, always shall be Aum.   

Aum's meaning is a paradox of simplicity, complexity - infinite, finite -  shapeless, formed - inexpressible, tangible.

Om Sol Vibrationum Aum

Prism of Paradise’  - a musical experience of the captured moment, from a journey of a lifetime of regular disciplined learning and practice. 
Ali Mora Sanga (My friend be with me) - original lyrics and vocals by Malyaban

By the expression of unique emotions and energy into this music, each Raga becomes a momentary precious jewel, a spectrum of colour that can never be experienced again.  Only to know the sincere effort of the heart so that the lingering experience lives in the soul eternally.

Dedicated to the greatness of Shakespeare (23rd April 1564 -April 23rd 1616), aged 52 years as we move toward his 400 years death anniversary on 23rd April 2016

In honour of this, we have been  creating music to his words of Sonnets.  If you would like to contribute your music MP3 please contact us.  

We present a pioneering series of New music which blends the melody of Raga Gorakh Kalyan with the eternal words of Shakespeare's Sonnet  20 (part 1)

SONNET 20 PARAPHRASE 
A woman's face with Nature's own hand painted 
(A woman's face, colored by Nature's own hand)
 
Hast thou, the master-mistress of my passion; 
(Have you, the master-mistress of my desire); 

A woman's gentle heart, but not acquainted 
(You have a woman's gentle heart, but you are not prone)
 
With shifting change, as is false women's fashion; 
(To fickle change, as is the way with women); 

An eye more bright than theirs, less false in rolling, 
(You have eyes brighter than their eyes, and more sincere), 
Gilding the object whereupon it gazeth; 
(Lighting up the very object that they look upon); 

A man in hue, all 'hues' in his controlling, 
(You are a man in shape and form, and all men are in your control), 
Much steals men's eyes and women's souls amazeth. 
(You catch the attention of men and amaze women's souls [hearts]. 

And for a woman wert thou first created; 
(You were originally intended to be a woman); 

Till Nature, as she wrought thee, fell a-doting, 
(Until Nature, as she made you, showed excessive fondness)

 And by addition me of thee defeated,
 (And, by adding one extra thing, [Nature] defeated me), 

By adding one thing to my purpose nothing. 
(By adding one thing she has prevented me from fully having you,) 

But since she prick'd thee out for women's pleasure, 
(But since Nature equipped you for women's pleasure), 

Mine be thy love and thy love's use their treasure. 
(Let your body be their treasure, and let me have your love).

Sonnet 15
When I consider every thing that grows
Holds in perfection but a little moment,
That this huge stage presenteth nought but shows
Whereon the stars in secret influence comment;
When I perceive that men as plants increase,
Cheered and check'd even by the self-same sky,
Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease,
And wear their brave state out of memory;
Then the conceit of this inconstant stay
Sets you most rich in youth before my sight,
Where wasteful Time debateth with Decay,
To change your day of youth to sullied night;
And all in war with Time for love of you,
As he takes from you, I engraft you new.

And All in War (part) - Sonnet 15 in Raga Darbari
