Mystics have always used sound in ways far beyond the realm of mere entertainment - by breathing in an ethereal dimension into simple rustic sounds from life around to give us a taste of the beyond. A simple twang of the ektara often did what a thousand words could not do to touch people.

Sounds of Isha is Sadhguru's own home grown, anomalous group of 'musicians' - inspired by their deep yearning and sense of gratitude. Dabbling with and melting into their instruments, their work is a subtle fusion of the rich and diverse beings that they are. The group members are full-time volunteers with Isha Foundation, living a life of dedication and austerity; thus, their inspirational songs are usually created after a full day's activity, due to their passion and zest to share a different dimension of the foundation's work.

Their melodies are a fusion of music from different parts of the world - traversing effortlessly and seamlessly across boundaries and cultures. Whilst the music of these songs sooth our minds and the melodies enthrall us, the true potential of the songs is in their capability to instill in us an element of the eternal silence that touches the core of the human being. The performances of Sounds of Isha are set apart to deliver a potent and intoxicating ethereal concoction, transporting those who listen into subtler states of being - becoming the basis for inner exploration.

Storytelling has been an artery of Sharmeen/Sifar’s practice for the last 18 years. She has used various mediums to communicate her thoughts and styles, with video being her oft-used tool.
She puts her camerawork and editing skills towards collaborating with the artistic community in Singapore in hopes of visually presenting lesser-known truths.
Topics of social urgencies, such as natural history and overlooked societal lived experiences are a driving force for her to coalesce and present her current works.
Her latest endeavours are organising a long-term community engagement program with Freedom Film Festival Singapore, and a collaborative video project, with artist Tan Biyun about the last street vendors of Singapore. 
She also enjoys presenting mixed-media installations to diversify her disciplines.

Zai Tang is an artist, composer and sound designer based in Singapore. Drawing influence from acoustic ecology, phenomenology and electronic & experimental music, his practice is built upon a belief that listening is an invaluable means of attuning to and forming deeper relationships with the worlds we inhabit.

In his solo work, he asks the question: What does it mean to listen to nature in a time of ecological crisis? In response, he experiments with the transformation and visualisation of wildlife field recordings from habitats under threat. The resulting material is used to create immersive listening experiences that imagine new ways to relate to more-than-human life.
