Here is a rare live recording from the 90's from an Osho Sannyasin project in Veneto where I happened to play a few times with our EthnoTrance project HAMSAFAR. At that time we were rehearsing for a concert in Lugano and Miten came for a gig and we did a beautiful concert together...

Ravi, Miten, Prem Joshua, Kamal, Rishi - Rhythm Of Live

The dancing part of the meditation is a rich composition of drums and percussions from all over the world. it starts slow and spacious and slightly increases tempo and rhythm to end in an ecstatic finale. 

Voices and nature sounds help creating a haunting atmosphere to dive deep and dance wild and loose...

The first part of "Shaman's Return" is the "breath of fire" - twice into the nose, once out of the mouth. The music is driving, energetic, pulsing. supporting the breathing to charge you with oxygen...

This sample is in 6/8 rhythm, very light groovy energy with plenty of voices and a very beautiful logdrum pattern and many interesting instruments like the Vietnamese Dan Moi (a jawsharp made from brass...)

Rishi & Harshil - Live in Amarti

This is a Mix of our latest TranceDance Ritual, which we conceived during our shamanic retreat "From Shadow to Light", July 2022. I picked some parts to give you a taste. The whole session was about 2h.
All this music was conceived and improvised in "real time" without any edits. I just mixed some of the recordings and did a bit of dynamic processing for the loudness.

This is a mix from a 5Rhythms event at Schloß Glarisegg in Switzerland recorded live on 5. November 2016. Special guest Oswin was suppurting us with his fretless bass. Moderation of the evening by Wolfgang Ortner. 
Dancing the 5Rhythms Wave with live music is a very special occasion, because the energy and spontaneity of the live music transmits to the dancer and creates an extra level of depths and both the dancers and the musicians are inspired through this meeting...

In memory of beloved Meera Hashimoto, painter, and meditation ambassador I like to share and dedicate this track to her and call it "Meera's Flight". We as Hamsafar recorded this live, during a painting workshop with Meera in Osho Miasto, Italy in 1995. Playing live music for a group of meditative people painting in the amazing surrounding of Tuscany was an extremely inspiring experience. Thanks to Meeras spontaneity and her ability to guide people into the Here and Now, all of us, meditating painters as well as the musicians shared an unforgettable experience. Thanks to my fellow musicians Prem Joshua, Chintan Relenberg, Nadama Novak and Jo Shunyam Körber. It was a fantastic adventure...
