New album 'The Phantom Five' out August 30.

I am a long time student of the bansuri , Indias' subtle and enormously expressive bamboo flute .  I studied in my early years with GS Sachdev , the most patient and generous of teachers and a great master whose purity of tone is renowned, and more recently with Mindia Devi Klein a very talented California based bansuri player and world musician, who herself studied extensively with Hariprasad Chaurasia . The bansuri itself has been a great teacher on the nature of ego and selflessness.  Recently I played a short piece at a wedding, in a beautiful redwood grove. The music seemed  totally unremarkeable to me . Afterward so many people told me how touching and beautiful it was, I had to reflect on what made it so. I noticed that  i remembered absolutely nothing about what I played till the last 10 seconds. It seemed that touching that still place, beyond the mind  the essence of Raga ( which means to tinge or color i.e. the mind ) worked its magic . 
       I generally play one of 2 E flute made be Harshwarden of New Dehli , or an F flute made by Jeff Whittier . I play regularly at weddings and other occasions and at the siddha yoga ashram in Oakland
