For most of my life, I have been "in" music. This is a scrapbook of work that spans time and context. Some of it is solo, some collaborative, representing everything from straight ahead popular music to experimental and downright weird stuff. Some are mere sketches, others more developed pieces. All are attempts to capture the kind of magic only music allows. Please enjoy

Musician, designer, composer, inventor and spiritualist. My music is inspired spiritually and musically. In youth I played Bach, funk, jazz and reggae. I played in nylon string guitar duo which I warmly remember. I studied indian Ragas for some time and listen to Indian classical music for some years. Performed with tabla and recorded demo of our duo (vinar+tabla). I was always involved in kirtan projects and informal chanting in groups. I have developed mix between guitar and Indian vina / sitar (see: www.vidyafusion.com). I have two projects going, instrumental & vocal. I have started singing in 2005. Most material here is demo. I still maintain small logo and web design agency www.theMmedia.com. 

I hold the view that music is an expression of the soul and heart, and not so much of  intellect and technic. True music comes from silence, point of inner focus. 

I was a monk for 12 years living in India (Mayaur, West Bengal) and in Europe. I live now in Canada but looking elsewhere. I have a faithful and loving wife and smart son and very talented beautiful daughter. We want to live in uplifting environment with uplifting people. We think there is a deeper meaning to music and art in general - more lasting.
