Daniel’s workshops

In this series of workshops we will work on different aspects that are fundamental to musical awareness, the flow of interpretation and the way a performance is perceived by the audience.

We will investigate this moment of creativity where music appears through the eyes of a luthier and acoustician, from a contemporary music point of view, and mainly through yogic exercises and meditations that lead us to a transcendental consciousness about how the sound current is happening.

This consciousness comes from the yogic healing art Sat Nam Rasayan that has its origins in the early Sufi and Sikh traditions of the Himalaya. In Sanskrit „Sat Nam Rasayan“ means „the flow of the true identity“. We move into a space of deep inner silence and oneness where we recognize of how the outside resonates within our own self. Just by giving space to those reactions, by balancing them in our awareness, we create a sensitive space where things start to reveal and flow in their own essence.

We will work on:

What is sound?

An acoustic view on harmonics, how sound is being composed by harmonics and what kind of sounds our instruments are able to produce.

Sound projection

We will investigate how sound, a melodic movement or intonation is aligned by our capacity to feel it and form it in our awareness before the sound physically appears.

Clarify your sound projection

How can we adjust our sound projection and adapt it to our instruments to develop their full potential?

Return to oneness

The way we manifest ourself is conditioned by our experiences, our surroundings, the way we grow up and the habits we developed from all this. We will return to a consciousness of oneness where things are still unwritten and give ourself a chance to appear in a new way.

The groove of the silence

One of the most beautiful experiences in music is to maintain the intensity of silence.

Contemporary sound meeting

We will use exercises from contemporary music and experience a rely present and intuitive way to communicate through sounds.

Stage presence

When we perform in front of an audience sometimes a musician feels isolated from his environment, trying to perform a mind-created interpretation of the music he wants to play. We will work on how to connect again and create a space where you become aware how time, the audience and your surroundings are present within your own self. We practice how to take this impressions, transform them and express them trough our music. Then you will be playing from the position of an observer just giving space to the music that reveals its essence through your hand.
