Sattva सत्त्व, is a journey into balance, purity, and the subtle harmonies that connect the inner and outer worlds. Rooted in Buddhist principles of mindfulness and transcendence, this album is a sonic exploration of the calm abiding that arises when the mind rests in equanimity.
In Buddhist philosophy, sattva represents clarity, harmony, and the essence of lightness in being. It is one of the three gunas—qualities that influence our state of mind and behavior. When cultivated, sattva leads to wisdom, compassion, and serenity, echoing the teachings of the Buddha on the path to liberation.
Through the meditative resonance of Tibetan singing bowls, atmospheric textures, and field recordings from Nepal's sacred landscapes, Sattva is an invitation to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the stillness within. Each track has been crafted to support mindful meditation, yoga, or deep relaxation, aligning with the Buddhist practice of cultivating inner peace and awareness in every moment.
Field recording of Tibetan Monks recorded in Kathmandu , Nepal. Playing singing bowls and chanting. The additional singing bowls were recorded in the studio in January of 2025.
You will hear a zen dub influence in this release, as I have always been inspired by Ambient Dub.
