Story behind the song
Inspired by several "East meets West" jazz-rock artists that incorporate Indian culture, I chose to combine traditional Vedic mantras with modern instrumentation for my next project. The focus of this release is the Taittiriya Upanishad, one of the most important writings of ancient Indian thought. It presents a positive, world-affirming philosophy and is best known for its concept of the five selves (or five sheaths), that veil the light of the True Self. Having read an English translation years ago, I was already familiar with many of its theories and ethical principles and thought it would be a favorable complement to my other projects.
