Davide Swarup’s hang music is a stairway to heaven, a place where the mind stops and finds inner peace. The beauty of the hang brings the audience in the present moment, here and now, and there is nothing else than the music. Davide gives not just a musical experience but, as he explains, “an opportunity to learn something more about themselves”.

For this dynamic meditation inspired by Indian Master Osho, he starts with 30 minutes dance celebration to ease body and mind and goes on playing hang. The melody brings you closer to yourself, closer to Silence. To quote Osho:

“Just put the human mind aside. And by that, I mean, put the past aside and the future, and look. This very moment… and the whole of heaven descends upon you”.

This session is a meditation guided by the very inspired hang player Davide Swarup. He conducts people to release tension and reconnect with a higher sense of Being, through deep listening. The hangpan has healing properties and vibrations which help the mind to let go and the body to relax. Listening is also a strong experience of opening oneself, of putting behind the mental process and eventually of recovering inner peace.

As Davide says, dynamic meditation is « not just a “musical” experience, but also an opportunity to learn something more about ourselves ».

The immediate benefit of this session is to reconnect oneself with the present. The sound in silence meditation is a chance to dive into the world of the magic sounds of the Hang, to explore one’s inner being, to spend some time with oneself in the time being only. The magical sound of hang brings about peace and tranquillity into the body as well as the mind.

On 5th of February, (“Karakori Ai”) is giving a dance performance.

« Layer by layer, I have tried to remove myself from myself. My art has greatly helped in this. An internal process of restructuring, adding and eliminating all the layers which constitute me. My being, thoughts, experiences, memories, philosophies, spirituality, heart, mind, body, face, texture of skin…. everything peeled layer by layer to reach the source of light within. And through this all, that voice has guided me through.
But why should I do this? The bliss of creation is absolute and there is no need to complicate it by these layers. This needs to be done, because a journey outside is now as important as the journey inside. Because things need to be said now. And with the use of fuzzy grammar, I have to channel outwards, the source of colours on my canvas, through my canvas. That is where I am now ».

– Tarun Sharma

The canvas is blank as well as the painter’s state of mind before he starts the creative process. It is all about clearing out every thought and let the Now be, move and manifest through the shapes. With acrylic, the artist has to be fully aware: no going back, no correction, no adjustment. The gesture becomes a flow and this very fluidity embodies the special quality of being here and now. In that sense, Art is a way of living. Tarun Sharma opens for us a path through the flow of Life, which comes to us and has to be welcomed with awareness, gratitude and respect. As each color, shape and movement is highly respected, enhanced and worshiped in the process of creation, these paintings offer the viewers a unique chance to (re)connect with the Present, its shapes, its flow.

The opening is blessed with a sitar recital by Sri Prasenjit Ray. See you on Friday 17th of February, 4.30pm.
