India is the musical vision from Don Shiva: A country so rich with many different varieties of music styles and tradition. A country in which music plays a large role in every day life, be it religious or secular. Don Shiva experiences the magic of Indian music during his travels through the country, in temples and in the streets.
His albums commit to electronic Bollywood Bhangra sounds and undertakes the step to transpose the marvellous variety of the sounds into our Western world.
Due to powerful and emotional visions of the Indian God SHIVA and the instructions and predictions he received from Shiva, the first album “Rama Ho“ was recorded. Since not only the outside sensory fields of this world, but also the widths of Don Shiva’s consciousness were wandered through, the second album “Bollywood Lounge” came into being. It was a rhythmic journey through his internal world.
In his 3rd release now, Don Shiva breaks out of his old conventions and turns this musical work around. Don Shiva now sounds different. This new recording reflects the immeasurable wealth of Indian music varieties and lets the listener experience the easy sounds and vibe of Indian flutes. Contrarily to this, the sound often enchants with easy House Beats. The music animates to relax and wallow in memories – the music invites to dive into the tone quality-magnificence and languorous depth, to leave the soul floating around in the charm of India.
The change of the music embodies also the religious spirituality so characteristic for India. Everything is underlaid for change and alteration in the flow of time. Humans, things, nature. So why hold on to the past, if change is symbolism for life and vibe, cyclic change. Standing still and persistence means singularity and thus stagnation. The only true and steady consistency is transition and change.
Powerful and emotional visions!!!
