Bansuri Dreams John Wubbenhorst 10013 Buy this CD Now "The bansuri flute is one of the most sensual and serene instruments to come out of India. Only a couple of Westerners have mastered it's intricacy; one is John Wubbenhorst." - Billboard Magazine

"Evocative selections subtly fuse contemporary Western harmonies and meditative lines with Indian raga forms.......an elated voice to the extensive Indian classical training he received at the feet of Hariprasad Chaurasia during years of study in India........an immensely appealing tapestry of sound "
--Hinduism Today

1. Happy Journey - happened spontaneously in the studio while we were mixing and features the "Hadgini" drum, a unique 2 pieced clay drum than Ken Anoff plays so well.
2. Heartrise - falling into the depth of the heart, I'm reminded of Ramana Maharshi's phrase, "let the mind sink into the heart ..."
3. Midnight Meditation - is taken from the raga Malkauns and communicates the profound meditation that one can feel at midnight when all is still.
4. Bengali Folk Song - an example of the sweetness and beauty found in the folk music of Bengal.
5. Initiation- is based on the raga Madhuvanti and conjures up feelings of spiritual initiation as one begins to feel beyond the small contracted body/mind.
6. Noon Mist - comes from the raga Shudh Sarang; the raga for the time period around noon, and fills one with a soothing bliss.
7. Afternoon Prayer - raga Bhimpalasi, with its sublime rasa of meditation and devotion is the source for this piece.
8. Peace/Thy will be Done- is from raga Bhupali. It is our hope that this music fills you with peace.
