This music is taken from a performance called Elemental. Elemental was directed by me and I performed it with artists from the SAMAVESHA collective.

The score for Elemental is based on the 5 elements (earth, water, fire, wind, space) and their connection to the 5 senses (smell, taste, sight, touch, hearing). All manifested universe is the expression of the 5 elements, and exploring our connection to them helps us to have a better relationship and interaction with the world we live in.
