Free to Kids 13 and Under!Girish’s life journey has been marked by a series of profound transformations, unified by an underlying journey toward purpose. He has gone from aspiring jazz drummer to renunciant Hindu monk to first call tabla guru for the likes of Krishna Das to solo mantra troubadour, and he’s not done yet.
Girish’s follow up to his yoga center sensation, Reveal (Spirit Voyage Music), is all radical departure and simultaneous next step evolution. Shiva Machine, produced by Herb Graham Jr. (John Cale, Macy Gray) is a taste of what boundless aesthetic possibilities sound like when they collide with Sanskrit chant; imagine Beck channeling Sanskrit at a Radiohead concert, and then heading home to make mash-ups in the basement with his classic rock collection. Have a listen and see if you agree:
Mantra was never the same again.
