Brooklyn Raga Massive Presents The Unstruck Sound at the Rubin Museum

Friday, February 24, 2017
7 – 8:15PM

Inspired by the concept of Anahata Nada, “the sound produced without striking,” Brooklyn Raga Massive presents The Unstruck Sound.

OM, the primordial vibration, the big bang which created all from nothing, is the original unstruck sound. This interactive performance begins with a brief lesson in overtone singing and pronouncing OM while clearly enunciating the harmonics. Group chants of OM will evolve into drones of overtone singing. Later guitar loops, Indian classical violin, and flutes join to create cosmic soundscapes reaching for the unstruck sound.

Neel Murgai (vocals, percussion) David Ellenbogen (guitar, electronics) Arun Ramamurthy (violin) Eric Fraser (bansuri)

Tickets: $25 General Admission; $22.50 Members
