A Community Sound Exploration

SVARAM is one of the places on the Indian subcontinent experimenting in the field of creating new musical instruments that should be accessible to everybody, directly bringing the joy of music into one’s hands and heart.

The SVARAM organisational model has always followed a participatory approach. This is a transition from a development project into a sustainable enterprise. Our emphasis is on social and cultural awareness. We focus on a holistic paradigm and strategy to create psychological, social and environmental well-being for the growing SVARAM community enterprise. This sustains our innovative energies and discoveries.

Coming Together

As it happens, in the main season, visitors from around the globe walk into our workshop and listening space next to Ganesh Bakery in Auroville. When Kate and Holger dropped by in Autumn 2010 and a spontaneous and playful resonance emerged and without hesitation we found ourselves a few days later in Holger’s “Sunshine Studio” with many of SVARAM’s instruments and Kate’s intriguing voice. Jan, a young percussionist and volunteer at SVARAM joined in. On this SVARAM Sound package you will hear the result of this heartfelt collaboration.

We hope this original soundtrack from the Auroville soil and forests can offer you a glimpse of the spirit of our listening explorations, and bring the SVARAM Sounds into your heart and h-om-e!

While the one and primal track on this Demo leads on a journey into the sound world of SVARAM’s environment and work, it also offers the opportunity to listen and spot the single instrument through separated tracks. There are photos of the SVARAM instruments on our website svaram.org and online store, and you can download our catalog for further reference or contact us for more information. You are very welcome to join us in this growing and exciting Sound Adventure.
