Kālacakra is a live studio concert that transcends time by negotiating its boundaries and evoking internal timescapes through rāgas. It's a play on the relationship of time and rāgas developed in the Hindustānī music system, as well as the Kālacakra tantric practice, in which the 'external cycles' of the cosmos, the 'internal cycles' of the body and mind, and the 'alternative cycles' of the spiritual plane are studied to transcend the duality of the microcosm and the macrocosm. Hindustānī vocalist Akhil Jobanputra, along with New York-based Tejas Tope on Tabla/Pakhavaj and multi-faceted artist Kishan Patel on Esraj, will present three rāgas outside of their prescribed time-of-the-day. An evening of sonic visualization, authentically fresh music, and philosophical exploration awaits.
