Ram Dass unveils the depth of his classical training in his new EP “Siddhartha” through the movement of sound and silence
SAN FRANCISCO, CA. September 9, 2022 – Ram Dass releases, “Siddhartha,” a moving instrumental journey on Spirit Voyage Records. As a classically trained musician and storied music producer, the lush landscapes of Ram Dass’ music have always pulled in listeners. On Siddhartha, you can feel the movement of sound and silence on Siddharta as if the instruments are breathing. Ram Dass plays piano, flute, clarinet and guitar accompanied by the beautiful cello of Shannon Hayden. This musical meditation evokes an emotional healing that you experience through every note.
“Siddhartha is an exploration into expressing feelings without words in the Classical realm, which was a huge part of my musical experience growing up,” says Ram Dass. “What we created, I think, is an incredible balance of the movement that happens in expressing grief as well as the stillness of breath and perfection of each moment.”
