“Contemplation of a Mandala returns us from the illusion of individual existence into the way of living in resonance with the wholeness of nature. In music we can call this practice Sonic Mandala. In it we generate ostinatos of circularity that play in a synchronized sound weaving of space and motion. Patterns become like design, thought, dialogue, and forms in nature. These over time create momentum; an invitation to join in the shared experience of the lifted moment.” - Adam Rudolph
