An evening where Guitar Rock collides with the mystical Indian Sitar

ANIMA opens a portal into a world of emerging experimental live music that is entering the fringes of alternative music gatherings. Immerse yourself into an evening where Guitar Rock collides with the mystical Indian Sitar; where ancient Sanskrit Vedic chants and mantras are evoked and weaved through electro beats

We welcome to our stage, emerging artist, Compound Radius, accompanied by the talented classical Sitar player, Aishwarya. This rare collaboration of rock-fusion, classical Indian Sitar and Vedic sounds is otherworldly.

Compound Radius is celebrated for their genre-bending sounds that are raw and immersive, global yet intimate, experimentally contemporary with classical training. Compound Radius has performed across London's cultural landscape, from Wandsworth Fringe to Kingston River Festival, sharing stages with icons such as Graham Bonnet and Jonathan Mayer. His signature blend of rock energy, ambient soundscapes and electronic atmospheres elevates every performance into a journey of self exploration.

Aishwariya embodies elegance and poise as she transports her audience on a hypnotic journey of resonance that stirs the deep oceans of emotion (Rasa) that move our spirit and embody our essence through the grace of the iconic Indian classical sitar. "Rasa is the emotional universe that an artist creates - an atmosphere so vivid that the listener doesn't just hear the music; they enter it awakening the subtle inner state of your essence." Ambika

If you've been seeking inspiration, community and connection, or simply a place to unwind encapsulated by hypnotic experimental sounds, we have curated this evening for you. Love & Light House of ANIMA
