Description
Prana is a Sanskrit word translating into breath, vital energy, or life force. Yet, its actual meaning goes beyond these descriptions; it is really the primary energy of the universe.
Prana Trio was established to transfer this universal idea of breath into a format based around musical improvisation. The latest CD Pranam is made up of songs inspired by the ancient sacred texts of Rumi, Lao Tsu, Issa and Cummings. The songs are composed using this poetry and then improvised over in an interactive setting.
