Atmic Vision, a new sound in East-West Indian classical fusion music, is an innovative blending of Indian bamboo flute, double bass, and tabla, that makes accessible the expressive richness of Indian ragas and rhythms to audiences of all ages and backgrounds.  Atmic Vision performs instrumental renditions of raga-based bhajan songs of India and raga-based compositions in the style of North Indian classical music.   Performances are infused with inspirational improvisation and dynamic musical dialogue between the musicians.

According to ancient Vedic philosophy of India, true happiness and joy are not found in the external world, but rather internally in that place of Sathyam, Sivam, Sundaram (Truth, Goodness, Beauty), which is at the core of every human being. Atmic Vision, with its unique blend of Eastern & Western musical influences, explores this inner world.  Characterized by its ability to take audiences on a journey within to a place of deep inner joy and peace, the music of Atmic Vision creates a musical experience wherein audiences share together in a powerfully transformative experience.   As K. Bowers, Director of the Panida Theater, conveys, "Atmic Vision was one of the finest concerts ever performed on the Panida stage. The incredibly beautiful music took me deep within, spoke to the core of my being, moving a part of me that I'm not in touch with enough.   But I found that as much as I wanted to remain there, I also didn't want to miss the opportunity to watch the musicians play.   All masters of their instruments, their precision was engrossing.  Not only was the music mesmerizing, but also the ease, familiarity and the perfection in which the instruments were handled, is something to behold.  Foreign to the American eye, the tabla, flute and double bass combination played in the traditional Indian way held the audience in reverence.”

The secret to Atmic Vision’s phenomenal success in reaching audiences of all ages is rooted in their combination of multi-cultural musical elements.  Atmic Vision’s unique new sound is created by the group’s innovative pioneering blend that combines the warm and rich vibrations of the double bass with the captivating quality of the bansuri bamboo flute and the energizing rhythmic virtuosity of the tabla drums.   Never before has the double bass been incorporated so deeply into Indian music.   Weaving gracefully between roles as a soloist and a chamber music accompanist, Paul’s double bass brings to Indian music a whole new world of musical possibilities. The sound of the double bass enables Western audiences a familiar aural foothold, a window that makes the Indian elements accessible.  Atmic Vision’s audiences have been culturally diverse, but have consistently been drawn into and thrilled by the magical and mesmerizing world of Atmic Vision.

Atmic Vision’s broad range of presentations draw upon extensive performance and teaching experience in Indian and Western classical music.  Concerts feature instrumental renditions of traditional Indian bhajan songs and raga-based compositions.  Atmic Vision reached over 5000 students in 2007 with its ‘Expanding the Horizons’ Indian music workshop.    For university aged music students, Atmic Vision has three unique clinics for music students:
