Energizing, inspiring. healing… ATMIC VISION tunes into the positive powers of raga-based Indian music to awaken joy in audiences of all ages! Atmic Vision means seeing the oneness… creative essence … consciousness… love… Atma… that pervades the entire universe. ATMIC VISION’s music brings to life the ancient Indian philosophical principles of Sathyam, Shivam, and Sundaram (Truth/Unity, Goodness, and Beauty). ATMIC VISION’S unique NEW SOUND, a fusion of the soulful double bass, the enchanting Indian bansuri flute and mesmerizing tabla drums, creates an exotic musical experience that uplifts and captivates audiences. Atmic Vision soars, grooves, dances, and reverberates with jazzed-up Indian melodies and rhythms. Audiences are transported "with a pureness of joy I no longer thought possible."

As K. Bowers, Director of the Panida Theater, writes: "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.”
