Subhash Prem Giri is a flute player who combines a knowledge of Indian classical ragga with modern experimental arrangements. His music is like the rustle of coastal sands caressed by an ocean wave, growing quiet for just a moment to allow the listener to hear absolute soundlessness, then rolling in anew from an enormous depth of being, enveloping us in abstract melodic constructions. This is the sound of "emptiness and filling," born in the hollow bamboo reed between the performer's lips and fingers. He got his name, which became his stage name, during lengthy journeys through India and Tibet and encounters with spiritual teachers. In Sanskrit "su" means "good" or "sunny," Suria is the Sun God, and "Bhash" is a dialog or conversation. This name could therefore be translated as "addressing the Sun" or simply "he who explains his thoughts well." "Prem" is Love, and the prefix "Giri" means "of the mountains." First and foremost, the flute is valued for its emptiness. It is precisely this idea that Subhash strives to get across to the public. Filling the emptiness of the flute with living pranic energy, one can hear the sound of one's own heart and enter into unison with the sound of the listener's heart while introducing a stream of meditativeness and awareness of the surrounding space.
