Tracing Transcendetal Tone

The multiple award-winning feature documentary follows a pilgrimage through the sacred sounds of India – a land of many faiths, including Vedanta, Islam and Buddhism. Using striking visual material accompanied by an evocative, multi-layered soundtrack, the audience is taken on a unique sonic journey through the sacred sound practices of many of the world’s key religions. A combination of interviews, performances, and natural sounds weaves a rich and immersive cinematic experience. With an intimate and direct camera style, viewers have the opportunity to get close to the many spiritual practitioners, musicians and meditation teachers who form the fabric of the journey. Bubbling hot springs, subtropical nocturnal symphonies of insects, and harsh, frozen mountain winds combine with mantra chanting, classical Hindustani music, and the dynamic temple sounds of drums and trumpets. This audio-visual tone poem is an invitation to experience greater sense awareness and the transformative and healing power of sound.
