Projects

As a music producer, I'm collaborating with the creative artist Barakat Alsaleh, who is directing our project, The Nap. This unique experience designed to shift your mind from its default mode of everyday life—the “problem-solving” mindset—into a state of receptivity and relaxation. In this state, you can become more aware of your inner world, full of images, memories, emotions, and sensations. As you lie down, close your eyes, and release all expectations, you will find yourself zooming out into a broader perspective, where your life story, the world around you, and the concepts of time and space come together in a unified context.

Activating imagination through “storytelling by music” is a profound, sensual experience that engages all your senses. This form of artistic expression challenges the rigid patterns of the mind. By blending melody and narrative, it creates a vivid, dreamlike journey that transcends ordinary perception, allowing you to explore the depths of your inner world and the connectivity of everything.

Resonance and Silence

Silence creates space for sound. Sound resonates in silence.

Resonance and Silence is a unique collaboration between Arman Ameri Mahani, a meditative singing instructor and performer, and Ank Schravendeel, an experienced meditation guide.

This practice is an interactive journey where vibration and sound bring us into contact with our bodies and emotions, while silence offers the space to observe the mind and soul.

The Collaboration

Since 2023, we have been merging our expertise to offer a unique inner experience across the Netherlands, including Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Groningen, Zwolle, and Nijmegen. Our practice combines:

Vipassana Meditation: Drawing from Ank’s years of experience in silent observation and mindfulness.

Meditative Raga Singing: Drawing from Arman’s mastery of ancient vocal techniques and Dhrupad.

Together, we merge ancient meditative singing with the profound stillness of Vipassana, inviting participants to explore their inner world through a blend of music and meditation.
