Hasu is available for concerts, workshops & residencies.

Performance presents the fascinating, highly evolved and traditional music of Ancient India in it's pristine purity...

The performance is spiritual and powerful. The listener
is easily swept into the transcendental purity of each of
the Ragas' movements. The invocation of this divine music
is mesmerizing and introspective, beckoning us all to
bathe in its mysterious transcendence and to relish
our moments in the now...

Album - Gayaki Sitar

   

    Gayaki (singning) in which she is able to emulate the nuances and techniques of the human voice through the rendering of the notes on the Sitar. Gayaki Sitar is Hasu's latest release. The recordings are presented in Alap and the music is spiritual and meditative, rendered to bring forth the transcendental experience of the specific energies which are contained in each Raga . Recorded in a 3D, real acoustic ambient fashion, the CD can easily give the listener the impression that the musicians are actually in the room performing. Omitting in the final process any unnecessary sonic reprocessing or alteration we were able to provide each track with the purest of sound and the fullness of energy required to bring each piece to it's full fruition.
