TARSHITO

 
Longtime exponent of New Age,Healing,World,Fusion music, Tarshito has followed a diverse and fascinating path into the world of music. Not being one to sit solely in his studio and dream, he has travelled extensively and gone 'on location' to feel out haunting atmospheres to enrich his music. Among his influences are Indian, Latin, Brazilian, African and Aboriginal tribal music, Tarshito blends the " primitive" with rock, jazz, folk ,classical and ambience to give his work a unique power.
"Music is the ultimate artform.It is the only one of the major artforms one can enjoy outwardly and innwardly either with eyes open or closed.

For me it is expression,an outlet for my creativity,a way of communicating both with musicians and listeners,a way to have fun,a way to be social,a way to be alone,the ultimate meditation and one of the most powerful healing modalities.

I'm a composer so I enjoy the act of creating and producing a musical work,but it's all just to arrive in this moment,here and now.So the ultimate music is improvisation,when I'm not following anything pre-arranged,the music is flowing through me, the "I" is not present. No thoughts,my fingers or voice go to notes automatically.That's it!
Inspired compositions come from this magical state of being, which I try to capture in my recorded music."

Tarshito has produced, recorded and released 40 of his own albums todate and many albums for other artists.

Hi,

Welcome to my website.

A casual update on what I've been up to the past year or so.

Lot's of jammin at parties,acoustic round the camp fire.....mmmmmm...... and of course some other highlights......

In May 2005 I began composing and producing music for the film "The Whale Dreamers" by Kim Kindersly.

This movie has now won many awards  ( including   best movie award at  The Byron Film Festival 2006) and will be released world wide soon.The music from the film will be released on CD as well. For more info go to  www.heartmagic.com

"Govinda" a track from  Chanting Into Bliss II album was  nominated for the NCEIA Dolphin Award for Devotional Music 2006

MULTI-LEVEL-LISTENING -MUSIC

I enjoy creating music that can be apreaciated on many different levels.That is what this music is about,hence the term I use "MULTI-LEVEL-LISTENING MUSIC".There is abundant music out there that one can listen to on only a very limited range of levels.Some meditation music is fine for meditating but if you want to listen to the musical content, musicianship, arranging or composing it's lacking. The other extreme is some jazz or classical music, which is mainly musicians music and can only be appreaciated on the level of technical wizardry of the instrumentalists, the brilliant composing/arranging etc. but if you're not tuning into it directly, it becomes very jarring and obtrusive.
This music can be used as backround music to create an ambience, a mood(ambient music) whereby one can enjoy working or playing at something else, relaxing, dining or socialising without the music being imposing. It can also be appreaciated on deeper listening levels tuning in to the composing, arranging,instrumentation, sound quality and effects, layers of melodies and rhythms weaving and entwining, all produced to enable you to listen many times at many levels without exhausting your enjoyment and feeling of well being.
