Semaine de la musique
La musique de la vie
Semaine de la musique
Semaine 4A, 14 – 20 août 2022
“Lorsque nous prêtons attention à la musique de la nature, nous constatons que tout ce qui se trouve sur la terre contribue à son harmonie. Les arbres agitent joyeusement leurs branches en rythme avec le vent ; le bruit de la mer, le murmure de la brise, le sifflement du vent à travers les rochers, les collines et les montagnes, l’éclat de la foudre et le fracas du tonnerre, l’harmonie du soleil et de la lune, les mouvements des étoiles et des planètes, l’éclosion de la fleur, la chute de la feuille, l’alternance régulière du matin, du soir, de midi et de la nuit – tout cela révèle au spectateur la musique de la nature..” – Mysticism of Sound
Au cœur des enseignements de Hazrat Inayat Khan, on trouve la créativité transformatrice de la nature et de la musique pour changer notre monde. Zuleikha, Ophiel, Srinivas et Hu Dost sont des étudiants et des enseignants de la mystique du son et de la musique. Au cours de la journée, nous nous imprégnerons de la musique du silence par des périodes de méditation, des pratiques musicales et sonores (y compris le raga), nous travaillerons avec nos corps comme instruments et nous ferons de la musique ensemble. Zikr, Kirtan et musique live constitueront notre programme du soir.
Cette retraite s’adresse à tous ceux qui ont une relation avec la musique, professionnelle ou non, et qui souhaitent approfondir cette relation, notamment pour répondre à l’appel de la terre pour ce qui est nécessaire à notre époque.

HuDost
HuDost is quite folk/postmodern; the band offers new takes on ancient words and melodies, cross-cultural hybrid transcendental music with an edge.… This is not fluffy new-age music—it’s serious, complex fare. Sommer’s vocal execution is precisely orchestrated, her voice-opening, hollow-toned vortexes piercing through the tough spots.” – Chronogram Magazine
HuDost’s music is a powerful expression of life’s journey and discovery. Electric-Folk, World-Rock ensemble, HuDost, has a new album that will be released November 19th. HuDost’s last album ‘of Water + Mercy’ received rave reviews and as an independent release reached #24 in the BILLBOARD SALES CHARTS for Folk/Americana also winning The Independent Music Award for Social Action Song. In the last year they also received two of the ‘Best of Nashville 2020’ awards. They have been fortunate to have incredible performance opportunities throughout the years and have toured internationally since 2006 collaborating with wild, astonishing, and respected artists, musicians, dancers, and activists. HuDost are committed advocates/activists for ONE (non-profit organization). -
