PAUL LIVINGSTONE
PAUL LIVINGSTONE, SITARIST & COMPOSER
Performing artist and activist Paul Livingstone spent a highly formative teenage
year initiating his study of music in India, eventually becoming one of the few
American disciples of the legendary Pt. Ravi Shankar. He has since toured as a
performer around South Asia, Europe, and Latin America, developing a reputation
as a serious proponent of the North Indian raga music.
As a composer, Paul brings a grounded knowledge of tradition to his work. He has
composed and recorded for film and television, as well as for numerous live
theater and dance productions. He has also performed on two Grammy-winning
records and on recordings with popular artists such as Alanis Morrisette, Ricky
Kej, and Ozomatli.
Paul leads the Arohi Ensemble and performs regularly as a classical sitarist. He
is on the music faculty at Glendale Community College as a teacher of Indian and
world music ensembles. He is also the founder of the Soul Force Project, an
ongoing performance vehicle combining live music and with a message of
nonviolent change-making.

Our latest EP, ''Prayers for Peace" is a four movement raga meditation

this day. The new album features sitar, sarod and organic flowing dronal
textures with spoken words by philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti and Holocaust
survivor Elie Wiesel. In his Nobel Peace Prize
Our latest EP, ''Prayers for Peace" is a four movement raga meditation
soundscape on some of the deepest challenges we have faced in history through to
this day. The new album features sitar, sarod and organic flowing dronal
textures with spoken words by philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti and Holocaust
survivor Elie Wiesel. In his Nobel Peace Prize speech he said, “I swore never to
be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation.
We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim."
As difficult as these conversations are to listen to, I personally find the
message to be one of genuine hope. This hope is one that is sorely needed in
these times of great anxiety, disease and war. Perhaps it is only our faith in
our spiritual capacity to change that can confront the compounded crises of the
climate, refugees and the fear that drives our idolatry of nationalism and
violence. This disease of the heart must be challenged, before it continues to
dehumanize our own souls and affect a breakdown of our social communities in the
process.
This is the fourth release in our raga meditation series, presenting music for
stillness, healing, meditation, yoga and anytime calling for a contemplative and
regenerative mood. Our focus is on a dynamic listening experience of uplifting
and inspiring sounds of the South Asian ragas in a contemporary context.
