Amrita, meaning Nectar, was born out of pure love of simplicity and sound. The idea with Amrita was to create a cd that is organic and acoustic, melodic and textural. On their second cd, Ê Vidão (meaning, "this is the life"), they continue with their Global Time Travel with a modern, more urban perspective, creating music that is both meditative and danceable.~ Ê Vidão features a vast array of instrumentation: sitar, tabla, dhol, mandolin, dholak, surdo, hebolo, vocals, didgeridoo, repenique, piano, acoustic and electric guitar, keyboards, slide guitar, drum programming, trombone, bansuri.~~ Thomas Wave is a Philadelphia musician who also performs with the extremely talented acoustic Indian fusion band ONE. Thomas plays sitar, acoustic and electric guitars, didgeridoo, mandolin and sings. He has performed throughout the U.S. as a soloist and also in collaboration with yoga luminary Shiva Rea as well as with master percussionists Subash Chandran and Ganesh Kumar. He has studied sitar in Calcutta, India as well as in USA. Thomas is also a recent grant recipient from the American Composers Forum for his original score of the theater production of OneDream. He recently recorded with LLCoolJ for his upcoming release of the single RAW.~~~ Jeremy Dyen is a Philadelphia musician who performs also with underground prog-pop rock giants, Blivit, as well as Alo Brasil and the world drumming orchestra, Spoken Hand. He has also recorded with platinum artist John Legend, and performed with Zakir Hussain, Digable Planets and G-Love. Jeremy plays piano, tabla, lap steel guitar, guitar and sings.
