   About dharmata 101




Dharmata 101 was formed in 1997 by frontman/composer Jsun Bruner, after dissolving his prior project- which was a psychedelic folk project involving programmed rhythms called Mellow No. 5. The project was originally put together as a large deviation from the sappy, light-hearted work of Mellow No. 5 in the interest of making more lyric-driven music; particularly after Bruner became fascinated with Buddhist philosophy after reading "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying".

In 1999, dharmata101 finished work on its first album entitled, "The Five Shackles". Lacking the lyrical depth and musical composition originally intended to be the benchmark of the project, the album was shelved. Bruner then began work on his current body of work, "Protest Songs for the Content". The project's style began to change after Bruner became influenced by EBM and the burgeoning futurepop scene that he was surrounded by living in Europe. In 2000, Bruner moved back to the United States and began playing the projects first shows in small coffee shops in Idaho. In 2002, Bruner moved back to his home in Northern Virginia where he hired live guitarist Kevin Keier. Over the next few years, dharmata 101 would play a handful of live shows per year, including opening for such acts as God Module, Haujobb, Assemblage 23, and Bella Morte; as well as playing festivals such as Nuclearfest 2008 (Washington, DC) and Exogenesis 2008 (Springfield, MO).

In February 2007, dharmata 101 self-released "Protest Songs for the Content", which was then later remastered and re-released by Radio-Active-Music.com - the band's current label. Curently, dharmata 101 is just JSun Bruner . The band is pursuing live opportunities over the US, as well as working on both new material and an upcoming remix EP featuring remixes of PSFTC.

"Everything about this new edition of Protest Songs for the Content is an improvement over the original; even the artwork of a spray-painted slash over the flag of Washington, DC possesses a sheen of professional quality that complements the music perfectly. While still a local act, Dharmata 101 make clear with this album that the scope of their vision is far-reaching, with lyrical topics as universal as politics and spirituality and musical influences as diverse as the world has to offer. It is these elements on Protest Songs for the Content that help to mark Dharmata 101 as an exciting and strong new force in today's underground music scene."
- ReGen Magazine

I belief in
artgeneering...

the artist is only a medium,connected to the spirits around him-

translating vibes into symbolic shapes to reinitialize the ancient way
of using language...

the way of light and color...

without the disguise of words,right through the passage of our eyes...

to reach hearts and souls without taking the intelectual loop way...

natural formulas in an unnatural world...pure and uncensored...

awakening the visiual awareness, the centre of our inner universe...

to let it shine in the way it has allways been before these annoying
times,

that keep us away from our natural mission...

to stay connected with our great mother earth and her deep spirit of
freedom and peace...

we have to regain our nearly lost nativeness,

to stop this wheel of opression and iniquity that haunts our world and
our hearts...it's time for the rainbow warriors :-)
