Living Meditation Project: An Ecstatic Listening Soundbath

Living Meditation Project: An Ecstatic Listening Soundbath with Fahad Siadat and guest artist Fabricio Cavero

The Living Meditation Project presents a unique and immersive experience: a one-hour event that merges deep listening with ecstatic meditation. This soundbath invites participants into a transformative sonic journey led by composer and performer Fahad Siadat, alongside guest artist vocalist and music technologist Fabricio Cavero, who will provide Indigenous Peruvian instruments and a quadraphonic sound experience.This ongoing series explores the synergy between creative and spiritual practices, creating a space where music becomes a tool for meditation and transcendence. The soundbath incorporates a variety of musical elements, including drones, rhythmic patterning, and free improvisation, designed to guide participants into a trance-like or transcendental state of consciousness.

Attendees are encouraged to engage with the music, either by bringing their own voices or instruments to join in, or by simply immersing themselves in the soothing, meditative sounds. Whether you actively participate or prefer to relax and absorb the soundscapes, this event offers a profound opportunity for inner exploration and healing.

Fabricio, a composer from Cusco, Peru, synthesizes composition, performance, and investigation in his musicianship. He approaches diverse musical languages, from traditional Andean music to popular, experimental, and academic music. He takes inspiration from Andean cosmovision and its convergence with other worldviews in the nowadays Americas. He studied Viola Performance and Composition in Texas at TCU and SMU (2007-2015) and computer music and precolonial music instruments at UNTREF in Argentina (2020-2022).

As a student in the Integrated Composition Improvisation and Technology Ph. D. Program at UCI, he is focused on integrating ancestral/Indigenous and modern/global music technologies to create multimedia performances. His main inspiration is to honor the legacy of Americas´ "Indigenous intellectuals" and celebrate our continental diversity.
