Performing Projects
AMÆMI invites listeners into a profound exploration of sound and spirituality, where ancient rituals meet contemporary aesthetics. Through her Sound and Body project, AMÆMI weaves mantra chanting, live music, and tantric mandala movements into deeply immersive ceremonial experiences. At its core, the project creates a sacred space where tribal traditions merge with modern sensibilities, evoking primal yet ethereal energies. Experimental ambient soundscapes blend seamlessly with the live resonance of healing instruments and ritualistic objects, enveloping the audience in a darkly enchanting atmosphere—a sensorial journey that is both mystical and visceral.
As an experimental DJ and producer, AMÆMI delves into the intersections of sound and spirituality, crafting sonic landscapes that honor the intimate depth of the Tantric tradition while reimagining it within the framework of contemporary Western culture. Her work dissolves boundaries between the sacred and the everyday, offering transformative rituals that are as timeless as they are innovatively redefined.
Her latest ambient EP takes this exploration even further, inviting listeners on an evocative journey that bridges the hyper-cybernetic, metallic cadence of the Western world with the intimate, ritualistic traditions of the Tantric realm. Central to the EP is the invocation of the Ten Tantric Goddesses, each embodying unique facets of the creative and generative energies within us all. Through these compositions, AMÆMI channels the raw ferocity of Kali's transformative power and the soothing eloquence of Matangi’s healing spoken word, capturing the multifaceted essence of these divine archetypes.
The production of the EP is grounded in the use of organic instruments, imbuing coherence and depth into each track. Tuning forks, Indian tantric bells (manjeera), the resonant Mediterranean Catholic bell of Granada, and the handpan create a rich tapestry of sound. These holistic and ritualistic objects reflect a confluence of Tantric traditions, Occidental contexts, and Mediterranean folklore, seamlessly bridging ancestral practices with contemporary soundscapes.
Their unique timbres provide a unifying thread, grounding the experimental ambient compositions in a rich sonic ritualism.
