Ram Dass shares his classical music roots in his new EP “Siddhartha” with an offering of profound calm

SAN FRANCISCO, CA. September 9, 2022  – Ram Dass releases a three-track EP, “Siddhartha” as a preview to his upcoming album “The Unimaginable” on Spirit Voyage Records.  On Siddhartha, he presents a collection of purely instrumental tracks to bathe you in a sea of profound calm.  You can feel the movement of sound and silence on Siddharta as if the instruments are breathing.  Ram Dass guides us on a healing instrumental journey through these beautiful classical compositions. Ram Dass plays piano, flute, clarinet and guitar.  On The Prelude for Siddhartha, he is accompanied by the beautiful cello of Shannon Hayden, whose strings pull through the piece with a crystalline sweetness. This musical meditation evokes an emotional healing that you experience through every note.

“The Prelude for Siddhartha was an improvised piece that I sat down and played when I was feeling the desire for peace in my heart amidst a wave of sadness.” says Ram Dass. “I always like to express the beauty of having such deep feelings. I wanted to let the chords ring out so that the silence between the notes became part of the music, almost like a meditation.”
