The Enuma Elish, over 4000 years old, is the sung creation story from the Sumerian, Akadian and Babylonian civilizations. It sings of how the mother of chaos and god of the underworld crated the universe, but then the father of order Marduk (Jupiter) created order in our solar system allowing life on earth to flow with the motions of the planets. It is a song about astrology...
The Raising of the Hand to Ishtar is one of the oldest most complete Goddess invocations in history. It sings to Ishtar, Inanna, Venus, the supreme goddess of nature and human culture and the moods and motions of change through which we must grow...
Omnisutra is band that re animates ancient Holy songs in their original language, with some musical resemblance to the folk music from where it came, and some improvisation and embellishment. With such mystical presence the piece is never played the same way twice.
Omnisutra:
Vocals and Daf: Gavin Shri Amneon - a mystic, artist and music producer, working mostly with the traditions of the Holy Kabbalah and Tantra, has been working with and teaching these mystical methods for personal and cultural development for over 30 years.
Oud: Will Thompson.
Clarinet and sound production: Michael Green: Michael bought his first clarinet on a whim almost five decades ago. He currently plays in a number of ensembles including a ten piece kirtan band, and an eight piece sound bath orchestra. He is also a member of Omnisutra, a four piece ensemble which features voice, oud, soprano and bass clarinet, and presents a program twice each year, focused upon Middle Eastern sacred texts. As well as soprano and bass clarinet, Michael plays Ancient Greek Aulos, yidaki (didgeridoo), and blues harp.
Vocals: Portia Tang - Portia is a Hong Kong born vocalist, whose singing touches upon an eclectic mix of jazz (swing, Brazilian Bossa Nova and Latin rhythms), intuitive sound healing meditations and cross-cultural improvisations.
She is inspired by the power of sound, especially the voice, when it is used creatively to bring meaning and focus to life.
Outside of performance, Portia dedicates her time nurturing her voice and piano students at her vocal studio.
