Jay Kishor's Thirty3

Often described as World Music on the edge of Jazz, Thirty3 is the creation of renowned sitarist/surbaharist-turned-guitarist, Jay Kishor.  Thirty3 creates breathtakingly beautiful, sophisticated and innovative new music with a recognizable style and a strong melodic core.  It is improvised and synergistic in nature, ans as such, reflects the pure and absolute truth of the moment.  Based on Classical Indian Ragas, the improvised works of Thirty3 are presented as musical stories as deep as space and time themselves.  Christopher played for Thirty3 from 2014-2015 as part of an enlightening journey in telling the stories of shapes, as part of their project, Sacred Geometry.

Soundscapes

Christopher's musical explorations have led him to music that carries deeply spiritual implications.  To give voice to that quality, he has spent thousands of quiet, meditative hours developing a unique approach to solo improvisational music.  His soundscapes utilize digital and analog looping/delay technology with an interesting mix of acoustic and electric instrumentation to explore space and time; to build a sense of presence within himself and his audience.  Soundscapes are about meditation, self-discovery, and capturing the beauty of any moment while in the moment.
