Stephan
What keeps you busy during the week?
I am a professional sitar player, in addition to composer, recording engineer and producer. I had the opportunity to train, classically on the sitar, with a master who trained with Ravi Shankar. I’ve been playing for 30 years and play a lot of various kinds of music from traditional to pop-fusion. Traditional sitar music is very healing as a meditative aid, and my teacher taught from that aspect.
