Get immersed in the deep, resonant vibrations of the cello, reaching into the most intimate corners of the soul. Ian Maksin continues his journey as a musical nomad, creating a unique fusion of musical traditions from across the globe through the empowering voice of the cello.
Inspired by healing songs of the Navajo people, the trance-inducing grooves of the Tuareg people of West Africa, and the hypnotic shamanic rhythms of Tuva, Mongolia, and other nomadic cultures of Central Asia, he merges these ancient musical experiences with his own original music. Through looping and subtle electronics, he creates immersive soundscapes that envelop the listener and carry them beyond time and space — into a state of meditation, presence, and deep inner transformation.
In addition, Maksin will share a few songs from his collection that currently holds over 300 songs in 43 languages including French, Italian, Farsi, Mongolian, Turkish, Kurmanji, Arabic, Ukrainian, Spanish, Greek, Georgian, Armenian, Hindi, and many others.
