On CELESTIAL MUSIC

CELESTIAL MUSIC suggests and celebrates the feeling of our inhabiting the Celestial Sound Body, the body of Prana pulsation, a feeling that has been known to harmonize deep sub-conscious stress patterns and to promote enhanced living..

CELESTIAL MUSIC, in its purest, is formless, having no beginning nor ending . It is referred to as the 'Unstruck' sound or the 'Invisible' sound. It is the sound of one hand clapping, or the pulsation of Prana , not originating on the physical plane. Heard not by our ears as in regular hearing but through our cerebral cortex, between the ears, as pulsation, as OM.

The heart 'Cracking Open' as infinite compassion, the consciousness grasping its unity as an entire universal field, the breath releasing as transcendental bliss, beauty and resolution are likely symptoms of Celestial Music immersion.
.
Laraaji, LVN, Composer, Sonic Intuitive, Celestial Musician and Funny Bone Therapist, Channel-performs from within a contemplative-like trance where he is in touch with the Celestial pulsating through all, uniting all..


Using the musical language of Special Electric-Acoustic Zither, African Thumb Piano(Kalimba), Spontaneous voice and Silence Laraaji gives an innovative and creative expression to Celestial Emotion. We are an evolving star civilization, Celestial Music is the compassionate, everpresent, audible validation of this.

In The "Key of Consciousness"

I Am Conscious sound
A vast Star symphony
A sacred new music dawning
As Interstellar harmony.
I Am New tonal beauty
A Nirvanic sonic light,
A transformative rhythmic groove
No mortal could write..

I am evolutional sound
An Inner Nadam stream,
A flowing Celestial melody
Taking consciousness beyond the dream ,

I am ancient memory's song
In cosmic perfect pitch,
An unfolding Jam continuum
With overtones so rich,

I Am mystical Luminous raga
in silence and in infinite gain,
A choir of vibrational voices
Celebrating new consciousness plane ..

I am interdimensional tone
Alive and in glorious timbre
A claraudient evolution
dancing fluid and limber,

I Am consciousness's noise
a sweet swingin' unified field jam
A clangin' and a bangin'
a hootin' and a tootin'
evolving in the key of I AM..

BIO:Laraaji Venus Nadabrahmananda (LVN)

LaraaJi Venus Nadabrahmananda(LVN) has performed in USA and abroad since late 1970’s with his innovative style of electric open tuned zither/harp. After studying piano, music theory & composition at Howard University School of Fine Arts in Washington , DC during the mid nineteen-sixties he became inspired to move to New York city to follow his passion for both musical sound composition and comedy acting. After mild success in theatre, film, TV commercials and night club performance he investigated eastern philosophy, meditation and meta-physics, an investigation which initiated his creative expression into cosmic themes and vibrant new musical tone language .

From Busking in New York City during the late 1970's into early 1980's, to performing improvisational compositions on concert stage, to collaborations within interdisciplinary artist events, to Spirit Festivals, to Yoga Expos and

to many recording sessions he has brought an inspiring non-traditional Zither musical sound that has captivated a peaceful global following.
