"Saṅkhāra" is a concept figuring prominently in Theravada buddhism, which means "formations, phenomena, or coming to form, together". Saṅkhāra Ensemble plays with this sense of "arising and coming together" by weaving together incantations in the form of spoken word-song with free and raga improvisation invoking a spirit of collective, abstract devotion. By spontaneous (cue/gesture/prompt based) arrangements into duos, trios, quartets and quintets allows the dynamics of the sound to subside and swell. Drawing from the freedom of multi-lingual wordplay, Saṅkhāra creates an ever-morphing world-sound that is both idiosyncratic and unified.
