I sense the roots of all music comes from the same source,
the great matrix of universal energy that fuels our existence.
From this perspective,
Rhythmatrix is the fulfillment of a long term vision.
I’ve always wanted to create a musical ensemble
that freely explores world rhythms in a high energy dance format.
After years of touring with my own band, Crystal Wind,
it feels great to cut loose and rejoice in the freedom of trance music,
which I feel is the next musical evolutionary step toward global harmony.

I am about community.
Rhythmatrix is a beautiful vehicle
to connect people in their bodies, hearts and minds.
My vision combines theater, visual media,
performance art and dance, weaving a tapestry
and being interactive with the audience.
When we enter the trance zone,
we are able to access new powers of creativity and vision.
The idea is to demonstrate the possibilities
in our collective synergy,
in what we can co-create together
when we know we're all on the same global team,
working together for peace
and healing of the natural eco-systems.

I have been singing since age 3.
When I started studying singing seriously, in high school,
I realized that learning to sing has a lot in common with learning to live.
That was the beginning of the intertwining webs of spirituality and music
that have continued to spin through my life ever since.
Many styles of music have resonated deeply in my being,
and I play with them all - trance, African, Middle Eastern, folk and rock.
Singing is my connection to the divine, my statement of emotion.
I have taught singing for over six years,
in the hope of opening that magic channel in others.
RhythMatrix is the realization of a long-held dream of mine
to be part of a synergistic group of musicians whose intention
is to channel divine energy and create a powerful group vibe
that brings people into ecstatic dance.
This is life - this is the peak of existence—right here — with us — with you —
let's dive deep, and let the music move us!

Music is my spiritual practice, my heart's longing and passion. When I’m playing, I’m very focused and feel fully connected to myself, my playmates and the life force.
I particularly enjoy drumming for dancers ~
the communication is strong between us.
For the band, I add color and excitement.
What a thrill!

I play the most marvelous of instruments, the human being,
who dances the path of resonance between expression
of personal melodies and appreciation of the universal symphony.
When I play, I listen with you.
You may have listened to my melodies
in the Jazz Iguanas, Eyes Open, or Ntushamala.
You may have listened with me on the mountain
or at the beach, in drum circles,
at church, at Buddha’s birthday,
or sharing the wonder of music in classes for young children.
I invite you to listen with me now in Rhythmatrix,
as we dance the trance of resonance.
My wish is that we awaken together in the fullness of love.

The wizard of cosmic distortion, Rahman's expressive aural style and cosmic approach to guitar playing bursts forth with haunting presence in rhythmatrix. His sound echos the dynamicness of spirit as it glides through form.Rahman has performed regularly throughout the years in a varity of different musical projects. The diversity of his experience and open taste flourishes in the sonic landscape that is- the rhythmatrix.
