Bastyan – indian harmonium, hang, piano, udu drum, gong, percussion, back vocal
Sabina – vocals, guitar, ukulele, piano


This music is knitted from ancient Indian sacred songs, the wisdom of Sufi poets, own instrumental compositions by Bastyan and Sabina's therapeutic songs.  It associates traditional instruments, such as indian harmonium, african udu drum, darbuka, gong and some more, with modern ones, which creates a special atmosphere. It's an experience, based on the sound and messages, which come very close to the listener and create inner peace and harmony within himself. Mantras can protect our spirit by directing our thoughts, which are usually scattered to all sides, in one point, to the centre of higher inspiration. Among this, their purpose is also loosening of old emotional blocades, cleaning the cells and energetic centres, reaching deeper relaxation, overcoming stress and tension in everyday life and expansion of our consciousness. During our performance the audience should cooperate with us (especially with singing), so they can reach the heart of the music.

BASTYAN is an artist, who is recently making his new compositions of peaceful music. He uses traditional and modern instruments. Among those worth mentioning is Disco Armonico (hang drum), an instrument that creates a very intimate and meditative atmosphere. With a wide range of instruments he tends to find the original sound and its precision creates worlds in which the human heart can calm down and finally free - this is what the music is made for. He has performed as a singer and drummer in bands All from nothing and Hobbson's choice and collaborated in a project Allegro non troppo, where they have also released an album, Per intervalla insanie. He has been working on his solo projects as a piano player and he has released his solo album We live in spiral. He has collaborated in the project Swarga, where they have also released an album.
The inspiration for his music comes with gradual transitions between domestic and foreign places of Mediterranean. Until now, he has performed at many venues, festivals and yoga retreats in Switzerland, Croatia, Italy, Sicily, Slovenia, Belgium, France, Austria, Mallorca and Malta.


SABINA's creativity is expresed through words and music. Her music is very peculiar and hard to describe, it flows quite minimalistically between acoustics and electronics and moves between ambiental and meditative kind with lyrical and declaring poetry and lyrics. She also uses music in a therapeutic and educational manner, working with children and adults.

She collaborated as a singer in project Allegro non troppo, where they have released an album. After, she formed her own band Swarga as a singer-songwriter and guitarist, and released an album To the Sun, in May 2011. Though music is her first choice, she writes poetry, short stories and fairytales. In October 2012 she has published her first book of poetry, Potovanja duše (Journeys of the Soul).
Until now, she has performed at various concert stages, some major festivals and yoga retreats all over Slovenia and in Italy, Malta, Mallorca, Belgium and Croatia.
Curently, she is working on her new album.
