Acoustic Mandala Project began as a studio collaboration between Josh Geisler (bansuri flute, didgeridoo, jaw harp, electronics) and David Ellenbogen (guitar) in 2009. Their eponymous debut album explores lush raga-based harmonies tuned in just intonation, which creates a haunting resonance rarely heard in "Western" music. Since then, Josh went on to become the music director for Cirque du Soleil's "TOTEM". David founded the Ragas Live Festival and serves as an artistic director of Brooklyn Raga Massive. The Project has continued to grow, incorporating elements of sound meditation practices and live looping.
