Shanthi by SHANTHI
When Prashanthi Sankaran met Georg and Ludger, longtime partners in free improvisation, the trio was excited about the possibilities of Rāga improv meeting live electronic music. A five‑hour jam session later - SHANTHI (Peace) the band was born. The band premiered at the Night of Religions and Cultures in Pauluskirche Dortmund in June 2025.
With SHANTHI, music becomes conversation. The three artists fuel off each others’ creative energy. These compositions have been performed live in five different shows in Germany, before the band decided to produce this into an album. This album was recorded live over a weekend at the No’Watt Studio in MönchenGladbach, Germany.
