Sample some from his Sufi Dreams from San Francisco's label
Golden Horn Records
"It
has always been my belief that music is the most powerful
language, not only of the human soul but of the whole of
creation. As a Sufi, I believe that the world started with
a single sound and everything - the trees, the flowers,
our bodies, the golden glow of a sunbeam and even the air
we breath - is nothing but vibrations."
