Books & Literature
The written word as gateway to the wordless. These texts form the philosophical bedrock beneath Aham Vadh's sonic experiments.
Before there was sound, there was silence. Before there was music, there was the question. The books gathered here represent decades of inquiry into the nature of self, consciousness, and reality. They are the conceptual scaffolding that supports our creative exploration.
Aham Vadh: the slaying of "I" emerges not from theory alone but from lived engagement with these ideas. The music you hear is an attempt to translate these insights from the page into pure visceral experience, from concept into raw sensation. Where words end, sound begins. Where philosophy meets the body, transformation becomes possible.
These are not recommendations but rather an honest accounting of the intellectual lineage that shapes our work. Ancient wisdom texts sit alongside contemporary neuroscience, Jungian psychology beside quantum mysticism. The method is eclectic, the intention singular: to dissolve the illusion of separation between knower and known.
