In this session, Atman opens up about his Spiritual Journey through Rhythm and how as Musicians, the gateway to healing is available, yet not being tapped with Purity and intentionality in Mainstream Music.

He has also busted some aspects of 'Sound healing' that are gaining a lot of popularity in the New Age Spiritual practices.

About Atman

Since his birth Atman has been exposed to music as there were many Gypsy musicians in his neighbourhood. He always enjoyed sound of drums, especially sound of “Davul”. Once he started to have music lessons in the school, he was confused by music theory and challenged by conceptual barriers of traditional music education.

At the age of 20, he finally started his musical journey by grabbing a guitar. After a year, he realised his burning desire for drums. As it was inconvenient to buy a drum-kit and learn it from the scratch, he bought a percussion instrument called “Darbuka”, which was very well-known in Turkey and played mainly by Gypsy musicians. Before he started to learn Darbuka, he was biased by the instrument. He thought of Darbuka as an instrument for Bellydance played by Gypsies.

However, when he came across Master Misirli Ahmet, his whole idea about Darbuka has changed. Since then it has become a love affair and a spiritual journey for him. He started learning Darbuka like many other beginners by Youtube videos. After a few years of struggle, he got his first teacher in Istanbul. He learned main basic techniques of Darbuka from his first teacher. Till he met Master Misirli Ahmet in person, Atman has mainly focused on the main basic techniques of Darbuka for 8 years.

At the end, he realised the stagnation in his music journey. Once he met the master, he understood that he is still a beginner in terms of rhythm and music. That meeting was a turning point in his music life. Since that meeting he has started to focus on rhythmical elements of percussion such as timing. He realized how important is the musicality of rhythm and it is far more important than mastering the technique.

Therefore, he contemplated upon unveiling secrets of rhythm and focused on digesting timing very well.
