Mukti

 

Mukti....an aspiration....
Mukti as defined in Hinduism denotes the end of cosmic life itself. Reaching the stage of Mukti means reaching the stage of salvation as in Buddhism! Mukti is a word coined in Hinduism for liberation. Liberation from the cycle of birth and death forever! Liberation is experienced in this very life as a dissolution of the sense of self as an egoistic personality by which the underlying, eternal, pure spirit is uncovered. This desireless state concludes the yogic path through which conditioned mentality-materiality or nama-roopa (lit. name-form) has been dissolved uncovering one's eternal identity prior to the mind/spirit's identification with material form. Liberation is achieved by (and accompanied with) the complete stilling of all passions — a state of being known as Nirvana.

An aspiration as an artist....
Mukti (Darren Harper) began the journey of a psytrance and ambient dj/producer early in the new millinium as 1/2 of the improvisational ambient/noise duo Holomovement. Mukti's compositional works range from beat-less, environmental ambient to minimal atmospheric trance, and often attempt a merge somewhere inbetween.
