Monad is a metaphysical concept of creation and spiritual force. The big bang, proposed by Lemaître in 1931 is our model of the formation of the material universe. The monad is the corresponding model of origin of the conscious universe.
Soriah is a force of nature. He has mastered Tuvan throat singing.
We might not know of Tuva but for the obsession of physicist Richard Feynman who planned to visit there, but was frustrated by visa problems. Feynman was one of the great Nobel fundamental physicists who contributed quantum electrodynamics, a building block for experimental work on the big bang theory.
Soriah did visit Tuva many times to study, despite visa obstacles, and ultimately won throat singing championships in Tuva where he has a new family.
He performs only a few times a year here. Tonight he performs The Monad, an improvised soundscape.
Proceeds will help bring his 3 year old son on his first visit to the US.
He has a channel if you are unfamiliar with his music.
Doors 9PM. Dance night begins about 10:45, The Monad is somewhere in between.
