As K. Bowers, Director of the Panida Theater, writes: "Atmic Vision was one of the finest concerts ever performed on the Panida stage. The incredibly beautiful music took me deep within, spoke to the core of my being, moving a part of me that I'm not in touch with enough. But I found that as much as I wanted to remain there, I also didn't want to miss the opportunity to watch the musicians play. All masters of their instruments, their precision was engrossing. Not only was the music mesmerizing, but also the ease, familiarity and the perfection in which the instruments were handled, is something to behold. Foreign to the American eye, the tabla, flute and double bass combination played in the traditional Indian way held the audience in reverence.”
