about nada soma

-
nada soma is an evolving project exploring sound, deep listening and tea as spaces for restoration, reconnection and presence.
founded by Will and James, the project creates opportunities to slow down and listen more deeply through immersive sound, tea and simple acts of attention. drawing from contemplative and spiritual traditions alongside contemporary artistic practice, each experience is approached with openness, allowing it to unfold naturally rather than following a prescribed path.
Will
of Māori-European heritage, Will is a musical artist, certified hatha yoga teacher and ceremonial tea facilitator. his practice explores mindfulness and embodiment through sound, rhythm, tea and an attentiveness to the body and environment.
James
drawing from his Punjabi heritage and a lifelong relationship with music, James is a multi-instrumentalist, sound artist and producer. his practice brings together acoustic instrumentation, electronic sound, field recording and improvisation, informed by his studies in music production and sound design alongside meditation, breathwork, nada yoga and Eastern philosophy.
TaraTara joined nada soma as a multidisciplinary artist, bringing a visual dimension to the evolving practice. her work explores the spaces between the visible and unseen, informed by spiritual philosophy and the patterns and structures found within the natural world.
working across painting, mixed media and design, she is particularly drawn to sacred geometry and the relationship between our inner and outer worlds. her experience across galleries, exhibitions, creative projects and digital media continues to shape her contribution to nada soma.
together, Will, James and Tara guide nada soma as an evolving artistic practice, each contributing through their own disciplines and perspectives.

sound
our sound spaces draw on the ancient practice and philosophy of nada yoga, using sound, vibration and ambience to support deep relaxation, nervous system regulation and inner reflection.
traditional and ancient acoustic instruments blend live with thoughtfully sculpted sound production, natural field recordings and deep electronic exploration. woven together, they create immersive sound spaces that gently guide you into stillness, presence and deep listening.
the intention is to experience sound not only as something we hear, but as something we feel. an invitation into subtlety, to slow down, dissolve into stillness and reconnect with the moment.
teaprepared in the traditional gongfu cha style using authentic Chinese teas and teaware, our tea practice honours the quiet depth and lineage of tea.
tea can be shared ceremonially or in a more relaxed setting, creating space to slow down, connect and notice what is present. it can be experienced on its own or woven together with live sound for a deeper sensory experience.
whether shared simply or in ceremony, tea offers an invitation into presence, reflection and the experience of sharing something together.
