Vak: Song of Becoming is an inter-disciplinary musical piece by Ann Dyer that explores the profound impact sound — and particularly voice — has on our experience of being. Inspired by the ancient Indian goddess Vak who creates the world through sound vibration, Vak: Song of Becoming calls on yogic sound philosophies and practices originally used for seeking Realization to create a immersive concert experience that arouses our awareness of self and our connection to others: a modern musical awakening.
