Eljay Arem is doing his >stuff< like he did it the last 4 decades of life:
"Keeping on the edge, overtapping borders of life many different times."
Another one, a new project since 11/2005 concretely is "IMC OnAir", the unique all years programme for Indian (Music) culture, currently focussing onto Indian Classical Music (ICM), so called Hindustani you will find on the German and English site www.imcradio.net .
Maybe on the first moment it looks for you dusty, old fassioned how a 43 year young guy can focus onto Classical Music from South Asia. But let's tell you, how I see it: Hindustani is cool, it is more than cool, it is unusual, it is awesome and has a dimension, most people cannot imagine unless you moved into this cosmos of values, ethics, moral ...

Hindustani isn't entertainment, never has been and never will be. Inspite you might get an impression by the Bollywood hipe swapping around the globe. But that's not the real spirit of India. That's a commercial break through of some mighty Industrial Moghuls.
Some facts about the music stile of North India: Hindustani is the eldest music system in the world, more than 4000 years old or young, as you like to see it. Still today some of the basic elements have survived, isn't this keeping young in mind and in an open spirit ?
What kind of unique substance must have such a music system to survive till nowadays ?? - No other music style which has such a tremendious influence on most of all music styles in the world you can listen and you like to listen.
The so called "World Music" is nothing just a double pack of words. Inside Western culture Americans, Europeans etc. ... like to decorate their fashionable sounds of Pop, Folk by snoring sitar, tanpuras (drone) or tabla beats. That's stupid and nonsense. So first lets walk back to the roots of that kind of music we all come from ... and follow the path trackers of genius musicians, music maestroes of today who have a keen influence onto every kind of music we love.
Did you know, that one of the greatest still living heroes of Indian Classical Music, the uncomparable Ali Akbar Khan on the Sarod is the composer of the film music "The little Buddha". Yes, it is. Did you know that Dr. L. Subramaniam, an unique maestro on the violin, was the co-composer of "Little Buddha" (plus Grammy Award in 1981 for his album 'Fantasy With Truth' and the composer of Mississippi Masala, Salaam Bombay, Cotton Mary). That's the truth. Indian musicians are not old fashion, they aren't less cool as some unique persons of our time hinstory, even more cool to keep the balance between tradition and modernity. If you can answer all these questions with yes, probably you can give me a huge impact of knowledge about Indian Music for my radio shows. Otherwise, listen carefully to my monthly broadcasting, better the music it is presented to your ears by the leading Indian maestros... and by guarantee you will enter into a new world of life philosophy, walking through the gate for understanding what music is and really can be for your personal life. Indian Classical Music is much more than spirituality, OM, Yoga or this in the Western world fashinable esotheric things, if you begin to understand, which means, if you begin really to listen in it's truth to Indian Music you will understand what's the dimension of your personal life in this universe. Indian Classical Music will help you to heal your soal, studies of modern neuro sciences clearly demonstrate it's different you listen with your MPEG player to noisy stuff, which seems to give you a peaceful mind, it is not. Try it on your own and you will move onto a level of listening you never supposed you would be able to. Even you will understand more clearly the Western music styles from Barock (Old Music), Opera, Pop and Jazz.
My radio show - the unique all years programme for ICM in the whole German language area - herefore is the key for this huge gate you can enter through to start your own journey of a new way of listening. Hereby be patient with yourself. It will take time to understand what "Ghandarva Veda" and the basic form of Indian Classical Music, the raga-s mean in it's substance. Just listen carefully, 3 months, 6 months, one year and you will be able to re-new yourself as a human being, embedded in a world, which already is more than globalized. You will be able to create a new self understanding within an univesal rulership, Indian Classical Music already follows thousands of years. Try it now, today by using modern technologies, we have available by Internet and mobile ... and get access to IMC OnAir's PodCasts, cost free !
Enjoy the beautyness of Indian culture and please ... give me a response about your personal experiences to share it worldwide in the community of carefully listeners, keeping in touch with your self and each other ... healing the world !

[Bearbeiten] IMC OnAir's Concept
Hamburg, in September 2005
"IMC - India meets Classic" was launched in February 2005 as a promotion initiative. Yehudi Menuhin was impressed during some different journeys through India, as he described in his autobiography (Unfinished journey - life memory, 1997): “The Indian music experienced melodically and rhythmically a refinement long time before, the western music only may assign a suggestion with few compositions.”
Menuhin’s experience will be arranged by the transmission concept of "IMC - India meets Classic" presenting a maintenance and information programme on radio starting from spring 2006 on during the next twelf month. The milestones...
[Bearbeiten] Policy of IMC OnAir
Validity: melody (sound) - topics - tradition...
The IMC transmission follows the trend radio is deliberating itself upon the spoken word... with music examples, which show the typical sound picture (nada) of Indian Classical Music, monthly presentation of original CD productions, festival reports (special transmission) and a live production (“night of ragas”), supplemented by informative text contributions, e.g.: about the music system Ghandarva Veda, the 4000 years old music history of India, instruments and biographies of Indian music masters (Pandit, Ustad).
Targets: The IMC transmission likes to be understood as a paedagogical offer with high educational values, contributed for an intercultural dialogue between India and Europe.
Professor Dr. H. Regner (university professor and teacher at the Orff Institute of the University of Mozarteum in Salzburg (Austria), today author about musical education) refers to the "importance of geting (at an early stage of life) in contact with music". IMC wants to quote in part Regner’s philosophy, which is in accordance to the sense of so called "Oneness" (= harmony/unity) of the Indian Classical Music.
Professor Dr. Hermann Regner (s.a. Siebingers Stadtnotizen): "... important for listening music and making music is the own nature of mankind, which begins to swing, the human soul is being touched by music … Only some few people exist, wo are satisfied with this world. Many think, many work on to change themselves ... It is time that only the >whole human being<, who harmonizes thinking, feeling and acting, has the chance to survive. The absence of human feeling resonance makes our world cold and uninhabitable. Music is not of a magic charm. But it is a medium, in which humans holistic can express themselves, in which they practice to bring heart, hand and head in interaction."
IMC OnAir believes in the sense of Regner, that Indian Classical Music can carry out the contribution to life in a special measure by it’s originality, keeping alive the characteristics (as so called 'healing music '). A blurring by music of the style Yoga/mediation sounds, world music, modern jazz or the Bollywood film industries, will be avoided under the label of IMC - India meets Classic.
