the sound is in the heart of the listener
the silence is ever present in the sound
because without silence there is no sound

Sound and Silence is a project of a romanian artist, Bogdan Bufnea, that creates immersive soundscapes with resonant instruments.Bogdan considers himself a storyteller.
Silence, time, space, rhythm, pulsations, timbre and echoes are his companions and the colors on the vast canvas of his artistic expression.As a practitioner of Kashmiri Shaivism (Swami Laskhmanjoo lineage) and Zen Buddhism (Rinzai lineage) since more than 12 years, Bogdan incorporates his gifts from this practices into the sound work to bring the listener to a more profound and meaningful experience.Big gongs, antique singing bowls (collection of around 200 antique bowls), tibetan trumpets, burmese bells, orin temple bells are some of the instruments that will give the audience a different perspective about how the sound travels, affects the environment and the listener's body and mind.

The sound always will tell you a story.But how do you listen to the story?
Do you make any judgements and interpretations?
Do you feel the sound or do you imagine it?When you deeply listen, the sound can bring you into the space of the heart. There you can meet the sound in the purest form.It becomes a silent story that is the most familiar.
The sound of the himalaya and beyond
