Shabda is the basic unit of sound from which the world is shaped according to the main Indian darsanas, and the creation root of each mantra.

Deep listening and repetition are the keys around which the identity of the project is built, and the channel to direct the search for timeless and spaceless dimension of being. Ideally channeling Marco Castagnetto and Anna Airoldi spiritual research, supported by guitars from cultural saboteur Riccardo Fassone, Shabda explores the fil rouge that holds the Tradition in Tantric Shaivam Indian currents, Taoist and Occidental alchemy, Tibetan Lamaism, Sufism and the Fourth Way as theorized by Gurdjieff.
According to Terry Riley, tradition is only "what works", and it exists as a result of constant experimentation devoid of dogmas and easy morality.

Combining obsessive doom riffs and traditional indian melodies on ambient frames, Shabda produces slow, repetitive, trance-inducing music that will delight fans of Earth, Popol Vuh and La Monte Young.
