"PAUSE" is a sound room set up by Jeganathan ,which help clients to relax and distress. The whole process requires the client to lie on a bed in a dark room (sound proof and treated with nanotechnology) and view at a painting while the background music plays. Both the painting and music is done based on the musical notes, sa-ri-ga-ma-pa-tha-ni-sa. The whole process takes 27 minutes and by the time the session is over, the client is relaxed.


For more information on the sound room, read on or contact Ms Jayshree at 012-2879983 for an appointment.

• Have you wondered how life would be if it was just BLACK and WHITE, without SOUND and SMELL?

• Why is the grass green, hair black and sky blue?

• Why do the bees buzz, the cows moo and snakes hiss?

• Why would creation unfold itself into the many colors and sound that we experience around us?

• Why do we call a certain place a ‘red light’ area?

• Why is night dark?

• And why is the color blue related to spirituality?
  

In this project, held at National Art Gallery, Malaysia, Jeganathan answered these questions and explained the relationship of sound and colour with the human body through his informal talk.

Jega giving a talk to the visitors.

"Colour is all around us. Even our body has all the nine colours. Our blood is red, bones are white, veins are blue and bile is yellow and so on."

-Quoted by Jeganathan Ramachandram on the existence of colour

"Ethereal Colours of Sound" is a series of paintings based on chakras. This series is under the collection of Prince Court Medical Center, one of the largest private hospitals in Klang Valley which is located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.



What are chakras? How are these paintings done?

Chakras are vibratory points in the body and each one of us possess a specific dominant chakra within us. Using the veenai, Jeganathan plays the name of a person and identifies his/ her sound pattern. Later, this sound pattern is used to specify the sound chakra of that person. Upon client's request or advice from Jeganathan, this sound chakra is translated into a painting, to suit the client's needs. Chakra paintings, according to Jeganathan, possess healing properties and has the ability to create a positive vibration for the owner.

Jeganathan has a very unique passion for sound. What he means by sound here is not the sound of music, but sound appreciation. "Music is about melodies and lyrics but sound is about emotional patterns, " says Jeganathan. Thus, he does not consider himself as a musician, eventhough he can play the veenai and tambura.

Jeganathan has been conducting studies on sounds and has discovered the points where sounds are produced in the body. Using this, he has done paintings to depict the sounds (pic). For example, he says that the note "sa" starts from the chakra in the stomach and ascends upwards till it reaches the head.

Jeganathan shares this knowledge with his students, both the young and adult through his sound appreciation class which is held every fridays, from 7.00pm to 8.30 pm. He teaches them how to chant basic mantras in the correct manner and to invoke the chakras which helps to create a balance within themselves.
