Pashyanti [Sanskrit: the junction point between the ordinary waking state and pure consciousness] 
 
Scottish guitar virtuoso and “musical alchemist” (World Music Report) Simon Thacker returns to the Made In Scotland showcase with one of the most powerful performance films of recent years, featuring special guest dancer Aishwarya Raut (Rambert). Simon draws on a deep lifelong immersion in diverse cultures and an array of pioneering experiences to offer a revelatory new vision for the art of solo guitar. Aishwarya stunningly embodies the music, with daring physicality and infinite nuance in a 34 minute film of enchanting power.
