Adham Shaikh's Dreamtree Project

The Dreamtree Project is an Indian dub fusion collective weaving a magic carpet ride of classical Indian raga afloat a dub cloud of swirling tabla, mystical flute, spacey beats and booming bass lines. Beyond notions of East meets West, the Dreamtree Project conjures a space for all who long to be seduced by the power of music and communal enlightenment.


Mystical! Although not seen during the performance, these golden balls appeared in each of the photos when developed.

The Dreamtree Project includes Adham Shaikh who has been producing music for 18 years with a keen ear towards world music, weaving the sounds of India, Bali, Australia, Africa, Jamaica, the Middle East, Slovakia, Scandinavia, Turkey, and North America, into all aspects of his production.

The Dreamtree Project also features sitar virtuoso Uwe Neumann and tabla player Shankar Das. After studying classical and jazz guitar in Germany for 14 years, Uwe moved to India where he lived and studied with sitar Maestro Pandit Indranil Bhattacharya, receiving both bachelor and master degrees on sitar from Indian University in Shantiniketan. Shankar Das studied with the legendary Alla Rakha and Zakir Hussain, almost twenty years ago and has since become a master percussion. Flauist Marty Carter completes the quartet.
