NIRAV

HELLO

My name is Nirav (नीरव), a Sanskrit word meaning quiet stillness. It’s a name that feels very much at home in the way I live.I live as a contemplative, with a deep appreciation for solitude and a close connection to nature.The handpan has found a natural place in my life. Its music speaks a beautiful, wordless language that carries a sense of connection to something deeper.

FROM STILLNESS
TO SOUND

When I sit with the handpan, its music rises from stillness, speaks in a language that lives beyond words, and gently returns to that stillness.Much of my playing happens quietly in nature, sometimes at small gatherings, and sometimes shared in hospitals, nursing homes, shelters, and prisons. Wherever it’s shared, the music asks nothing of anyone. It’s simply an offering of a little peace, a little connection, and a comforting space to rest in for a while.If you happen to find me playing somewhere, please come over and say hi… you’re more than welcome to stay and enjoy the music for as long as you’d like.From the quiet space within,
Nirav

Coming to Apple Music and Spotify

Ekānta (एकान्त) is a Sanskrit word that means solitude and seclusion. Sometimes being alone can feel peaceful and beautiful. Sometimes life gives us no choice, and that same aloneness can feel like isolation and loneliness.The music on this album comes from Ekānta, from that space of being alone.Like being adrift on an open sea with no control over where we’re going, there are times when we have no choice but to let go and allow ourselves to be carried by something much larger than ourselves.Ekānta is about finding peace in the aloneness and surrendering to the journey without needing to know where it’s taking us.
