Featuring Musicians: Andrew Kim, Denis Franck, Julia Kim        

Andrew Kim – Formerly of Delhi2Dublin, Andrew has studied and performed music in India, Bhutan, Africa, and around the world.  After recording and touring global festivals, he has focused his energies on meditative music. This process has included inventing his own unique musical instruments, which he uses to guide listeners on immersive sound journeys.

Denis Franck – Exploring rhythms using various percussion instruments has been Denis’ focus for the last thirty years. His life changed when he discovered the family of tambourines called "frame-drums". Having studied with various masters of the instrument, he has developed a personal touch based on finger technique, improvisation, and the ongoing desire to create original soundscapes.

Julia Kim – Based between Bhutan and Vancouver, Julia brings meditation and improvised music (electric violin) into interactive programs on leadership development, wellbeing and wellbeing economics. Prior to this, she was based in South Africa and New York, recording and performing with world music group Mondetta and others, while pursuing an interest in international health and development.
