This project was to record a series of songs written by Jivatman and share them in Auroville and abroad. “Under a magic silver sky” became the name of this album. Participants in the project were Jivatman and Swaha (vocalists) and Holger (arranger).
The recording consisted of 15 original songs in English, French, Portuguese and Spanish.
- Like a simple flower
- Lonesome road
- Un dia (One day)
- When the wind passes by
- Who is leading the dance?
- Feu
- Priere pour ceux qui veulent servir le divin
- Eternos Lacos (Eternal bonds)
- Nu (Naked)
- The time is now
- Ballad of the elusive monster
- Berceuse
- Dance, my heart
- Softly blows the wind
- Cinema celeste (Celestial cinema)
The recording started in October 2015 and finished one month later. The outcome of the recording (the CD itself) was ready – after all the other works involved in the production – only in January 2016. The title given was “Under a magic silver sky” in reference to one of the songs of the album.
Once finalized, the new album of songs was announced in Auroville and made available locally and through the Auroville Online Store. A copy of the CD is also now in the Music Library of Auroville, available to anyone who wants to listen to it.
The songs were also presented in a live concert at Unity Pavilion on January 31st, 2016, with the participation of Jivatman, Swaha, Holger and Nadaprem.

Reflections
It was meaningful for me to work together with such good musicians as Holger and Swaha (for the recording of the songs) and also with Nadaprem, who graciously joined us for the concert. I think the CD came out very well and I received good reviews about it. I’m happy with it as it is.
