Ektā (Sanskrit for oneness) is a collaborative album exploring spirituality, mindfulness, and our shared humanity through immersive, genre-defying sound. GRAMMY®-winning artist, producer, and composer Antaeus joins forces with Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree Madame Gandhi, internationally acclaimed electronic music collective Café De Anatolia, and ambient music innovator Amani Sol to create a powerful musical journey rooted in compassion, presence, and collective healing.
Blending organic instrumentation with lush electronic textures, Ektā features keyboards by Antaeus, guided meditations, vocals, and percussion by Madame Gandhi, vocals by Alemor, dulcimer by Pete Giatrakus, ney flute by Thanassis Vassilopoulos, violins by Frederika Krier and An Vedi, and sitar by Iasi Ensemble, creating a cinematic and deeply meditative listening experience inspired by ancient wisdom and contemporary sound design.
Engineered by Antaeus alongside GRAMMY®-winning engineers Joe Maldonado, Alex Psaroudakis, and Tony Correlli, Ektā delivers an expansive, emotionally rich sonic landscape designed to inspire peace, mindfulness, and unity—reminding us that, despite our different cultures, beliefs, and backgrounds, we are all one.
“A hypnotic offering that transforms an ancient prayer into an enchanting modern soundscape… exploring spirituality, mindfulness, cultural connection, and collective healing through sound.”
— Lyrical Muse
“A group of artists who trusted a shared idea enough to let their individual styles bend toward it.”
— EDM . com
“EKTĀ uses sound to create an environment in which reflection can take place.”
— Techno Zone
“A meeting point between acoustic instrumentation, spiritual traditions, ambient textures, and contemporary electronic production.”
— CDA Magazine
“A thoughtful and emotionally grounded listening experience that gently invites reflection, calmness, and inner stillness… the kind of song that quietly grows stronger with every listen.”
