NIDRA is a live performance for electric guitar and video exploring the concept of the sleep-like state experienced by yogis during extended meditations. The concert features guitarist Giacomo Baldelli together with original video productions by OOOPStudio. NIDRA is a meditation, a lucid sleeping where the human being gets step by step aware of himself as entity made of flesh and bone, a body, but also made of a consciousness, dreams, thoughts – even dark. The end of this sort of mental journey is the waking up of the human being, now ready to face the world.

"A new music tour de force for the electric guitar featuring video"—The New York Times

Nidra, a 60-minute performance for electric guitar and video, is a multi-sensory meditation on the dichotomies of the internal and external, the subconscious and the conscious, dreams and reality.
