ABOUT TONY · KIRTAN BHAKTI LOVE FLOW & PERSONAL LINEAGE

I’m Tony.
Sending love out to the Universe—and receiving love back in sound.

My studio is built around a living Kirtan Bhakti flow—my love flowing out to the Universe, and the Universe sending love back to me. My primary long-term album project centers on the Vijñāna Bhairava and Lorin Roche’s The Radiance Sutras, beginning with the final parts of the Upaniṣads where the perspective turns from outer ritual fire to the interior lamp of consciousness.

I use AI and my cloned Tonal Voice as a creative guide, then bring the stems into Logic Pro where I slow everything down—re-recording the vocals, acoustic and electric guitar parts, and Native American flute in a simpler, more intimate, and more beautiful format.

TIMELINE & LINEAGE · SOUND, BODYWORK & THE TWO PATHS

The Yoga of Sound, 15 years of bodywork,
and balancing Mind & Heart.

2004–2005 · Russill Paul’s Mystery School & The Yoga of Sound: Right around the time Russill Paul’s book The Yoga of Sound came out—and in the year following—I studied Sanskrit and the mysteries of mantra directly with him in his mystery school. That immersion awakened my lifelong devotion to the living vibration of the Sanskrit syllables.

15 Years as a Massage Therapist & Bodyworker: Around that very same time, I entered the healing arts of bodywork and practiced as a massage therapist for 15 years—learning through my hands how sound, breath, and loving awareness release tension and move through the human nervous system.

Jewish Kabbalah & Western Kabbalah — Mind & Heart: Along the way, I also studied both Western Kabbalah and Jewish Kabbalah because I wanted to understand two complementary points of view: one more for the mind (the sacred architecture and Sephirotic pathways of the Tree of Life) and one more for the heart (Sanskrit mantra, kirtan, and the Bhakti love flow).

UPANIṢADS TO FIRST KASHMIR · APPS & COMMUNITY

Where the exterior fire
turns inward to the heart.

What fascinates me most in the final chapters of the Upaniṣads is the moment the teaching shifts from exterior ritual to the interior point of view—leading directly into the 112 Kashmiri meditations of the Vijñāna Bhairava, Swami Lakshmanjoo’s oral lineage, the 50-letter Varṇamālā Weave, and The Radiance Sutras.

CHAPTER 01 · EARLY ROOTS & LIFELONG RHYTHM

Music Becomes the Physical Foundation.

From the very beginning, music was never just content to release—it was a way to feel time physically in the body, tell stories, connect with people, and keep developing an honest human voice. Writing, drumming, playing guitar, bass, and flutes, and performing taught me that rhythm and resonance must be lived in the hands and breath before they are analyzed on paper.

CHAPTER 02 · ACTING, SCENE WORK & LINE REHEARSAL

Acting, Character Subtext & Living the Spoken Line.

Alongside music, my real-life journey includes a deep love for acting, dramatic storytelling, monologue study, and scene rehearsal—learning how to inhabit a character’s given circumstances, subtext, motivation, and action verbs until every spoken line feels honest and unforced. That lifelong practice of rehearsing scripts, audition sides, multi-character dialogue cues, and song lyrics line-by-line is what directly inspired me to build our interactive Acting & Lyrics Line Rehearsal App and our 4K dramatic series, The Language of Light.

CHAPTER 03 · 2004–2005 · SANSKRIT & SACRED MANTRA

Russill Paul’s Mystery School & The Yoga of Sound.

Right around the time Russill Paul’s book The Yoga of Sound came out—and in the year following—I studied Sanskrit and the mysteries of mantra directly with him in his mystery school. That immersion awakened my lifelong devotion to the 50-letter Sanskrit Varṇamālā and how sacred syllables vibrate across the five anatomical resonance zones of the mouth.

CHAPTER 04 · 2005–2020 · 15 YEARS OF HEALING TOUCH

15 Years as a Massage Therapist & Bodyworker.

At that very same turning point in 2005, I entered the healing arts of bodywork and practiced as a massage therapist for 15 years. Working hands-on for a decade and a half taught me directly how vibration, breath, rhythm, and loving presence release tension and move through the human nervous system.

CHAPTER 05 · DEVOTIONAL COMMUNITY & BHAKTI

The Colorado Kirtan Society & Returning to the Songs.

More than a decade ago, Craig from the Colorado Kirtan Society gave me permission to work with his devotional kirtan songs in a modern studio format. Those melodies stayed in my heart for years, eventually becoming a bridge back to daily Bhakti practice—sending love out to the Universe and receiving love back in sound.

CHAPTER 06 · TWO COMPLEMENTARY POINTS OF VIEW

Western & Jewish Kabbalah (Mind) Alongside Kirtan & Mantra (Heart).

Along my journey, I studied both Western Kabbalah and Jewish Kabbalah (Etz Chaim, the Tree of Life, Sefer Yetzirah, and the Zohar) alongside Sanskrit mantra and kirtan. I wanted to understand two complementary doorways: one that illuminates the architecture of the mind through sacred geometry and the 10 Sephiroth, and one that opens the heart through devotional sound—meeting at the center in Tiphereth (Beauty and Harmony).

CHAPTER 07 · THE UPANIṢADS TO FIRST KASHMIR

Swami Lakshmanjoo, The Vijñāna Bhairava & Lorin Roche’s Radiance Sutras.

Following the pivot at the end of the Upaniṣads where outer ritual fire turns inward into the lamp of consciousness, I created our two-volume studio album project and interactive weave around the 112 Kashmiri meditations of the Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra—anchored to Swami Lakshmanjoo’s oral Kashmiri lineage and Dr. Lorin Roche’s The Radiance Sutras.

CHAPTER 08 · TEACHING & BUILDING DIGITAL TOOLS

Building All 33 Interactive Browser Apps for Daily Practice.

Retired from work—not from music or acting—I built the 33 interactive web tools I needed in my own daily practice: from the Acting & Lyrics Line Rehearsal App, DrumPhonics, Djembe Groove Tutor, and CAGED Mastery Trainer to the Concert Silver Flute & Native American F♯ Flute Companions and the 50-letter Sanskrit Varṇamālā Weave.

CHAPTER 09 · LEARNING IN PUBLIC TODAY

Cloned Voice Reference, Live Stem Sessions & The Language of Light.

Today, Tony Jaynes Studio brings every thread together: sharing the completed Radiance Sutras and Devotional Kirtan albums generated with my cloned voice, practicing daily inside my own 50-letter Varṇamālā Weave app to master the exact Sanskrit pronunciation, and preparing live YouTube sessions where I solo the separated Logic Pro stems and sing and play the parts live—alongside our 4K YouTube Series, The Language of Light.
