PROJECTS / DEVOTIONAL WORK IN PROGRESS
Here’s what
I’m working on.
Everything in my studio flows from one center: a long-term devotional album bringing together the Vijñāna Bhairava and Lorin Roche’s Radiance Sutras, modernized kirtan chants, the Kabbalah Revealed series, and interactive apps like the Sanskrit Varṇamālā Weave—all shaped as a reciprocal Bhakti flow of love between my heart and the Universe.
Vijñāna Bhairava & Radiance Sutras Album
My primary long-term project: rooted in the final parts of the Upaniṣads (where the gaze turns from exterior ritual to the interior Self) and the first teachings of Kashmir. Using my Tonal Voice as a guide, I am re-recording all the vocals, guitar parts, and Native American flute in a simpler, more beautiful devotional format.
Kirtan & the Bhakti Love Flow
More than a decade ago, Craig from the Colorado Kirtan Society gave me permission to modernize his songs. I’m weaving that devotional kirtan material together with the Sanskrit syllables of the Bhairava—sending love out to the Universe and receiving love back in every chant.
A YouTube welcome and goodbye
I’m building my channel and learning the opening Welcome to Tony Jaynes Studio song and the outro. The memory of The Lawrence Welk Show’s closing song inspired the feeling of a familiar musical farewell.
Apps for the way I practice
Twenty-two interactive tools—from the 50-letter Sanskrit Varṇamālā Weave and Native F# Flute companion to rhythm, harmony, and vocal trainers—built to serve the devotional practice.
ROOM FOR OTHER VOICES
I’d like to make
this with other people.
I want to welcome other people’s influences and build community around bringing this music to life. If a song, an instrument, or a tool here sparks an idea, I’d like to hear it.
