Advaita Sophia

This specific group was formed to play music for the movement meditation venue at the CenterPoint Festival in 2006. This unique style of music has been largely influenced by Dan's work with ambient acoustic looping.

Dan Craig-Morse has been using acoustic instruments and looping to create soundscapes in the context of sacred space for a number of years. Using his array of instruments, he has performed the Story of Sophia, an esoteric creation story from the Judeo-Christian Gnostic tradition, which was first presented as his Master's project at the University of Creation Spirituality in Oakland in 1997. He studied classical trumpet for many years and studied santur (hammered dulcimer) at the Akbar College of Indian Music in San Rafael where he met his wife-to-be in 1986. Dan is a psychotherapist with a private practice in Santa Rosa.

Melissa Craig-Morse is recognized for her ability to express Authenticy of the Sacred through her singing. She studied and performed vocal jazz in New York City and majored in classical voice performance at Sonoma State University. She is an adult and children's choir director at the Episcopal Church of the Incarnation in Santa Rosa, where CenterPoint is located.

Bruce Klein is guitarist extraordinaire, proprietor of Earthchild in Sebastopol and rigorous spiritual seeker. He has performed for the past 30 years and has produced an album, "One Soul's Journey". Bruce creates rich psycho-acoustic guitar sounds with transcendental effects.
