- Tell us a little about your background...
- As an international and renowned saxophonist, arranger and composer, Rainer Pusch has always been interested in trying out new kinds of music. His spectrum ranges from a jazzy background obtained during his studies at the Berklee College of Music (Boston) to various performances with funk, latin and pop bands over the years. He worked beneath many others with Art Farmer, Horace Parlan, John Betsch, Pony Poindexter. His sudden wish to explore the world of classic South Indian music eight years ago, taking vocal and instrumental lessons from S. Rajaram, the highly respected director and teacher of the Kalakshetra College of Fine Arts, Chennai, as well as other classical teachers such as Madurai G. S. Mani and Selva Ganesh, added yet another style to his musical palette.
After several three to five months stays in Chennai between 1996 and 1998, a two years scholarship from the Indian Council on Cultural Relations enabled him to further deepen his knowledge of South Indian Carnatic music.
Beside his studies in Carnatic music, Rainer Pusch ́s manifold interests brought him to collaborate repeatedly with many famed Indian musicians such as the Mumbai based guitarists Keith
and Karl Peters, with Louis Banks, Dr. Mysore Manjunath, Sivamani or Ranjit Barot within the scope of Indo-Jazz Fusion projects. Further collaborations included recordings with A.R. Rahman and Ramnath Gopalnat as well as many gigs with Ganesh Kumar, Selva Ganesh, Dr. Balamuralikrishnan, and Amit Heri.

Jaijai, what a wonderful mission you've undertaken to create such a place for artistic minds to meet and share their hearts. A place to renew faded determinations, and revive lessened momentums. A place to display our wares and reconfirm to one another that we actually are on the right track.
I commend you, Jaijai, for caring so much that you created this castle of the heart for all of us. I want to share my praise for all of the new friends as well as old friends that I've met and will meet here in our castle. Here we can garnish the where-with-all, the strength, the conviction, and the selflessness through our symbiosis, to share our gift to the world with an unbiased agenda.
My mentor, Daisaku Ikeda says of art: "A beautiful flower delights and refreshes the hearts of all people equally, no matter what soil it grows in. That is the power of beauty. The same is true of great art. It is this spirit that the German poet Heinrich Heine sang of when he wrote that once the peapod bursts open, the sugar peas inside are for everyone to enjoy."
Let's be audacious, my friends!
