Music has run alongside meditation and writing as one of the three main threads of Prashant Trivedi’s work since LotusOcean began — composed, produced, and performed largely by Trivedi himself.

LotusOcean’s music catalogue does not fit neatly into a single genre. It spans meditative pieces recorded in natural outdoor settings, full-band rock performances, and improvisational jams — a deliberately wide range that Trivedi treats as different expressions of the same underlying practice.

Composed for Experience, Not Just Listening

Rather than producing standalone audio tracks, LotusOcean frames its music as audio-visual work — recordings paired with film of the settings they were made in, often outdoors and in direct contact with the natural landscape. The intent, according to LotusOcean’s own materials, is to create an immersive experience rather than background listening.

This approach connects the music back to the same principles behind LotusOcean meditation: presence, connection with nature, and awareness extended outward rather than inward in isolation.

Presented as audio-visual coherence experiences, these musical works support (w)holistic well-being and encourage expanded awareness.

Where the Work Is Recorded

Sessions have been filmed in a range of outdoor settings, from mountain landscapes to open fields, reflecting LotusOcean’s broader emphasis on natural environments over studio production. The resulting films are released as part of an extensive, ongoing catalogue rather than as occasional singles.

The scale of the archive is part of what distinguishes it: LotusOcean’s YouTube channel hosts a large and continually growing body of these recordings, spanning many years of work.

Part of a Larger Body of Work

The music sits alongside Trivedi’s writing — including his books on Vedic astrology — and the meditation practice he teaches, forming a single body of work under the LotusOcean name rather than separate, unrelated projects.

For newcomers, the music is often the most immediate entry point: a way to encounter LotusOcean’s approach to presence and connection with nature before going further into the books or the meditation sessions themselves.

Conclusion

The LotusOcean music catalogue continues to grow, with new recordings released across the group’s official channels. More on the philosophy behind the work is covered in the full story behind LotusOcean.
