CaDra is a studio project around producer rakenDra Smit and multi-instrumentalist/singer Caroline Beukenkamp.
In their sound studio in Amstelveen, in the Netherlands, they play and experiment with sounds, vocals, instruments, song structures and words from all over the world.

Their mystic popmusic seduces the listener to open up. The music, though, is only an excuse to guide the listener towards the end of it, towards the fade-out. The fade-out is a very important element in their music. They take great care in letting a song disappear very smoothly into the big silence.

In the East they have a certain meditation practice which is called the 'Temple-Bell Meditation'. Early in the morning the monks keep their attention fixed to the decaying sound of a temple bell. These bell sounds last very long and when the last subtle overtone dies out, that's the moment..., that's when you can dissolve in Sunyata, in a state of bliss beyond fear.
