Padma : Song For An Entryphone

Padma "Song For An Entryphone" Released 15th September 2008

Padma hails from a small suburban town near Sheffield, but now lives in Brighton. He has been a practicing Buddhist for over 10 years, eventually deciding on a life of making music rather than joining a Buddhist Order. The result is the beautiful, subtle and thought provoking songs contained on his debut album, Here.

Padma's new digital EP, Song For An Entryphone, represents the more reflective and haunting side of the album, with a delicate vocal and evocative melody. The song is about how two people can be physically very close, but emotionally miles apart. The B-sides are the full length version of Waiting For Dolma and a cover of Malvina Reynolds' upbeat lament of suburbia, Little Boxes.

Padma on Western politics:
The late Capitalist system is incapable of nourishing the individuals who live within it. It is simply not designed for that purpose. Given its self-centred, fragmented, and short term focus, and its incessant need to generate ever-new markets, it seems obvious too that this model is not ideally suited to tackling the impending environmental crisis.

Padma on Buddhism:
I might be on a mountain, washing the dishes in my outdoor kitchen, but fundamentally I'm still just washing the dishes. It is in these moments - the vast majority of one's life - that Buddhist practice shows its worth, by revealing the subtle magnificence of the everyday. Bliss in the check out queue. Tranquility on the tube.
