A musician and educator of diverse experience, Branan’s primary passion is the Indian Classical vocal form called Dhrupad, which he learned primarily from Padmashri Ramakant Gundecha. As a solo vocalist he has performed this genre around the world, including to audiences in India (see Performance page). His singing conveys the emotional depth of the Raga tradition whilst celebrating its roots in naad yoga and sacred music.
Branan teaches Indian Classical music, modal improvisation, embodied rhythm and Sacred Voice (see Teaching). He creates soundscapes for meditation, yoga and ceremony and has a love for the Bhakti musical traditions. He lives in Fremantle, Western Australia.
