WELCOME !
Thank you so much for visiting!
It's been a year of deep contemplation, of pausing, taking deep breaths and asking questions. And this harvesting the depth within continues to pull, to excite and to lead me to ever more spaces of silence and clarity. For sure, after years of intense creative out-putting, it's felt strange not to be 'making things'... but I have felt blessed by the magic of the space I've allowed myself to melt into over these past months.
You are so very welcome here and I invite you to enjoy exploring my films, music, songs and soundscapes and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to write.
I'd love to hear from you!
Much love
Tanmayo
BAYADERE
Great news! My short film 'Bayadere' starring the wonderful Sandra Jasmin We were delighted it was voted winner in the Best Experimental Film AND Best Musical Score sections of the Feel the Reel International Film Festival in Scotland. It was also voted finalist in both the New Wave Short Film Festival in Munich and the Tokyo International Short Film Festival and was also officially selected for the Toronto Women Film Festival and as semi-finalist in the Munich Music Video awards! It was an amazing creative journey and I learnt so much! So many firsts - first time directing, first time creating a story based short film, first time creating a musical sound track.
poetry - a little taste
“There is a sweeter music still, beyond the pleasures of this world. The peaks and valleys, florals sweet; the sparkling star or joyful brooks have nothing to compare... ...with this heart of blackness, velvet, deep, enveloping ALL. ”
— 'The heart of blackness' - poem excerpt taken from 'In Quietude - meditative poems on soundscapes'

This started off as a passion project to help hone my film making, storytelling and cinematic music composition skills. It then become part of an intense inner process for me - where each film invites me to dig deeper within my own inner world. Below you'll find films about finding a magical flute, travel back to Biblical times and also a little introduction.
