Ross Daly, at a very early age, discovered that music was, in his own words, “the language of my dialogue with that which I perceive to be sacred”. This dialogue eventually led him to the great modal traditions of the "Middle East", Central Asia, and the Indian Subcontinent where he finally found the musical archetypes that he had been searching for all his life.

In these traditions, he encountered music which was not merely a vehicle of self-expression, but which was able to take one beyond what one normally perceived to be the boundaries of one’s self into other realms of experience.
