2019 saw the ITV flagship prime-time TV series, Beecham House, written and directed by Gurinder Chadha which Pruess co-composed with EMMY Award winning composer Natalie Holt.
Aishwarya Rai was again the big star in Pruess's further film score project, The Mistress of Spices,[1] directed by Paul Mayeda Berges, which was released in the UK and India early 2006.
In 2007, he formed another world fusion ambient music band, At-Ma, with singer Russell Stone and tabla player Tom Simenauer; they give concerts in the UK and Europe, headlining the Warsaw Philharmonic in November 2010.
Featuring energetic Brazilian rhythms and tribal percussion layers, along with a filmic, hard-hitting music score, the programme itself became part of the police investigation in Brazil.
In late 2011, Pruess completed his third art film soundtrack for her, "Yellow Patch", charting the origins of the migration of the Gujarati people from Kutch, India, to East Africa.
Pruess has performed sitar concerts for Prince Charles (at his home at Highgrove for a personal concert), the Dalai Lama (large event at the Houses of Parliament, London), Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (founder of the Art of Living Foundation), in Copenhagen, Denmark and then Zagreb, Croatia, and then at the huge World Culture Festival, Olympic Stadium, Berlin, Germany in July 2011).
He has taught these valuable programmes at the headquarters of British Aerospace and introduced the Art of Living knowledge to many musicians, film directors, thinkers and teachers.
He originally studied physics and philosophy at MIT in Boston, and after leaving the USA, lived in Kenya, where he was a full-time member of the teaching staff at the East African Conservatoire of Music in Nairobi.
The Ganda Foundation creates films and documentaries and holds fundraising concerts in Europe, and the work of the organisation has directly benefited hospitals and schools in Uganda.
