About Album
This album came as a revelation after a long period of hibernation. The whole universe channeled through me in musical language. This delivery happened in the Heart where there is No Mind.
The album has various range of music from Gypsy rhythms to Indian rhythms, Middle Eastern scales to funky melodies, meditative to dance music. This album is an invitation to have a journey from the state of no mind to gypsy vibes, from Indian spirituality to Middle Eastern spirituality, from funky music to aboriginal music.
You will listen to different kinds of instruments from Middle Eastern Drums (Darbuka, Bendir) to Aboriginal Didgeridoo, Bass Guitar to Sitar, Violin to Middle Eastern Nay. You will discover diverse aspects of World Music with unique musical touches.
