Traditional wedding music fom The Kangra region of Himachal Pradesh in India. The instruments used are the Pipdi - a reed blowing instrument some what similar to the Shenai used in other regions of India (Played by Mangal Ram from Bir Village), and the Nagara Drums - similar to the nagras in the plains (these are very old pieces) they are made of metal with skin stretched on the playing surface. The skin is tightened with straps that weave into the edge of the skin and meet at the centre bottom of the drums. Two drums are placed opposite each other and the drummer plays them with a cross stick action. The drummer here is Jondu Ram (father of Mangal Ram.) Please note: This is a genuinely live, on-the-spot recording, and as such, there may be slight flaws in the performance and recording.
A trip to the south-east of Asia, in Thailand or Cambodia's Temple. Praying the Buddha. Monk, religious, chakra, karma. Mysterious, ethnic, spatial and suspense. A bit hypnotic bell.In this track you go inside to the soul of Asia.
Ethnic percussion with gong, gamelan and bells.
A dense confused evolving soundscape with an Asiatic flavor.
A dramatic saxophon cries over an ever evolving lonely drone escape, pad with bells and contemporary filmic sound design. A pitiful vibe of reflection expectation and uncertainty is in the air. "What will we do now?". Loss and sadness ends in a crescendo of confusion and panic.

An exotic, haunting Indian vocal track sung for us by highly renowned Indian female singer Vidya Rao, whom we feel privileged to have worked with on this track. Her sorrowful singing/chanting in the alaap is as atmospheric as it is emotional, and is accompanied by a clean jazz guitar, joined by jazzy drums and bass at around 1 min 45 secs. Alaap literally means introduction and it is traditionally used by an Indian singer who goes through many permutations in the notes of a raag finally resting on the tonic and then nods at the tabla player to set the rhythm. A smooth blend of the traditional and the modern, of the East and the West. Great for use in travel and adventure, chill-out and exotic moods.
