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.
A beautiful, haunting, emotional and loving theme played on Indian flute with soft pads. Atmospheric, evocative and ethereal.
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.
After a brief Arabic vocal chant introduction, a low drone segues into a fast-paced, exciting and intense track that fuses middle-eastern indigenous instruments and exotic electronica with a driving pulsating beat. Good for international intrigue.

This piece moves through various sections of chinese inspired ambient and rhythmic music. Some melodic elements (Chinese main theme), but also some sections with just background ambience and Chinese percussion.
A dark and ominous piece with heavy use of the Taiko drum and japanese/chinese Gong. No melody, all percussion. Chase scene, etc. Full mix.
A soft, ethereal and dreamy ambient track featuring swirling pad textures and Indian Sarangi guitar. Atmospheric, evocative and ethereal. Great for travel, adventure, reflection and world discovery.
Nice and pleasant traditional Flamenco, performed on Spanish guitar with percussion.
Simple hand drums rhythm, drone guitar, and piccolo flute in a celtic inspired groove.
