@marincountyfire Great work!

Raag Desh is a beautiful rainy season melody, showing the sweet, celebratory mood of the relief the rains bring - a feeling we are very familiar with here in California!

In creating a video for 'Blossoming' I was reaching for this rush I wanted to express-a rush of the feeling of things coming into life, love, and colour.

The full video is available on my YouTube channel!

Finally, Spring is here!

I’m still really feeling this piece, ‘Blossoming,’ which I released last Spring. How does this make you feel?

This track is streaming on all platforms

Guess the taal - This one is not heard quite as often, but is one I enjoy playing.

Here Debanjan and I are trying something unusual - playing together during the jor section.

We are improvising simultaneously and developing ideas together-similar to sat sangat, but without taal, we have to tune in even more closely.

@aberdeenuni Yes, 'Beyond Disciplines'...Going so far beyond some as to cut them entirely. The world is not fooled by this expensive marketing ploy. #SaveUoALanguages #universityofaberdeen

I hope that everyone is enjoying a few relaxing days before New Year's!

Here is another edition of 'Guess the Raag', from a recent performance. This one may be a bit trickier to guess than last time

@aberdeenuni Most of the recent news stories are missing...conveniently. Perhaps do a Google search for 'University of Aberdeen Language Degrees' if you want a more balanced picture.

Alam Khan, Arjun K. Verma, and Del Sol Quartet's The Resonance Between employs techniques from Hindustani and European art music traditions, but it’s about more than just fusion.
