Excerpts from the new album:

1. Kaladhar - excerpt mp3

Mainly instrumental, this piece opens with a melody sung in sargam (Indian equivalent of solfege) and moves through three different metres: 6/8, 4/4 and 7/8.

2. Muralila - excerpt mp3

This piece is inspired by the Gnawa music of Morocco and sung to Krishna in Hindi:
"O beautiful Dweller of the forest, dance, sing, and play your flute."

3. Thai Sunrise - excerpt mp3

Beginning in a slow and subtle polyphony, this instrumental composition in a 5 beat cycle ends with a climactic conversation between the erhu and guitar.

4. Common Ground - excerpt mp3

Combining elements of Bengali, Chinese, and African music, the piece speaks of unity in diversity.
