THREE… 4 The Music
2010 has been a happening year for me by far. As if, international tours, magnificent stage shows like Nothing But Wind and TV shows were not enough, the year marks yet another milestone for me! My first album, in collaboration with virtuosos, percussionist D.A. Srinivas and violinist Raghavendra Rao, “THREE… 4 The Music”, has been released by Times Group. The album was launched two years back. After three months of toil, we performed it live in September 2008. The show was graced by Dr. Balamuralikrishna. Further to that, the album was released in South Africa, early 2009.
This year, released by Times Group, the album is out in India in retail stores such as Landmark. The album, is a collaborative effort and personally it was an enriching experience working with the two geniuses. “THREE… 4 The Music”, is a semi classical album, that engulfs music forms from around the world and presents them through Indian instruments. Each track has a unique theme around it. For instance, the track, Taste of Irish presents Irish music through our own Indian instruments. This album is our humble effort to present classical form of music in a contemporary style.
I have closely worked with both Sri. D.A Srinivas and Sri. Raghavendra Rao on several projects and we have often concurred in our musical tastes. We drew inspirations from the different music forms that we have been exposed to over the years, and decided that we come together on this album. After several weeks of brainstorming on the themes and compositions, “THREE… 4 The Music” was born and today it stands as a unique album that will remain close to our hearts. The album brings with it, the surprise of many genres and origins of music such as rap, Irish, Persian etc and I feel it will be most fitting to categorize it under the World genre.
I request you all to buy a copy of “THREE… 4 The Music”, give it a listen and come back to me with your feedback.
