It has been a while since I wrote an update. Since the begining of the new year some cool things have been happening. A couple of releases featuring my music have hit the streets and the dwnload universe. I finally finished the album I had been working on with Anoushka and it is to be released later in the year. Anoushka and I spent time over the past year composing and producing some of the most challenging and cutting edge music either of us have been involved...we are very exited. I will include more details very soon...... I also created an ambient remix for Vieux Farka Toure who is a groundbreaking new artist from Mali. I did a cover of the Polices "Spirits In the Material World" which is the first track on one of the coolest CDs Six Degrees has ever put out. It is called Backspin and featured many of the best Six Degrees Artists covering classics they grew up listening and being influenced by....featuring Niyaz doing the Cure's "Love Song", Midival Punditz doing Zeppelins "Four Sticks", Banco Degai doing Floyd's "Echoes" and Shrift doing the Beach Boys classic "God ONly KNows".......It is worth checking out. Also check out the new MP remix CD which featured remixes by myself, the punditz, Jayant and some of the finest psychadelic remixers around.......
Highlight shows this year have been SF Worldly last month with DR Das (Asian Dub Foundation), Cheb I Sabbah and Janaka Selektah....also DJing at Cosm (Temple Of Sacred Mirrors) to an amazing psy crowd while Alex Grey proceeded to paint another masterpiece. Another great show was a live show I played with Vishal Vaid and a group of killer NYC musicians in Tribute to the great Nustrat Fateh Ali Khan.

I have recently been collaborating with legendary guitar wizard Gary Lucas both on some compositions and a new live show...we will be getting up with Vish and Yosi Fine this Saturday at Joes Pub for a long overdue jam.

I will also be heading to India next week to score a great film called Ode which was written by LA native Ghalib Dhalia.....and Directed by Neil Lahiri

I am sure I forgot some things...but this is the best update I can give at this time...
hope to hear from you all soon.
thanks
