Yes Yes Yaaal!!! It is time for me to talk a little bit about the upcoming and long awaited release of my new album collaboration with Anoushka Shankar called "Breathing Under Water". It will be released Aug 28/07 on EMI/Manhatten Records, so we have decided to start talking about it now.
This album has taken both of us into uncharted worlds as musicians, composers and producers over the past year and a half. We both spent some time together writing new songs and pieces on sitar and acoustic guitar, respectively. We then took this material into collaborations with super producer Gaurav Raina aka Groovio (Midival Punditz) and Salim Merchant (Bollywood IT composer) to bring them to life. We worked and created music with Sting, Pandit Ravi Shankar, Norah Jones , Noah Lembersky, Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Shankar Mahadevan and a host of other killer musicians from India and the west to complete our story. The album passed through every stylistic doorway with careful attention to the traditional repetuar. Breathing Under Water spreads its wings wide to handle a journey through orchestral film music from east and west to psychodelic electronica to fusion to traditional rock and beyond.
An official release and myspace site will launch in a week or so, but in the meantime, I wanted to put the word out to you....my friends.....we will be uploading samples of the album , bio and sample pics of what is to come soon.... I just wanted to start the buzz on the ground floor.....Be on the look out for everything....and spread the word
