Hello Soundcloud - it's been a while so here's a track from upcoming album, 'Winter Cities' - 'Mercy Cloud' is a conversation about a vulnerability and trust.  Beautiful improvised vocals by Anil and a Thom Brown sneaking into the background. 

Geeks:
Rain, sand and clouds… Thematically it's all about grains, so there's some deep use of the GR-1 granular synth and Form on vocals, bass and pads.  I've been in love with that texture since the 90's.  

Dulcimer, Ukelele, Granular, NI Razor, Vocals, Treated vocals, Accordion, Djembe, Toms, Ocean drum and shakers. All the reverb.
