Rather Be

This track is almost entirely acoustic based. The drone in the background is created from an acoustic harmonium and live trumpet lines stacked on top of each other. The only electronic tracks in this music is the binaural beat itself, and the drum track, which we pieced together electronically, but from acoustic drums. This is important because Binaural beat music is almost entirely electronic based. We are starting a new trend. Further, the nature of the chosen brainwave state, in this case THETA, is reflected in the mantra that was chosen, a mantra dedicated to the Goddess Saraswati, who is the Goddess of music and creativity
