It was 29/4/2015, the very last day of my 2nd season studying North Indian Classical Music (a.k.a Hindustani Music)under the guidance of Sukhdev Prasad Mishra in Varanasi. So I took my friend and tabla accompanist Naveen Bhasker to the studio and told him "We have one hour... Let's just do what we do when we practice together". So we recorded Raag Bhairav in one single take, taking short pauses between the movements. It was the first time we played without looking at each other and my first attempt at recording an Indian Raga in classical form. I have no presumption of considering this a perfect rendition of Raag Bhairav.  I'm well aware that for me there's  a long road ahead which I'm treading happily:) However I think the adrenaline factor helped somehow and I'm satisfied with what we did. And although a few days later I did some mix and mastering with the invaluable help of my friend and amazing musician Juan Tepui in Dharamsala, I cared to keep the natural live character of the recording, as it would sound in concert. Editing has been kept to minimum, wrong notes are there and a few parasite sounds too. I Hope you'll all enjoy it! Thanks forever to my Guruji!
