"An improvisation/jam track Vishal and i recorded back in 2012 called 'Alas de libertad'. Latin/Spanish fusion style. We made this track in few hours in our apartment which is purely straightforward. I hope you will enjoy listening to it.""Vishal on classical guitar and electric guitar, me on keyboard and string arrangement."

Guest guitarwork for others and Misc Compilation 2

One of my first microtonal(arabic/rabab) acoustic guitar recordings i have done back in the year 2009. The artist was looking for rabab and in the last time rabab could not be arranged in the final recording studio session. So i took an Ibanez acoustic guitar, tuned-down to 1 octave(standard E) and added few more changes in fretboard and intonation. Artist was happy. Sharing now.

The Shah Hussain Project draws inspiration from the Sufi poetry of 16th century Sufi poet Shah Hussain. Born in Lahore, Shah Hussain wrote mainly in Punjabi, Saraiki and Sindhi. His poetry consists entirely of short poems known as Kafis. They are characterized by beautiful metaphors written in rhymed lines set to rhythmic meter and lend themselves very well to music. Many of his Kafis are part of traditional Qawwali repertoire. The key aspect of the poetry is the fact that though it was written centuries ago, the thoughts are still relevant in our time. It is as much a social commentary of its time as the work of other poets like Kabir.

The Shah Hussain Project is a collaboration between well renowned, versatile and multilingual singer, songwriter, composer, performer Vasundhara Das and sufi singer par excellence Mir Mukhtiyar Ali.

The Shah Hussain Project has been completely conceptualized and recorded at The Active Studio Bangalore, which is owned and run by Vasundhara and her partner Roberto Narain. Roberto is a very well respected and renowned drummer and comes on board this project as producer and drummer. The direction of the sound for this project has been steered by the skillful musical mind of Roberto. 

The intent here has been to create music which, just like the poetry, is from the past, in the present, going into the future. And that has been the mandate for the treatment of the sound.
