Enjoy the magic of the expandable musical collection derived from the immanent harmonic soundscapes of our beloved friend and Baul Guru, Haradhan Das Baul.  Aural Bengali Bliss in resonant waves lap at the shore of the Baul tradition, mesmeric and hypnotic healing into the deeper levels of sentient being.  Ancient echoes rub against electronic, scientific dreamscapes....

Greg Hunter and Darren Sangita retrieved from the centre of the acoustomatic universe, a notion of exference of the enharmonic traditions of flux and flow. In this sonic melting pot of Anglo-Bengali ornamentation we share the nourishing heart chakra emanence.

Vidya Sankaranarayanan (https://www.facebook.com/vidya.sankaranarayanan) is an extraordinarily talented Bharatanatyam dancer who trained under the legendary Thanjavur Kittappa Pillai (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K._P._Kittappa_Pillai). She is, in the rich tradition of T Balasaraswathy, a gifted vocalist as well. 

She also happens to be my cousin so this is a family production of S Chidambaram's classic "Kanda naal mudhalaai" in Raga Madhuvanti. 

It's a trip hop version featuring violin, cello, keyboard and programming by me. The chords used are primarily variations of Gm, D and A 

Lyrics Translation

My love overflows my dear since seeing you, holding a spear (vEl) in your hand (kai), oh compassionate son of Shiva.

The people will come and sing (paaDum) songs (paNNisai) for you, Kandan (a name for Murugan) my child (baalan), to bring you happiness (sugam).

My heart has not forgotten (marakavillai) your blue (neela) peacock (mayil). I have not forgotten this love (nEsam) mixed with affection (paasam). Oh this sharp-eyed festive (kOla) prince (kumar) has been in the temple (kOvil) of my mind (mana). Showing a small smile (kurunagai), he placed (sooti) a fragrant flower (narumalar) of love within us.

Mumbai-based Sky Rabbit (formerly known as Medusa) defines their sound as electronic/alternative. A formidable quartet of Mumbai’s most gifted youth, Raxit (Vocals/Samples), Rahul (Guitar/Samples), Siddharth (Bass) and Harsh (Drums) have stumbled upon something unique, merging electronica with indie and post-punk styles.

In 2008, Sky Rabbit was selected as one of the four bands in India to be part of British Council Soundpad, where they got a chance to record two tracks with legendary producer John Leckie (Radiohead, Pink Floyd, The Verve) at Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai. After which, in 2009, they performed at the Great Escape Festival in Brighton and continued their UK tour to Cardiff, Oxford, Liverpool and London. They were also nominated for the JD Rock Awards 2011 in 4 categories including 'Song of the Year'.

Their new 9-track album is a set of tightly constructed tracks that blend synthetic textures with more organic instrumentation, creating a sound that is bold, experimental and ultimately captivating and addictive. The album has been nominated for the 'Rock Album of the Year' award for the GIMA Awards.
Sky Rabbit seems to have become a favourite after playing at some of the biggest festivals in the country such as NH7 Weekender, Live from the Console, Ziro Festival of Music, Ragasthan and India Bike Week.
The band is currently working on a new EP set to release soon.
