The very idea of cultural and philosophical exchange drew us closer to the quintessential journey man and a poet of intrepid exploration of the self and the life outside that extended well-beyond the planet – Guru Nanak. His inclusive vision that fearlessly challenged the
obfuscating social conventions, that unleashed a spirit of ceaseless wonderment at the spectacle of creation, that conceived his journeys as pilgrimages without defined destinations, that abounded in his love for ecology were the things that struck us all very deeply. We four decided to sist down finally in the 550 th year of his birth and create our humble tribute by rendering his Odes to Cosmos, to Wonderment and to Life.

2019 proved to be an unusually productive year in this regard. The first part of our
engagement with Guru Nanak’s poetry took us to Los Angeles where the four of us worked with a highly talented sound engineer, Ishaan Kashyap, over several days in his parents’ villa. This resulted in an astounding body of work. Two of the tracks we recorded with him – almost 23 minute-long – are included in the album awaiting worldwide release on 5th November.

The second leg of our creative engagement took us to Vancouver on the initiative of Prof Anne Murphy of the University of British Columbia and Ruby Singh – an amazing sound designer and musician whom we were introduced to by Sirish Rao who runs the Indian Summer Festival in Vancouver. We recorded with him in a state of the art studio and subsequently performed with him to a sold-out show in the HR MacMillan Space Center of Vancouver. This album has about thirty minute of music we immensely enjoyed recording there. It may be mentioned that all these recordings are single-take recordings and retain the performative energy of a live performance.

Thanks for hi-res. Sounds like the group Oregon if they had had an Indian singer instead of woodwind player. Recording quality a definite plus.
