Kashi Kol­lec­tive were proud to work with NineWells, as well as being intro­duced and col­lab­o­rat­ing with one of India’s finest musi­cians, Rajen­dra Tere­de­sai, a pre­mier Bansuri player from Pune India.
The album is a clean rep­re­sen­ta­tion of Indian fusion, uti­liz­ing the sounds of the tan­pura, a clas­si­cal Indian instru­ment, the back­ground drone that is a strong foun­da­tion for all clas­si­cal music. With solid tabla rhythms and arrange­ments that rep­re­sent Indian ragas per­formed on piano, the album is a cohe­sive col­lec­tion of beau­ti­ful sounds.
There is an even bal­ance of per­for­mances from David Mages on Hulusi, the Chi­nese folk reed instru­ment, Sax­o­phone and sil­ver Flute, and Rajen­dra Teredesai’s heav­enly Bansuri play­ing.
Kari Field joins the group again and pro­duces a great per­for­mance on ‘Dream­ing in Color’, another Alap based song.
The album aims at bring­ing these diverse instru­ments together as one into a seam­less jour­ney through the shad­ows and into the light.
