Description
This album was composed by Amelia Cuni (singer, composer and performer who has trained in the tradition of dhrupad singing) & Werner Durand (coming from the minimalist tradition) , with David Trasoff (a senior disciple of the late Ustad Ali Akbar Khan (1922 - 2009); with whom he studied sarode performance and North Indian classical music)
The music on this LP is based on the Hindustani Raag Lalit and its modulation to Raag Todi. Lalit is performed in the early morning before sunrise, Todi later on, after sunrise. Here, they are both played against a background of sine waves tuned to the raag's intervals and going through subtle phase shifting. The restrained sin ewaves tapestry, ornamented with Amelia Cuni's voice and David Trasoff's sarode result in a music which is radiating an austere peacefulness, verging on the hypnotic and the soothing, on the inn er side intimately spiritual, on the outer side confidently elegant.
