01 The Fire Within
listen now
An ambient sitar journey painted on the backdrop of a dub inspired mix - warm, full of bass and resting on a slow, soulful groove. Blending classical Indian sitar with a down-tempo one-drop, this track was inspired by time spent in New Zealand and by a continuing study of classical sitar. It features the incredible Ed Hanley on tabla.

02 Temple Prayer
listen now
This song was recorded many years ago and never released... until now. I am happy to say that I finally made the time to polish this track and set it free into the world. The beats were originally made by my good friend, Gary Diggins. I pitch shifted them to match the sitar and doubled the drums with a bit of programming. I then added a touch of my favorite reverb and delay to really accentuate the haunting melodies in the sitar. Enjoy!

03 The Way She Moves
listen now
This track is featured in the independent feature film, Nice2MeetU, written and directed by Naveen Medaram, for which I scored the music. I love the sitar in this track. It is interesting that I hear the pathos in the notes as beautiful and soft and yet it was used in a very intense scene in the movie (I won't spoil it for you) . The contrast of the beautiful music with the onscreen intensity created a tension and juxtaposition of two opposite worlds that worked very well in the film. (read more...)
