_________________
I started recording material for this project in 2018.......the first piece I had finished was #3 "Hidden in Plain Sight"......I wasn't sure which direction things would go, but after performing at the Thousand Incarnations of the Rose Festival in Takoma Park Maryland, in April of 2018, and talking to several other people there I began to toy with the idea of stretching out the compositions, and working on some improvisation within longer and larger structures. I had some prior experience in doing this in the Indian Classical music world.......but the idea was to do something that was not Indian.....and not necessarily 'amerikkkan'....and definitely not pretend to use the term 'raga'...........
