The common thread throughout the album is the sitar, an instrument that he learned in the traditional way from various sitar masters in India. Since 2017 he has been trained by the world-famous Anoushka Shankar. In every song he tries to approach this unique instrument in a different way.
With this album he builds a bridge between his love for Indian music and his roots in Western genres such as electronic, jazz and rock music.On the album guest musicians from all over the world are playing, such as Ravichandra Kulur from India( Anoushka/Ravi Shankar, John McLaughlin, Aka Moon,..),Benny Bettane (Australia/handpan) & Belgian friends like Roland van Campenhout, Tim Vanhamel and Stef Kamil Carlens.
