I strongly
believe that "Fusion/World Music" is not just simply
combining instruments, but is the emotional response
to culture and musical genres". 'Mosaic In Motion'
is the natural progression and communication of
artistic and creative passion. In naming the tracks,
the titles reflect the painstaking task ( hours of
brain - ache with friends and family!) of putting
this album together".
Nadopasna -
worship Through sound, is an ancient tradition,
helping
individuals experience internal realisations and
ultimately “moksha,” liberation of the soul. As a
form of devotional mediation, it blends three
components of music,tone, rhythm and harmony, to
create a symphony of bliss and an aura of peace.
This
compilation of work is based based on ‘Swar Vishavam’
a live concert held at the Ram Katha in July 2006
organised by the Jalaram Charitable Trust in
Leicester It has been conceptualised by composer
Sandeep Raval and inspired by Hasu Manek.
The
colour, splendour and epic sense of adventure of the
palaces of Rajasthan inspired these rhythmic compositions,
which form a lavish and romantic musical feast - an
entertainment fit for maharajah. A worthy successor
to James Asher’s hit album "Feet in the Soil". TIGERS OF THE RAJ blends the rich interlocking
rhythmic textures of tablas, dhol, douffli, ankle
bells, manjira and dholak, with the haunting sounds
of Indian voices, swaramandala, santoor, sarangi,
flute, sitar and modern keyboards.
Raising
The Rhythms is an exuberant world music expedition.
The Caribbean, America, India, Africa and Middle East
all contribute influences to these richly varied and
energetic compositions, whose vibrance is superbly
captured in this unique recording. Smouldering layers
of percussion form the foundation with a wide array
of tablas, dholak, djembe, congas, bongos and bata
drums. These are then joined by an exotic selection
of voices and melodic instruments including Native
American flute, harmonium, sax, trumpet, guitar and
a plethora of keyboard sounds "World Music fusion
has rarely sounded hotter!"

Released
2000 on New Earth Records. An acoustic harp played
with the lilt and poetry of Ireland's Madeleine Doherty,
accompanied by a dynamic mix of percussion, including
Japanese taiko drum, Indian tablas, congas and didgeridoo.
Each track is a musical interpretation of one of thirteen
colors. The styles range from foot-stomping dance
to lyrical and haunting visually evocative tone poems.
The innovative combination of instruments and styles
give this album a unique and vital originality.

Feet in
the Soil 2 offers more celebrations of danceable energies
centred in the earth. Following on from the best-selling
original, larger and deeper drums join the didgeridoo
this time around with a fresh palette of sounds setting
the party swaying. Drawing further on inspirations from
Aboriginal and African lifestyles, the music provides
further invitation to join the groove, kick off your
shoes and get your feet in the soil!
Surashtra
is a region of Gujarat in India, here the spiritual form
of dance was created by goddess Maa Parvatiji ( wife of
Lord Shiva). This Dance form was called "Lasya Nritya".
Even today, the influence of this dance can be seen in the
various folk dances e.g. dand rasak , halisak, hudo, rejo,
maniyaro which are performed in the region of sourashtra.
Wild Sticks has been created to form a link between
today's generation and their cultural roots of dance and
