About This Album

Released June 1, 2016

Incandescent presents bansuri (Indian bamboo flute) player Deepak Ram, with Enayet Hossain on tabla, in four ragas that range from playful to meditative.

The main work is a 26-minute Raga Mishra Piloo: an alap, then gats in rupak and teental, in a light, songful raga that suits the flute’s breathy voice. It is followed by Raga Vrindavani Sarang, a midday raga, Raga Jansamohini in the uncommon matta tal, and a closing Mishra Pahadi, a melody of the hill country.

Deepak Ram is a soloist of North Indian classical music who has performed across four continents and is also known for collaborations across genres and for teaching. Incandescent was his first Aimrec album, followed by Confluence, Mystical Breath and Sacred Breath. A fine choice for lovers of Indian flute music. Released by Aimrec in 2016 (AIMCDIM414).
