Download high-res audio files of album "Home"

Home has been a self-centering journey for me in the lockdown period, taking me exactly a year from its conceptualisation to the present. 

Through this year long journey, I found the freedom to experiment and amalgamate my three main instruments - RAV Vast, Tabla and the Maschine, while respecting the traditions where they come from. It is my humble effort to take you on a journey with me through an odyssey of time signatures.

Every aspect of the album was brought to life in my safe space- Home; my influences and inspirations of each piece, endless riyaz, building a portable studio, recording, and finally the photo shoot for the album cover. 

Some of my greatest inspirations for this album have been: Dhafer Youssef, Kayhan Kalhor, Toumani Diabaté, Zakir Hussain, Ibrahim Maalouf, Husnu Senlendirici, Alim Qasimov and Ludovico Einaudi. 

I am really very grateful to all those who have helped me bring this out to you with all of their love and support. 

This year has been a very tough period for us and I hope Home can bring moments of comfort to you. 

Breathe...
