EveningRise
Four tracks, four meetings, one thread: a sitar-led travel diary across India and Israel, moving through Afro-Raga, psychedelic rock, Indian classical raga, and electronic ambient.
Concept
Evening Rise is a debut EP recorded between 2020 and 2024, across India and Israel — four tracks, four meetings, one thread. The sitar moves through Afro-Raga fusion, psychedelic rock, Indian classical raga, electronic textures, and ambient space. It is not a concept album in the usual sense. It is a travel diary made of songs, and a map of the people I met while making them.
It began in Auroville during the suspended years of COVID, with Ronny Lahiri — an Indian singer and guitarist I met on the road. The first recording was Freedom, almost a protest against the way people around me had started to forget what freedom felt like — not as a slogan, but as the simple right to move, meet, breathe, and choose. When Freedom worked, the door opened. The title track, Evening Rise, came next: Ronny sang a melody, and the sitar immediately knew what to answer. The other songs I had been carrying suddenly felt like they belonged together.
Each track became a different chapter of that journey. Djeliya / Laage Re Nain is the clearest statement of Afro-Raga in practice, blending Manding griot tradition with Indian classical melody, voice, rhythm, sitar, and a reggae-rooted groove. Evening Rise became the cinematic opening — a song shaped by 60s psychedelic rock, orchestral textures, and the feeling of something slowly beginning. Ka Karoon Sajni reimagines a traditional Indian composition through trap and alternative rock; Aakash Singh and I were both going through breakups at the time, and the song’s central question — what should I do, beloved? — felt painfully real. Love in the Days of Corona came from a love story stretched across lockdowns and closed borders: an instrumental sitar-and-synth piece where Indian classical phrasing moves through a Pink Floyd-shaped atmosphere of distance, despair, and fragile hope.
The sitar runs through all four chapters — sometimes alone, sometimes searching, sometimes answering another voice. From a world that had stopped, Evening Rise became the sound of something beginning to move again.
