Evening Rise

Evening Rise began as an intimate act and grew into something cinematic. Four compositions — each its own world — woven together by the sitar and by the relationships between the artists who made them.

The title track carries the emotional weight of an opening: it reaches for scale, for texture, for something that sounds like a beginning. From there the EP moves through electronic solitude (Love in the Days of Corona), traditional Indian classical raga opened into trap and rock (Ka Karoon Sajni), and finally the Afro-Raga fusion that gives this project its name — Djeliya / Laage Re Nain, a bridge between the West African Manding griot tradition and the Indian classical world.

This is not a concept album in the usual sense. It is a graph of relationships: between traditions, between artists, between forms. The EP releases in chapters. Each single arrives when it is ready.
