Sound Sample

Composer and Flautist Dean Evenson joins creative forces with Indian Sitar masters 'Pandit' Shivnath Mishra and Deobrat Mishra in this masterpiece of cultural blending.

The Mishras, a father and son duo from a musical family spanning seven generations, live in the holy city of Benares, India on the Ganges River. With passion and playfulness, they perform Ragas which are ancient patterns of melodic movement meant to evoke a certain mood or feeling.

The Mishras take traditional ragas and create their own remarkable improvisational compositions, adding a spirited call and response dynamic to their exquisite musical forms. Extending the boundaries of the traditional raga, Evenson's silver flute weaves its spell and beautiful female voices, viola and natural sounds of India enhance the mood.

Pandit Shivnath Mishra and his family have descended from a prominent musical lineage of Benaras Gharana going back several generations. In order to preserve this heritage, so precious to India, and make it accessable to children, Pt. Mishra and his family decided to create the "Benaras Gharana Baccha (Children's) Project.

The ragas on this album follow the cycle of a day. Each piece is created to evoke the mood of that time of day.

  1. Rag Bairagi "Early Morning" (12:40)
  2. Rag Bhatiyar "Morning" (12:32)
  3. Rag Bhimpalasi "Mid Day" (8:32)
  4. Rag Yaman "Evening" (8:32)
  5. Rag Darbari "Midnight" (15:44)

Features:

  • Each song is created to evoke the mood of that time of day
  • Sound of the silver flute weaves its spell with beautiful female voices, viola and natural sounds of India enhance the mood.
  • 5 tracks of between 8 and 16 minutes each.
