Reincarnation was conceptualized around a year back. For a very long time now both of us really wanted to make out debuts into the new age music world. However coming form a very traditional background and having a father of the statue of Amjad Ali Khan Needed us to establish ourselves first for what we are and that is classical music. A time came in out careers when we decided to nurture our other side. This led to the birth of Reincarnation. While giving all due respect to tradition and maintaining the purity of each raga every track has grown like a newborn child with strong characteristics of its won. Sound is heard here as never in the past. As savvy as this album may sound it also has compositions of our grand father and our father in a few tracks. This is also the first time we are lending out vocal chords for an album. Its strange we never imagined that we would record ourselves that too for a project of this nature! Reincarnation rebirth and reincarnation has intrigued man. As a human being reincarnates so does music as music is a living entity in itself. For us all tracks in this album are a reincarnation of what they have been since thousands of years.
We’d like to extend our gratitude to Sawan Dutta for the most superb programming Ashish Manchanda for the brilliant mastering gurmeet Singh, Mannu Kohli and everyone at Music today and lastly. Maa and Abba for their faith and belief in us.
