Description This collaboration is quite a combination of elements. Some time ago, Josh (Bageltogo) posted an open collab invite called Punjabi bass beat (http://www.macjams.com/song/47119), which I found very interesting. Here is his original description:
"It contains a sample of an Indian lady singing a Punjabi folk song; sample of a sitar drone; two tabla samples I believe from GB maybe from elsewhere; my own beat; and a double bass sample, also I believe from GB."

Around the same time, I was thrilled to see Ramonaji appear on Macjams. For those of you that don't know her yet - she has posted some excellent work on iComps (http://www.icompositions.com/artists/ramonaji). When I inquired about a collab, I discovered that we had a mutual taste for Indian/Hindi pop stuff - so I asked if she would be interested in working with Josh's piece. She came up with the vocal mantra and I added some cello, percussion, and sparse extra backing vocals. We hope you find it enjoyable.

Interesting
This reminds me of the stuff my daughter listens to back in the UK
Nice swirls of mystic psychedelia here.
I have listened a couple of times to this (monitors/headfones) and my only slight critique is that the voice seems too prominent in the mix, but I can't decide if that is because of the way it pans from side to side or not or if it is simply too loud (not that my opinion matters of course)
Love the tablas and the general atmosphere to this
Is it a live bass?

Yes B...
I should have got dry tracks from Ramonaji - but I think it works to an extent. You in on the next one then?

LunaTrick said 45 days ago
Thanks EZ
Have a couple of Buddha bar CDs and find them very enjoyable. This was fun!

mvh9591 said 53 days ago
Nice_____
I hear you Luna - Quite a combination of elements for sure. Very nicely mixed. I enjoyed.

Thanks for sharing,

mvh : )

LunaTrick said 45 days ago
TBH
Much of the credit should go to Josh (Bageltogo) - who gave the track it's core vibe. I just added accouterments!

regulus said 53 days ago
I came,
I heard, I took a download. This is enjoyable and very interesting to say the least. Good show with all here on this cut. The cross cut of instruments is really stimulating.

What's next??????? I'll stay tuned to this station for up dates......

LunaTrick said 45 days ago
Thanks Reg
But having just familiarized myself with your stuff - we should all be tuning in to your station!

Hi Daniel.....
This is excellent work my friend.

Everyone has performed wonderfully on this track and you've put everything together very well.

Take care.

Paul





LunaTrick said 45 days ago
Thanks Paul...
This is a good area to explore.... fancy doing some Hindi music experimentation?

Reinholt56 said 40 days ago
Hi Daniel....
I'm up for anything.

I've only just seen your question.

Let me know if there's anything you want me to do.

Paul


dolby said 52 days ago
Yeah...
...it's not Madonna is it?

Only kidding! I kind of like the vocal level - it is high, but I think it works - at least in headphones anyway.

I like the arrangement, it grooves, but is suitably abstract in places and I like the way the instruments play off each other. I agree that it sounds like it's been put together with a great amount of care and attention - really fine tack. Could be a lot longer for me as well -

LunaTrick said 45 days ago
Very funny!
Actually - it was sort of impromptu. I'm just getting to know Ramonaji, who is very good at this sort of thing... we both pounced on Josh's track and threw it together!

Skean said 52 days ago
Nice work
Very nice work w all involved... Thanks for sharing it here.. Peace

LunaTrick said 45 days ago
Cheers Kenta...
You would have been an interesting collab partner on this.. perhaps the next one!

Morning Light said 52 days ago
There is something........
Highly devine about this......how could it not be ........thoughts of a giant Shiva......demonstrating immortality and omnipotence.......I can feel the Kundalini energy reaching out to this!

Oooh there's a thought...
Ramonaji and Morning Light.... collabing the express Kundalini!

dajama said 52 days ago
Very nice
Great vocals (although I'm going to add my voice to the chorus of people saying it's a little to loud for my taste) and the soundbed is terrific. A lovely merging of different elements to create something unique and engaging. Kudos to everyone involved. Peace.

LunaTrick said 45 days ago
Cheers Daj
My production gaffe then! Appreciate the listen!

kassia said 52 days ago
shiva
cool collection of talent and sounds here. Lots going on, but it all melds perfectly. Daniel, love the whispery support vocals. Very very cool chill out piece.

LunaTrick said 45 days ago
Thanks Shay...

Having heard some of your stuff - I'm thrilled to have you listen!

Char said 49 days ago
Very, very
atmospheric. You can get lost in it. Sensual. Love it. Way to go. Thanks, all.

LunaTrick said 45 days ago
Glad you like Char...
Check out more of Ramonaji's stuff when you get a chance. Very sensual stuff... you'll like it!

Haribol!
Very nice. I'm just now getting to your creations. I really like your versatility. Tiana and I play a lot of Indian classical music (sarod and tablas), but have yet to record anything with them. Thanks for the inspiration.

LunaTrick said 7 days ago
Thanks
I like what I've heard of you so far - and look forward to hearing more!
