Soundcheck in Debrecen, Hungary
This Piano goes down to C with the extra Black Keys!! Very rare!! The Magic carpet. In Indian Classical Music we actually sit on a raised platform on the stage known as a Rostrum. There we have a nice carpet to sit on which cannot be touched by shoes and has to be walked on barefoot. This is due to the traditions of this music and of Indian culture. The feet are seen as disrespectful and we never keep shoes near any instrument.
I'm a professional Musician, Composer and Teacher living in Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK. Since 2002 I have been a student and disciple of the legendary Maestro Ravi Shankar and completed many tours of USA, Canada, Europe, Russia, Africa, Middle East, Asia, Far East and Australia. I am one of the few resident students at The Ravi Shankar Centre in New Delhi, India where i spend most winters. I also work with Ravi's youngest daughter Anoushka and in 2006 became a member of her Ensemble 'The Anoushka Shankar Project'. I run a studio and teaching practice from my home where i work on many projects. I compose music for Films, TV, Adverts, Games and Multimedia as well as collaborate with other musicians and artists. I was recently granted the Digital City Fellowship at the Institute of Digital Innovation in Teesside and in April 2009 i became Visiting Lecturer at Northern School of Sound. I am endorsed by Godin Guitars, Novation, Toontrack, IK Multimedia, Arobas Music-Guitar Pro and K&K Pickups.
