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.

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?

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

Have a couple of Buddha bar CDs and find them very enjoyable. This was fun!

I hear you Luna - Quite a combination of elements for sure. Very nicely mixed. I enjoyed.
Thanks for sharing,
mvh : )

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

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
But having just familiarized myself with your stuff - we should all be tuning in to your station!

This is excellent work my friend.
Everyone has performed wonderfully on this track and you've put everything together very well.
Take care.

This is a good area to explore.... fancy doing some Hindi music experimentation?
Reinholt56
I'm up for anything.
I've only just seen your question.
Let me know if there's anything you want me to do.

...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 -

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
Very nice work w all involved... Thanks for sharing it here.. Peace
LunaTrick
You would have been an interesting collab partner on this.. perhaps the next one!
Morning Light
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!
ramonaji
I love your comment, someone who knows Kunalini! She is all.

Ramonaji and Morning Light.... collabing the express Kundalini!

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
My production gaffe then! Appreciate the listen!
kassia
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
Love to get your input...

Inspiration does the work :)
very well done.
LunaTrick
Having heard some of your stuff - I'm thrilled to have you listen!
Char
atmospheric. You can get lost in it. Sensual. Love it. Way to go. Thanks, all.
LunaTrick
Check out more of Ramonaji's stuff when you get a chance. Very sensual stuff... you'll like it!
Rasapriya
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
I like what I've heard of you so far - and look forward to hearing more!
