SUMMARY:Essence of Duality
DESCRIPTION:Hindol Deb\, sitar and compositions \nChristoph Hillmann\, drum
 s\nChristian Ramond\, double bass\nClemens Orth\, piano\n\n\n\nEssence of 
 Duality explores and crosses the boundaries of jazz and Indian classical m
 usic\, making aesthetic connections between the two. The music is a sincer
 e attempt to get out of the exotic yet stereotypical image of the Sitar\, 
 the main instrument of the album\, in the West and Indo-Jazz fusion in par
 ticular. The album is the logical result of moving to Germany in 2015\, in
  search of new sounds and compositional styles. An immediate impact was to
  be confronted with a new culture and so also a challenge for Hindol Deb\,
  to overcome both the cultural and musical differences\, finally merging b
 oth perspectives and making the connection.\n\nHindol Deb’s formal study
  of jazz\, his experience in collaborative music making\, and his develope
 d insight into Western culture\, coupled with his background in Indian cla
 ssical music\, inspired him to experiment with a ‘bold’ new style of c
 omposition while striving to keep the two genres on par. The biggest chall
 enge was finding a convincing role for an instrument as traditional as the
  Sitar\, without losing context.\n\nThe compositions have a strong polyrhy
 thmic aspect\, which makes them both interesting and challenging for the b
 and members. Indian modes have been broken up and adapted to the jazz harm
 onies in the compositions. Except for the sitar\, the quartet has a typica
 l jazz instrumentation.\n\nClemens Orth\, a virtuoso jazz pianist with New
  York jazz background and also arranger\, colours the compositions with in
 teresting harmonies.\n\nChristoph Hillmann on drums and Christian Ramond o
 n double bass\, both highly acclaimed musicians give a strong rhythmic sta
 bility enabling a complex rhythmic exchange. The compositions have polyrhy
 thmic structures and modes while using the language of jazz in the instrum
 entation\, harmonization and improvisation. Though one can’t directly as
 sign the music as European or Indian because of a new compositional style\
 , one can still identify with the music and enjoy thoroughly.\n\n
