Introduction to "The Deep Ends"

The Deep Ends is a document of times spent between friends;
musical collaborations that pass age, experience and formal groups. It is also a document of times spent alone in thought, where we are our greatest friend and our worst foe.

Recorded under tight time and financial conditions, the need to play original music is what drives this unique project to bring together seasoned professionals with weekend musicians. The Deep Ends is also my personal ode to friends and musicians who have inspired me back home. Rarely does one have the opportunity to record music with the very people who have put the love of music in you. The four co-musicians on the record- Rzhude, Bruce, Sanky and Ishan have each in their own way affected my thoughts and actions over these past 6 years in Bangalore.

The Deep Ends is a continuous album that spans 21 minutes and 21 seconds. It has been recorded in the spirit of Free Music that is meant to be shared. If you like what you hear, please do spread the word. Hope to see you in a steamy jam session in Bangalore soon...

No worn out rocking chairs or chipped paint on the wall
No neem tree or a scratched name on its bark

No battered wooden toys or a backyard that played host to hopscotch
No jalebiwala or overly zealous neighbours

No terrace that overlooked kite festivals
No small gullies that echoed cricket or street dogs that became pets

No scratches from scrambling tall trees or scars from jumping walls
No afternoon naps on the veranda or swatting flies

Just concrete and glass scaffoldings that make up my childhood memories.

I was looking for 'Great gig in the Sky' and somehow stumbled upon your video on youtube.

Great work too by the way. Always wanted to get into VFS.

Anyhow, keep up the good work.
