Click the link to download and listen to Talaash composed by Hannah Parry and recorded at St Mary-le-Bow in London. Talaash, which means exploring in Hindi, is really an excuse for a travel story. Whilst travelling in India I accidentally ended up at a memorial concert for a deceased musician. The concert started very late and was extremely long. When the music got going it was mesmerising, but tuning of the sitar seemed to take forever. The opening and closing sections are influenced by this experience, whilst the central section takes an India raga and treats it using western compositional techniques.
