South Indian ragas, Western chamber music, jazz and folk are transformed into a singular sonic conversation on Nakshatra, the debut album from Brooklyn-based husband-and-wife violin duo Trina Basu and Arun Ramamurthy.
Though it consists only of the two violins, this music is remarkably exuberant, a curious mix of vulnerable and universal that makes the album hum with the ambient expressiveness of a film score.
“Alterity” is enigmatic and contemplative, while “Tempest” is a brilliantly moody cosmic journey, melancholy yet bursting with life. Nakshatra resonates with the power of an ancient drone, revivified by fearless contemporary spirit.
