I tried branching out from my usual jazz and R & B comfort zone and wrote some film/TV cues heavily inspired by Indian Classical Music. https://w.bmg.com/gcc4o
This was quite a difficult project for me, and I think I'm still recovering.    The best thing about the project is all the listening I did to South Asian music, and studying the various genres like Hindustani and Karnatic classical.  Very cool stuff, and not too far from jazz/blues once you get used to the unique sounds.   Thanks to Oded and his Shallam library for suggesting this album !
