Guitarist,composer and band leader Aditya Balani with his team Suhail Yusuf Khan and Tarun Balani are blurring the boundaries between genres as they meld Indian classical music with jazz. Currently,theyre working on two albums,Adityas solo called Answers and ASTs (Aditya,Suhail and Tarun) Culture Code Landscape.
The electro-acoustic world music trio have been playing and writing music together for over a decade,collaborating with several bands such as Advaita and Incognito. Aditya plays the guitar,and Tarun masters the drums,while Suhails focus is on vocals and the sarangi.
Meanwhile,the second album,Culture Code Landscape will hit the stores in September. It features a cross-genre stylistic interchange rooted in simple yet powerful songwriting. The recording for the album started in February and is currently mixed by Anindo Bose at Plug N Play studios in New Delhi. It also features Gaurav Balani and Reggie Hamilton on bass,Lew Soloff on the trumpet and Sharik Hasan on the piano. We come from various backgrounds and were inspired by our multiple cultural themes (cultural codes). Our aim is to create a completely new music landscape, says Aditya.
