Saagara "3" is the third installment of an acclaimed collaboration between Polish producer/multi-instrumentalist Waclaw Zimpel (James Holden, Shackelton) and four virtuosic carnatic musicians from southern India - Giridhar Udupa (ghatam), Mysore N. Karthik (violin), Aggu Baba (khanjira) and K Raja (thavil).
A buzzing juxtaposition of dense Indian rhythms and pulsating electronic patterns. An album of deeply transformative compositions that navigate tradition and experimentation as they move towards the universal. Some kindred reference points: Steve Reich, Sarathy Korwar, Talvin Singh, James Holden.
