Kutiman dreamed of learning to play tabla from the source since being gifted a compilation of traditional Indian music as a teenager. Finally making it to Kolkata in 2017, Kutiman practiced twelve hours a day for two months under the tutelage of Pandit (Master) Tanmoy Bose. One of India's greatest tabla players, Tanmoy Bose toured the world with Ravi and Anoushka Shankar. Destined to smash post-pandemic dancefloors, "Guruji'' begins with looping sitar and a halftime tabla rhythm, before a cascade of synth-played motifs rain down, centered around a droning bass synth. Working with similar sounds, "Majan" takes a much more relaxed approach, creating a reflective, psychedelic and cinematic answer to "Guruji". Recorded in his isolated bunker in the Negev desert, musical nomad Kutiman draws from a deep well of aural reconstructions collected over lifelong musical plimages around the world. The psychotropic sounds of "Guruji" and "Majan" designate brand new territory for the prolific multi-instrumentalist and producer.[info sheet from distr.]
