About this product

Crossover and Global music fans may know Aditya from his jazz-infused Karnatik blend on his Aditya Prakash Ensemble releases such as Diaspora Kid or from his concerts on National Public Radio, tours in Europe, the Near East and Asia as the vocalist with choreographer Akram Khan and musicians Ravi Shankar, Karsh Kale, Anoushka Shankar and Tigran Hamasyan. But as adventurous and InchcrossoverInch as Aditya's successes may be, they have always been firmly anchored in the classical Karnatik musical tradition of South India. We initially planned to record in Chennai, India, the ancient and modern hub of Karnatik music. To our chagrin, we learned that most of the concert halls in India are designed for amplification, such that the natural acoustics Yarlung prizes would be difficult to achieve. Aditya had only worked in a Inchmodern multi-micInch recording environment before, and for this album Aditya wanted the real Yarlung sound. Thankfully, were able to make this recording using the beautiful natural acoustics in Samueli Theater at Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa. These ragas express Aditya's roots as learned at the feet of his many illustrious gurus. These are not the roots of the Karnatik tradition in general. To Global Music lovers familiar with today's greatest artists, our recording may sound ancient and archaic, traditionalist to a fault. But to an arch traditionalist, Aditya's recording may sound modern and experimental, with Karnatik Inchflavor.Inch And as Aditya's teacher Mr. Krishna elaborates, the static lineage of Karnatik music over thousands of years turns out to be a myth. Aditya explains InchThe Karnatik concert as practiced today is a very structured entity, in which lyrically dense compositions are the main focus, while improvisation occurs in the spaces between the compositions and in subtle ways during the composition itself.

The GROUNDED Story We have embarked upon an incredible journey as full-time musicians in our mid-twenties. We get the opportunity to travel across this beautiful country and live out our dreams. Even as we spread our wings to fly, a part of us remains grounded. We grew up in a small town in rural Kansas where the culture was defined by farming. Even though our family did not farm, we were keenly aware of the life-cycles directly related to the seasons and the quality of the ground. Our parents made sure we were grounded in the Word of God. Now, as we go through different seasons of life, this one thing we know God is faithful to see us through. That is the foundation of who we are and all we do. We are dedicated to studying the roots of this music and being grounded in the old-time traditions. We feel that it is important to know where we've come from and to carry on that legacy. In the same way that we have left the Kansas fields in our review mirror to explore new places, we have also moved beyond strictly old-time music to explore new ideas. We don't forget our roots. We're grounded, but not stuck. We carry this grounded story wherever we go. That often brings us to coffee shops where we can combine our love of music with our love of coffee and tea! We always hope our coffee/tea was ground, but not full of grounds. -Erin and Amber, aka Scenic Roots PS- No one was actually grounded in the making of this record, although we spent enough time in small padded rooms to make us feel as if we had been! Album Tracks 1. Road to Damascus 2. You Plant Your Fields 3. Salt Creek 4. Molly and Tenbrooks 5. You Don't Have to Move That Mountain 6. Jenny's Chickens 7. Stray Dogs and Alley Cats 8. Mole in the Ground 9. Water Bound 10. Orphan Girl
