Their fusion compositions showcase a harmonious marriage of two diverse musical traditions, exploring the rich tapestry of emotions and textures found in both Western and Hindustani Classical music. 

“This is a free improv together with Shivpreet Singh. It is a true coming together of diverse cultures. I hear the kindness in his voice as he sings a Mool Mantra meditation, and reflect that feeling on my harp-guitar, beginning and ending the music with a slight musical nod to his Indian heritage.” Muriel Anderson
