Sensenta

An episode in two parts. The first part blends works by Else Marie Pade, Jan Boerman and Pink Floyd. The second part consists mostly of raag Malkauns, performed by pandit Ashok Pathak on the Surbahar, a marvelously sounding instrument best described as a bass sitar. Raag Malkauns is a raga for the late night, said to be composed to sooth Shiva. It belongs the Bhairavi thaat.
