The seventh installation from my Album ‘Navaras’ is streaming on all platforms!
Rishab in this song introduces a new age electronic Sitar: Rik-E-Sitar, which is an updated model of Zitar, originally designed by his father Sanjay Rikhiram. The song captures chaos, horror and anxiety in Raga Kirwani. The instrumentation of the track consists of the traditional sitar, tabla, strings, heavy 808s, synths, hard hitting drums, backed by a plethora of haunting voices.
Director's Statement:
The song is set in 3 different scenes: they each represent cyclic process and stages of calming the storm within, overcoming inner conflict, anxiety and chaos. The ultimate way out of any change you seek in your outer world, is to go within. The journey starts with a struggle to silence one’s mind so you can connect with the rhythms of your inner voice amidst the storms. Once you surrender, you unravel destruction of the older self and instigate real transformation, truly unlocking your third eye and sparking spiritual awakening.
The Significance of Lord Shiva:
Namrata’s portrayal of this journey of inner transformation has heavy influences of Lord Shiva throughout the video. His presence encompasses creation, preservation, and destruction, embodying the eternal cycle of life. Destruction is seen as a necessary step for new creation, symbolizing the impermanence of the physical world and the eternal nature of the soul. The opening of Shiva's third eye is a metaphor for the awakening of spiritual knowledge and enlightenment.
