The Analog Session - Early Morning Raga

“Early Morning Raga“ is the new single by The Analog Session (Alexander Robotnick & Ludus Pinsky) released by Hot Elephant Music. With this track, the two artists tackle a style which , just like Jazz, is considered the most profound and refined expression of melodic improvisation in music: Indian Raga. Robotnick and Pinsky never claimed to compare with Indian classical music Masters who traditionally spend up to 10 years studying and practicing before playing in front of an audience. Anyway, drawing on their long experience with modal improvisation, they decided to pay tribute to a music style which is only superficially known to the Western public. The video-clip is produced by A. Robotnick ,with the support of Gianni Manetti's graphic art. The central element in this clip is a Wasp, the synth designed in 1976 by Albert Wagner , who unfortunately passed away recently, whose technical characteristics, in Robotnick's opinion , magically blend with the Indian style. In this clip the Wasp looks like a sort of UFO, symbolising electronics' intrusion on Indian tradition. It is therefore with great satisfaction ( although maybe a little bit pretentiously) that Hot Elephant Music opens this window onto Indian electronic music to the Western public, in the hope of encouraging some other Indian producers to deal with their unique and matchless roots b because if something must be saved from the pervasive standardization deriving from wild and super fast globalisation , it's indeed the artistic expression of different cultures, as this is peoples' true and invaluable wealth. more info at: -
