In production for over 9 months, the 8 minute long single was recorded live across the world from India, Singapore and the Philippines, to the UK and the US. With this project, Shenoy explores the rich lexicon of Indian Classical instrumentation, in what he says is a long journey back to his own cultural roots. Conceptually steeped in ancient Hindu scriptur es and mythology, the concept behind the music is also interpreted visually, creating an audio-visual experience of music, animation, artwork and packaging. The storyboard, scripted by Art Directors Roshni Mohapatra and Robert Capria, is brought to life in an animated film created by Actuality Films in New York.  By design, the video is a combination of up-tempo audio with a down-tempo dream sequence, presenting a unique cognitive experience in the human perception of the music.
