“It's really satisfying to create a melody line, where, after the return to the line from a musical excursion, the listener wouldn't realise that the original line hasn't changed, especially when indeed it had -- that's the power of Mahamaya: the illusion.
Come back my Love is a rhythmically vigorous and longing track made from a combination of a sitar and four guitars. It is based on night Raga scale Chandrakauns which is usually played at midnight. Ideally from the word “ chandra” which means “moon”, this track creates a complex rhythmic vibe made with infinite raga patterns and variations making the song even more distinctive.
This song is a dialogue between a Sitar and 4 guitars based on night Raga scale Chandrakauns, usually played at midnight. The theme although set in Chandrakauns, keeps changing through scale variations, as a result the initial theme at the beginning of the song and the theme at the middle or at the end are all different, despite the illusion of the main melodic line being the same.
