Film short by Neil Wilder

“Tarana” : A style of composition in Hindustani classical music based on Persian and Arabic phonemes

A while ago Neil Wilder ( www.inawilderworld.com www.wildershoots.com) made this beautiful video in India. As I was playing guitar and singing live, the audio was captured with a very basic mic and Neil wanted to use it for this short film depicting a journey through India by train. The song featured is a Tarana, a style of composition in Hindustani classical music based on phonemes. Beauty beyond words and our humble homage to India.
