Artist Arushi Jainâs upcoming album offers something that music fans may not have heard before. The Indian American engineer-turned-musician/vocalist blends modular synths and electronic music with traditional Indian classical music in her upcoming album, âUnder The Lilac Sky.â
The six-song album was released July 9.
Jain trained vocally in Hindustani classical music at the Prayag Hindustani Music School and the Ravi Shankar Institute in New Delhi. She produces electronic music that is firmly rooted in Indian ragas, with the hope to make people aware of this dying artform.
âMy (not so) secret desire is to make the world fall in love with the beauty of Hindustani ragas,â she writes on her website.
