about

My singing teacher, Michael Stirling, taught me part of a bandish whose lyrics are a song of adoration to the Beloved. Terry Riley recorded a version of this on his son Gyan's album, and I thought of no other music except that song, for weeks on end. This was my "test-1-2-3... is this thing on?" recording, and wasn't originally intended to be used. I quoted part of the bandish's melody here, and then became distracted... but since that melody lies beneath nearly everything else on this album, this seems like a fitting place to begin.
