Bhimpalasi
3-CD Set
Robinson mixes the organic virtues of raga with the synthetic ability of MIDI to create 3 CDs, each a different section of the one piece. The introspective nature of the music grows and changes over the course of three CDs, creating a spiritual journey of sound. Equally as impressive are the one-of-a-kind covers made from hand silkscreen and hand woodblock printed papers from Japan and India.
