SAA-uk Concert Series, 25th September 2008, Seven Arts Centre, Chapel Allerton, Leeds.

Indus performing "Mind the Gap" - an original composition that playfully uses raag Chandrakauns in a rhythmic exploration of a 7 ½ beat cycle.  

Indus is a new music group that brings together four creative & virtuostic musicians from diverse musical traditions including Indian Classical, Western Classical and Jazz.  Indus's original compositions cross the spectrum from chilled out & relaxing to fast, driving & rhythmic.  Characterised by complex tabla beats, exquisite flute phrases, rhythmic santoor patterns and lyrical sitar tones, Indus create an intricate kaleidoscope of sound and emotion.  On stage, the musical communication between the group as well as their use of improvisation never fails to enthral audiences.

Indus is Shahbaz Hussain on Tabla, Henrik Linnemann on Flute, John Ball on Santoor and Mohamed Assani on Sitar.
