A mix of electronic, synth, folk, Indian classical and modern blues, the project brings together different styles of music that are all firmly rooted in a sense of space. Baltich’s wife, Maggie Faye, has also contributed to the project, collaborating on a driftwood-inspired set, and creating animations for a forthcoming music video.
KFAI’s Sheila Regan spoke with Baltich and Ganguly about the project.
