'Bismillah Meets the Creator in Springtime' is 鈥渁 concerto of sorts, the duo not above but inside the ensemble, carried as if on a full river鈥攊mprovising, automatic-singing, mimicking鈥� it is made from a mixture of sources including a 1993 recording of Bismillah Khan performing the Raag Malkauns (mimicked and transcribed for material); The Creator has a Master Plan of Pharoah Sanders (the form of the piece, the role of the 鈥榖and鈥�, improvisations made while listening to this music, and the wish for peace and happiness through all the land); some Bach for good measure.鈥�
'Bismillah Meets the Creator' in Springtime was made possible by a Research & Creation grant from the Canada Council for the Arts.
