My music creates the different moods of the mountains form dawn to late night, the rosy colours of dawn and sunrise when the first rays of the sun light up the peaks, the vibrancy of the day, the evening shadows that evoke spirituality and a deep sense of yearning. I remember the high waters of a mountain lake, sparkling with the radiance of the full moon, reflecting the peaks all around, with the silvery wake of a boat slipping through the waters. And the romance of springtime, when the snows melt away and trees and flowers come to blossom.
All this has been expressed in my compositions through a strong base of melody. I have used some ragas, and drawn on the rich repertoire of folk music. In the Himalayan range, Kashmir, Garhwal and Nepal have similar musical note structures, and yet they express different feelings, which I have explored.
