Sanaya Ardeshir – 'Hand of Thought'
This is the best neoclassical-cum-electronic album I've heard since... Jon Hopkins' last album? Or the album that Floating Points did with Pharaoh Sanders?
From the Bandcamp page:
Hand of Thought is the first full-length release by Indian composer Sanaya Ardeshir under her own name – introducing a parallel practice that exists alongside her work as electronic producer Sandunes. The album examines matrilineality – the tracing of kinship through the female bloodline – and its manifestation as intuition and wisdom through the trans-generational currency of music and her primary instrument – the piano. The album title is inspired by Kosho Uchiyama's Opening the Hand Of Thought – a seminal work in the development of Buddhism throughout East Asia.
