'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.
