Let your thoughts settle like dust in sunlight. / Indian Santoor Music for Calm & a Quiet Mind

66 minutes of slow sarangi and santoor over a soft tanpura, for a quiet mind. No drums, no vocals, no sudden changes, just slow phrases and a steady drone. In this video: 16 pieces in 4 ragas (Raga Yaman, Raga Jog, Raga Darbari and Raga Puriya), about 44 minutes before they come round again.

The pieces are matched in loudness and joined with slow crossfades, so the level stays even from the first minute to the last.
