Pt Sanatan Goswami releases his latest album

Pt

Sanatan Goswami

released his latest album Swartarang, along with his co-artiste and noted percussionist, Pt Prodyut Mukherjee, recently. Pt Prodyut Mukherjee has done the music arrangement for the album. The release took place in presence of filmmaker Raja Sen, singer

Riddhi Bandyopadhyay

and actors like

Ankita Majumdar

and Parijat Chakraborty at the Press Club.

The album features music played on a mini xylophone. It has a different tone that sounds Indian due to the use of sticks wrapped in cotton pads. Although the xylophone is a western instrument usually played with western symphonies, Pt Sanatan Goswami has experimented with it beautifully and he even plans to add a strings section in the near future.

The album features Tagore songs like Akash bhora, Jodi tor daak shune keu and Bengali folk songs like Tomay hridh majhare rakhbo, besides Indian classical bandishes based on Raag Bhairavi and Kafi.
