Story behind the song
It all started with this track. A friend of mine gave me a cassete with an indian vocalist singing the Kalimaheshvari song. I fell in love with the song and started to do a remix of it. As I could not use the original material due to copyright reasons, I had to look for a vocalist who would perform this song eclusively for my production. Finally I found Manjhima. The great news: her vocals are even better than the original cassette! Since then we've recorded the whole "Coloured SOil" EP and I hope to continue to work with her.
