An exploration of the sitar in modern music. From the student-guru relationship of George and Ravi, through the heady hazes of the 60s and 70s psych fusion, to the dusty sitar chops of lo-fi hip hop and worldly electronica. When the world goes mad, trust in the sitar. In the flavour of a Golden Apples of the Sun type presentation and mix, inspired by seeing Kikagaku Moyo live in concert recently, fucking surreal. It is also Ravi Shankar's 100th birthday this year, and he passed recently, rest in paradise. The fourth in the series, more to come. Tune up, drop out (for a few months).
