| | Indian Ocean: Deep, Vast, Free-Flowing |
 | | Labels are pointless, as the music stems from a rich cultural Indian background combining elements of Bengali sangeet, jazz improvisation, rock-laden rhythmic patterns, Hindustani classical music, Sufism and a melodic soul thatâs immediately recognizable. |
 | | Indian classical music relies on a variety of scales that are used to create specific moods, and Indian Ocean's music is largely based on that tradition. |
 | | His style is heavily influenced by the Indian tradition, which incorporates using cycles of eight, ten, 12, 14, or 16 rather than conventional 4/4 or 3/4 meters. |
