Vignettes
Vignettes is the spellbinding debut LP from British-Indian sitarist and composer Tommy Khosla. Seamlessly weaving an abstract instrumental world with a deeply personal family history, this critically acclaimed solo release plays out like a series of short, vivid films.
Artist: Tommy Khosla
Genre: Middle Eastern
Label: Vadi Records
Release date:
The album's rich sonic tapestry was heavily inspired by Khosla's grandparents' photographic slideshows and documentations of their travels across North India. Serving as a bridge between memory and music, the compositions juxtapose classical Hindustani ragas with contemporary lo-fi textures, world ambient elements, electronic synthesizers, and hip-hop undertones. Placed thoughtfully throughout the record are moving field recordings and snippets of intimate family reminiscences, creating an immersive, beautiful soundscape that feels both ancient and refreshing.
“Vignettes, offers ‘little glimpses’ into explorations of identity through..stories, pictures and feelings of family”- Songlines
