Mystic Journey - ancient sounds of the Dilruba by Gopal Gopal : Mystic Journey - ancient sounds of the Dilruba.
 Lend your heart to the dilruba.

The dilruba is an old rare Indian Classical instrument with a meditative quality and a heartfelt sound that goes well with other instruments, creating a rich tapestry of sounds that touches the heart and relaxes the body-mind. This can be heard in "Mystic Journey", an album that features the dilruba combined with other instruments such as Indian bansuri (bamboo flute), santoor and zither. The album starts slowly with the dilruba and flute spontaneously responding to each other as if in an intimate heart to heart communion. The album ends even more slowly, taking the listener on a relaxing inner journey, step by step, deeper and deeper.

It has many resonating strings that vibrate in synchronicity with its bowed strings, giving a rich, reverberating and sweet sound. For some people the dilruba's tender yet powerful sounds seem to come from an ancient time, evoking a feeling of "coming back home".

Gopal's music is especially suited for soft movement, yoga, massage, healing, meditation, trance, relaxation and also for listening while falling asleep. His music has a natural inward quality, taking the listener from sounds to the soundless, from the busy market place to an inner silence that rests within everyone.
