about

An improvisational dialogue between piano, sarod, and tabla. This project began with a long-standing friendship and creative curiosity between Vijay Iyer and Alam Khan, both of whom had worked independently with tabla player Nitin Mitta. When the three gathered in California for a two-day session, it unfolded as an unplanned yet deeply connected musical conversation. Born of spontaneity and mutual respect, this collaboration lives in the moment. Drawing from their shared fluency in improvisation, the trio recorded a series of intimate, exploratory pieces that became the Sanctuary EP. These recordings reflect the spirit of listening and discovery that guided their first encounter.
