These Free Flowing Sessions Attracting Up To 2 500 Viewers On Friday Nights Spoke To The Collective Need For An Escape. An Escape From The Lockdown. An Escape From The Fear And Uncertainty. An Escape Into A Feeling Of Freedom Through Music. In That ‘Escape’ Is The Most Personal And Sophisticated Khanvict Effort To Date. The Pandemic Was A Time Of Intense Creativity And Gestation For Him And That Is Evidenced In The Attention To Detail Paid To Production Arrangement And Song Writing. Impedance Featuring Celebrated Violinist Raaginder LA Brings To Mind The Minimal Desert Soundscapes Of Zhu.
