2 Trains -- part 2, Mahamaya Experience & Ranjit Makkuni
Mahamaya Experience considers life’s infinite outcomes on their trailblazing track, ‘2 trains’.

An ethereal experience established upon the vibrant sounds of the exhilarating World Music scene; the Mahamaya Experience has continually basked in its ability to transcend the listener into a ‘non-ego’ driven spiritual existence. Consistently challenging musical conventions, their experimental delineation of sentience serves as the crux to their enlightened and numinous approach to music.
As the driving force behind the multicultural outfit, adept sitarist and composer Ranjit Makkuni plays a pivotal role in the creative direction of the project, with his virtuous musicianship allowing each track to embark upon its own unique journey. The heartening ballad, ‘2 Trains’, is certainly no exception, extracting 3 themes from a near 20-minute piece of improvised music. Adhering to the pentatonic minor while adopting frequent subtle changes in rhythm, Makkuni’s mystical playing helps mould an emboldened atmosphere, whose imperishable shades of expectation find assurance within each warm and vibrant melody.
Premised on the idea that life’s outcomes pertain to a chain of endless capacity, the trusting nature of ‘2 trains’ explores a hypothetical concept by which 2 soul mates embrace life’s tribulations, finding comfort in the hope that one day the stars (or trains) will align. Symbolically depicting a reality where at any given moment 2 paths may cross in a manner so organic and beautiful, the track’s sense of purpose is channeled throughout the motivational music. Beginning with the opening theme, the one-minute span of optimism kickstarts through the bustling percussion and buoyant tone of the sitar, both of which combine to evoke feelings of passion and enthusiasm.
