Songwriter and Bansuri player, Roy Sunak has announced that he will be releasing his new album entitled Tear In The River during December 2022 which Features all original songs. Spiritually fuelled, the album has been rewritten with purpose and fascinating stories behind each song.
Firstly exploring jazz trumpet, Roy has had a lot of experience collaborating with a variety of artists all within the genres of jazz, salsa and funk when he traveled to New York and Spain in his musical early years. With large experience playing live at musical festivals across the world, Roy eventually found his calling in India. Discovering the sound of a bansuri which is an Indian bamboo flute, Roy Pursued his fascination and studied the bansuri where he learned the traditional music of northern India.
One particular track from the album entitled Berceuse pour le Petit Jean Pierre has a particularly meaningful and touching tribute story. When talking about the meaning of the song, Roy explains: It is a lullaby that I wrote for a bird that I took care of. At some point it felt as if he had a special bond. The bird liked music very much and when I played that song it went to sleep. After a few weeks I decided to bring Jean Pierre back to the nature where he belongs and would be happier. This song and the story behind it gave much significance when my father passed away 6 months ago. Letting go of a person/being while knowing that he is in another, better place without looking at my loss. Generating compassion for the other being without attachment.
Now developing his skills further, the new album Tear In The River will be available in December 2022.
