Avra says "Music is more an art for me than entertainment and hence I wanted to create something that would be intricate and musically challenging, at the same time quite contemplative to the listeners. Hence, the idea has developed to conceive a compilation of a few compositions those are based on unconventional rhythmic patterns with a common theme of acknowledging mother nature and its creators that straightaway touches your heart and your mind and trigger to attain a spiritual awakening."
