Essence of Duality traverses the boundaries of jazz and classical Indian music building aesthetic connections between the two. The album is the inevitable result of Hindol's migration to Germany in search of new sounds and compositional styles. Confronted by a new culture as well as musical differences, led him to breaking his inner boundaries until finally the two perspectives were merged. Hindol’s formal study of jazz and insight into western culture coupled with his Indian classical music background inspired him to experiment with a bold, new style of composing while striving to keep the two genres at eye level. The compositions have polyrhythmic structures and modes akin to Indian classical music while the language of jazz is preserved in the instrumentation, harmonization and improvisation.
