The album Caravan takes the listener on a journey where India and the west meet. The result of ten years of research, this album shines with musical virtuosity, notably from world famous Indian vocalist Ustad Raza Ali Khan.
« Recorded in India, Germany and Canada, Neumann's Caravan compositions start from trad Indian ragas. They're simplified, injected with a noticeable Indonesian gamelan flavor and recalibrated to accept Western tonalities and, by extension, mild prog-rock elements. From here to India via Africa, Germany, Latin America and Bali is a roundabout route, but the arrival is a pleasant one. 8/10 »

The Dreamtree Project - "Jadur Madur"
The Dreamtree Project is the Indian dub fusion project of ethno electronic artist Adham Shaikh and sitar virtuoso Uwe Neumann, featuring tablas by Shankar Das and Flutes by Marty Carter. This dynamic quartet weaves a magic carpet ride of Classical Indian raga afloat a dub cloud of swirling tabla, mystical flutes, spacey beats and booming basslines. Beyond notions of East meets West, Dreamtree conjures a fertile space for all who long to be seduced by the ritual power of music
A rejuvenating sound massage for body, mind and spirit with acoustic
instruments.The five elements are represented by corresponding
instruments and themes, combined with nature recordings and sounds
of the elements produced in
the studio.
In "Water" the sound
of the sansa melts into the stream of the monochord and we imagine
drifting down a warm rainy river.
In "Fire" the sitar
portrays Raga Malkoush, which is a very energetic and peaceful
raga associated with a meditation of Lord Shiva.
The exchanges
of melodies between the bansuri and the sitar evoke the ever-flowing
and ever-changing qualities of "Wind".
The transcendental
sound of the sansa together with the singing-bowl and cymbals
express the image of the soundless element "Ether".
With "Earth" come back down and get rooted through
the sound of the Australian didjeridoo, the Buddhist mantra,
the Amerindian framedrum and a Bengali folk theme elaborated
on the sitar.

François Carrier and Uwe Neumann
This is the first (double) CD by François Carrier in Leo Records catalogue. “He is one of Québec’s (and Canada’s) essential musical voices, a saxophonist who has combined commitment and discipline with intuition and inspiration to gradually realize an arresting musical vision, one that is compounded of free-jazz traditions and a compellingly personal melodic invention. On Happening, Carrier combines both long-standing and fresh musical partnerships with free improvisation and contrasting tonal systems to reach levels of sometimes startling immediacy” (Stuart Broomer).
