What's your vision for your Extrapolate piece? 

 My vision for the Extrapolate project piece is to create 4 tracks that relate to an element of nature within the fourfold -(Wind, Water, Earth, Fire) and within the connection to the prediction of Britain's weather and people resulting by today's global warming, affected and affecting the people and the population of britain. My project will be called Brewing Britain bounded by the fourfold.  The instrumentation of the tracks will include Sitar, Sound design captured from local envirnments and Tabla/or percussion.  The envision includes Wind being Britain's upcoming storm/s, Water being Britain's frequent rain, Earth being Britain's growing population and Fire being Britain's predicted heatwave/s. 

I think the most exciting part of my music creation in this project will be relating the structure of indian classical music with a different prospective and sound.
