HOME by Sushma Soma
HOME is Sushma's reflection on her relationship with Nature and the Environment and her response to the events around the world that have impacted her.
Using Carnatic music as the foundation in this album and exploring sounds from our everyday lives that impact our environmental landscapes, the album attempts to aurally paint a picture of Man, Nature and the interconnectedness between them both.
