The new World music album features Nikhil Koparkar, award-winning composer and pianist for multimedia and Kunal Gunjal, world-renowned santoor pioneer and disciple of Shivkumar Sharma.

"Nature Of All Things" is a unique collaboration of instrumental music, blending Indian classical sounds with Western orchestral. The music has varied influences ranging from Howard Shore and Ludovico Enaudi to Yanni, and has gained over 1 million views on Instagram based solely on it's album track previews. The music has since been featured on the popular California Bay Area radio show Dil Ki Awaaz (92.3FM).

The album features a wide variety of accomplished artists, from Dave Eggar (cellist/arranger for Coldplay's 'Viva La Vida', Foreigner, Paul Simon and Evanescence among others), David Myers (percussionist known for his work with Zayn Malik, Frank Ocean and John Mayer), and John Rodd (veteran mix engineer who's best known for 'Breaking Bad,' 'Get Out' and 'Elysium').

The album was successfully over-funded on Kickstarter in just six days, the album is sure to please instrumental and soundtrack fans, drawing influences from both composers’ unique styles and backgrounds — an exploration into what’s possible when musicians’ differences are celebrated and embraced.
