Lending an electronic flavour to the classical album Infinity, music producer Karsh Kale hopes to have created an inroad for listeners who consider classical music "too highbrow" for their sensibilities. On offer in the seven-track album — that has Kale give wings to the vision of Ali brothers, Ayaan and Amaan — is a distinctive play on the sarod. "There are five different dimensions to the instrument in this album," says Amaan, adding, "In one place, it is distorted, in another, it is metallic. It is also rustic in one track, and raw in yet another," he says, as brother Ayaan adds that their latest collaboration is hence likely to appeal to consumers of classical as well as electronic music.

Even as father and sarod maestro Amjad Ali Khan agrees that the trio has successfully reinvented the way the instrument can sound, he is particularly pleased with the manner in which the two genres have been amalgamated. "Fusion experiments have been around for long. But not all of them are appealing. Often, fusions can be total confusions. But, in this album, every track has a different dimension and message. My sons are constantly trying to do something that I haven't done before," says the proud father, who has also lent his vocals — a first for him for an electronic album — for the finale song, Journeymen.
