There are two albums, Worship Through Sound and Mosaic in Motion. Not to mention the acclaimed Arts Council concerts that followed the latter in 2010. Then there’s the festival of Indian music in Moscow he opened, and a plethora of more traditional performances.

Whatever point in the story you start from, glancing back over the pages of Sandeep Raval reveals a myriad of influences. From urban UK bass music, to traditional folk and Central Asian classical, chapters spanning continents contribute to his sonic compendium.

Born in Saurashtra, Western India, his father’s death spurred on a relocation and new life in London. But well before arriving in Britain, circa 1991, Raval had already realised his destiny in the spotlight. With performances everywhere from Delhi to Moscow, and film work to boot, so much had been achieved by the tender age of 13.

Far from your average adolescent star, this early success wasn’t enough. Determinedly he began striving to push the boundaries of music in the same way he passed the globe’s borders. Soon there was a home studio and a move to Northampton, followed by countless hours spent playing the perpetual insomniac.

Whether it’s 5am or 1pm, like a gap year student on the return leg from Thailand, Raval had caught the bug, and couldn’t stop planning further aural adventures. Soaring through soundscapes with more grace than any plane, the diversity inherent within his history spells dedication and passion in equal measures.

He’s the kind of multi-instrumentalist composer that still has a recording of himself, playing with his mother, aged five. But then ask him for sources of inspiration, and he’d sooner cite music-technology manufacturer Spectra Sounds than any average artist.

His work with acclaimed British world music producer James Asher explains a little more. As does his part in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Bombay Dreams, a musical scored by A R Rahman (Slumdog Millionaire). Not to mention another stage blockbuster he collaborated on, The Far Pavilion, and the subsequent rave reviews in The Guardian. But then there’s still so much to learn about Raval.

UK & European soil has helped him grow, forging a way from the shoots of LTJ Bukem, and avant-dance legends like Peter Kruder and Richard Dorfmeister. But with his roots in the East, Raval is a global musician in the truest sense, offering a list of ideas and sounds longer than the mileage he clocks up. It’s a beautiful world, and now he has given us the chance to explore it through our stereo.
