Essence of Duality traverses the boundaries between jazz and Indian music making connections between the two. The album is the inevitable result of Hindol's migration to Germany in search of new sounds and compositional styles. With Sitar as the featured instrument, his formal studies in jazz coupled with Indian classical music background inspired him to explore a new style of composing while striving to keep the two genres at eye level. The compositions have polyrhythmic structures and modes while using the language of jazz in instrumentation, harmonization and improvisation.
