I composed "Chapel" in 2005 during a music residency in Italy. The peace and tranquility of the Italian countryside inspired me to compose this piece for 'sarod' and guitar as a fusion of two diametrically opposite string instruments - the staccato of the nylon-string guitar juxtaposed with the clean, long bending notes of the 'sarod.' In these difficult times, peace is vital for mankind and our earth to survive, and music can make this possible. Deepak Castelino played acoustic guitar, Shyam Nepali played Nepali sarangi and I played sarod.

Water is vital and critical for life to survive on our planet. Clean, drinking water is a precious commodity and there are millions of living beings who do not have free and easy access to it. "Turn Off That Tap!" is a fervent and sincere plea to everyone to conserve and save water, and thus help to save lives. Shyam Nepali played Nepali sarangi, Pritam Ghosal played 'sarod' and I, Deepak Castelino, played electric guitar and bass.
