Evergreen Heart  is a CD collection inspired by the raga system of ancient India.  This music of  tranquility and relaxation features the soothing sound of flute performed by Lori  Schneider and the hypnotic rhythms of Tabla performed by Kinnar Seen.  Tracks 1,3, and 4 were recorded live and consist of both traditional Indian compositions as well as instrumental improvization.   Track 2 contains a haunting backdrop of vocal and keyboards and Track 5 has a touch of shimmering guitar harmonics, bringing an ethereal  trance-like quality.
