The speciality of Ravi Pawar`s Fusion BandRHAPSODIC Drizzle/ tributefrom son to father this is the most touching piece of music set in bhairavi which defines the maestro Kailash Pawar`s (the father) kind of music. The violin runs in 3 octaves slightly tilting towards the thumri style and the jazz style one by one. The table played in teen taal with base guitar lending the required tone and depth. More Indian in flavor yet the 3 octave noted giving a symphonic feel to the entire show. It`s a saga of the maestro`s unheard music which is so beautiful.

The musical notes flow instantaneously incorporating vocals in jazzy fashion and followed by keyboard solo. Main melody is based on contemporary style.
2) Lady in White/Tranquility in Moonshine :Raag bhimpalasi never looked so beautiful and regal then this number when piano notes made a mark straight on the heart in deep rich and natural raw and hard bow of violin sounds. It has a jazz flavor yet so Indian. The violin played in major 7s and piano slightly and deliberately off the key. The vocals make a cascading effect. The tranquility of violin is at its ultimate. Violin is played in all 3 scales gives an immense range of the violinist. 3) Enigmatic Malkauns/Oceanic Waves:More of techno style expresses today`s times, its pacy,racy and fast .very contemporary music at times showing the anger,pain,frustration feel based through vocals yet at times shows a willingness to come out of his confusion.
