Saatvik is a debut EP of the collaboration, which was born out of a brief session at Kamini’s home in the mountainous Simi Valley in California. The two were brought together by a friend – percussionist Hector Quintallia Galvan. During the session Oleg captured Kamini’s singing and later developed the music and produced the EP at his own Idiom Music Productions studio in Los Angeles. The approach behind the arranging of each mantra was to carefully convey its energy and symbolism.
