USA - Indian guitarist Prasanna has completed several recording projects recently: "I had a really hectic but wonderful month-long trip to India. While I was there, I recorded and mixed down two albums. One a traditional Carnatic CD titled 'Ra Rama' for the Indian label Kosmic Music and of course 'the other album'. 'The other album' is titled 'Electric Ganesha Land' and is my tribute to Jimi Hendrix, 'Chennai style'. A hard rocking album with only Carnatic percussion instruments like thavil, mridangam, ghatam, kanjira and morsing."

'Electric Ganesha Land' will be the first CD production to come out of ace Indian film composer A.R. Rahman's just inaugurated AM studios which
houses the stunning Neve 88R console (for those geeks out there, the 88R is Neve's latest and most high end analog console and has quickly found
a home in the top most studios in the world).

Prasanna was disturbed by the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina. "As a musician, New Orleans always has a close place in my heart and I can't believe that its been reduced to this. I encourage you all to donate to your favorite charity to help victims in need." He recently performed a 'Hurricane Katrina relief' concert on Oct 2nd in Huntsville, Alabama with Bill Urmson on bass and Jordan Perlson on drums.
