Out on 27th March 2026, Landscapes of Eternity explores the connection between music, nature, and spirituality at the heart of the Hindustani tradition. Although Landscapes of Eternity is shaped through a contemporary and deeply personal lens, it is rooted in the language of Indian classical music. Traveling alone in North India for several months, Jalal wandered through landscapes and sacred sites, met masters and musicians, absorbed the sounds, smells and sensations of this unique journey, inviting us to a new way of listening to the world. From this experience emerged an intimate, contemplative, and profound repertoire, where the flute becomes the vehicle for an inner journey rooted in the breath of life.
