DESCRIPTION:
This 3rd album by Jim Petit is the fruit of long and profound work on the slide guitar, and on music in general, work began almost twenty years ago when Jim chose the slide guitar as his means of artistic expression.

The music in this new album was composed with the rhythmic cycles of classical Indian music (tâlas). Then comes the melody and musical modes that Jim ellaborates from the melodic frame of North Indian râgas. Once the spine of his composition is established, he procedes to the arrangements, orchestration, and sound exploration. His music can be defined as the musical meeting of Ravi Shankar and Pink Floyd, passing through Jim Petit and his slide guitars.

Karma is a concept album, issued from the artist’s reflections on the life of a soul, before and during its birth in the human body, around the main piece “Dreams of a concerting birth”, a composition for slide guitars, symphony orchestra, and choir.
