- Tanya Ekanayaka is one of Sri Lanka's foremost pianists and an internationally acclaimed composer.- Her "deeply autobiographical" piano compositions, or reinventions, introduce a novel and hybrid musical genre that takes a wide variety of Sri Lankanmelodies - ancient, folk and popular - and blends them with motifs inspired by the tonal centers of established classical compositions by Bach, Beethoven,Ravel and others.- "My music is my diary, through which I share and re-live specific moments of my life... each work in this album may also be seen as re-presenting myindigenous culture while seeking to highlight connectivity between the different works of a concert program in which the work might be incorporated."
