08th September, 2025More than ten years after their first collaboration on the album ‘Deep India’, Rahul Sharma and Éric Mouquet (Deep Forest) reunite for a second opus filled with sensitivity and modernity.
With ‘Tree of Tranquility’, the two artists venture into more electronic, more intimate territories, weaving a deep connection with nature. Rahul Sharma’s subtle and refined santoor playing unfolds in infinite variations, carried and enhanced by Éric Mouquet’s immersive sonic textures.
Here we find the full richness of their worlds: the depth of Indian classical music, the unique sonic signature of Deep Forest, and an experimental approach resolutely turned toward contemporary sounds. Having each pursued their own artistic journey, their reunion gives birth to a work of rare intensity, both innovative and timeless.
‘Tree of Tranquility’ is a sonic journey where tradition and modernity embrace, offering listeners a unique musical experience, both soothing and inspiring.
