Composed by scalloped fretboard guitar innovator Matthew Montfort, Yearning for the Wind is the first audio/video release in Ancient Future history. A poignant piece based on Rag Kalyan, the composition also incorporates harmony and other guitaristic elements. A duet with Indian tabla virtuoso Vishal Nagar, who is considered one of the most gifted tabla players of his generation, Yearning for the Wind is set in matta tal, a nine beat rhythmic cycle.
