Pandit Ravi Shankar –  Raga Asa Bhairav (আশা ভৈরব রাগ) from the album Maestro’s Choice. পণ্ডিত রবি শংকরের সেতারে আশা ভৈরব রাগ…

Listen to the entire Transmigration Macabre (1973) HERE. Transmigration Macabre was composed by Ravi Shankar for the British art film Viola, which tells of the growth and eventual victory of a possessed man’s belief that his dead wife has returned to life in the form of a cat that pursues him. The music traces his emotional turmoil as the man, dominated by his wife during her lifetime, struggles against her baneful influence after her death. ~ Richie Unterberger
