Chandigarh from Improvisations 1 by John Gallen

The rock garden at Chanigargh is one of the most famous sites in India. Created by one man, Nek Chand, who collected materials from demolition sites around the city. He recycled these materials into his own vision of the divine kingdom of Sukrani. Chand's work was illegal, but he was able to hide it for eighteen years before it was discovered by the authorities in 1975. By this time, it had grown into a 13-acre complex of interlinked courtyards, each filled with hundreds of pottery-covered concrete sculptures of dancers, musicians, and animals.
Created using a Moog Mother, found Samples, Music Box and Kalimba.

John has had an illustrious career spanning over 40 years working in studios worldwide, continually evolving his craft in recording, mixing, production, artist management, live broadcast, and mixing for film and TV.
In 2024, he found new inspiration from attending and performing at the Coastal Electronauts SEMS sessions in Whitstable, Kent, discovering fresh approaches to electronic music making.
