The Indian raga Kirvani expresses the eternal feeling of longing and passion, which has been an inspiration for the arts throughout times and different cultures
for Marion it proved to be the perfect vehicle to express her affinity with Absam - she calls it the Kirvani Feeling. For her, Kirvani is a raga from the Alps.

All compositions & arrangements are written by Marion von Tilzer. The raga Kirvani corresponds to the western Harmonic minor scale. On the album this scale is mainly used in a western approach, where all twelve notes can be used. The stricter Indian style of Kirvani is introduced in the pieces Kisagotami and Inner Bells. The Indian violin and tabla develop the raga in a more classical Indian style, which is woven into the modern western composition.
