If You Pass Your Night

If You Pass Your Night is a collaborative track by British composer and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Bath and Pakistani tabla virtuoso Shahbaz Hussain. The composition appears as the tenth track on the album Jewels from the Sky, released on October 9, 2012 in digital media format. The piece spans 4 minutes and 11 seconds, blending elements of ambient electronica with traditional North Indian classical percussion.

The album Jewels from the Sky emerged from a cross-cultural exchange between Bath and Hussain, integrating electronic textures with improvisational tabla rhythms. Bath contributed synthesized soundscapes and melodic frameworks, while Hussain provided live tabla performances recorded in studio sessions. The track exemplifies the album’s fusion of minimalist composition and rhythmic complexity, though specific recording locations or additional session musicians remain undocumented.

No commercial label is credited for the release, suggesting an independent or self-published distribution model. The album’s digital format permitted global accessibility upon release, though physical editions or subsequent reissues are not verified in available sources. If You Pass Your Night stands as a representative work within the album’s exploration of meditative, rhythm-driven electronica, with Hussain’s percussive phrasing anchoring Bath’s atmospheric production.

Critical reception or chart performance for the track or album is not widely recorded. The collaboration reflects a broader trend of Western electronic artists engaging with South Asian classical traditions during the early 2010s, though Bath and Hussain’s partnership predates more commercialized fusion projects in the genre. Further details on compositional techniques, lyrical content, or live performances of the track are not publicly confirmed.
