Oceanic, Part 2

Oceanic, Part 2 is a collaborative instrumental track by Indian classical musicians Anoushka Shankar and Ravi Shankar. The artists released the piece in 2005 as part of the album Rise. The composition follows a traditional raga structure with modern orchestral arrangements. Anoushka Shankar performs on the sitar, while Ravi Shankar contributes sitar and compositional direction. The track has a duration of 4 minutes and 40 seconds.

The work extends the thematic and melodic material introduced in Oceanic, Part 1, which appears earlier on the same album. Oceanic, Part 2 incorporates elements of Hindustani classical music, blending alap, jor, and jhala sections with Western string arrangements. The piece progresses through gradual rhythmic acceleration, characteristic of the gat section in Indian classical performance. The album Rise was released under the Angel Records label.

Anoushka Shankar and Ravi Shankar recorded the track in a studio setting, though specific recording locations and producers are not publicly documented. The composition does not include vocal elements. The track has been performed live by Anoushka Shankar in subsequent concerts, often as part of a larger suite from the Rise album. The exact instrumentation beyond sitar and strings remains unspecified in available sources.
