Still Connecting (interlude)

\"Still Connecting (interlude)\" is a brief instrumental interlude composed and performed by Indian percussionist and composer Trilok Gurtu. The track appears as the sixth piece on his studio album God is a Drummer, released on February 7, 2020 under the German record label Jazzline. The album was issued in CD format as part of Gurtu’s discography blending jazz, world music and Indian classical influences.

The interlude spans 25 seconds and serves as a transitional segment within the album’s tracklist. Gurtu employs layered percussion textures, incorporating elements of konnakol (South Indian vocal percussion), electronic processing and acoustic drumming. The composition reflects his signature fusion of rhythmic traditions, though specific instrumentation details beyond percussion remain undocumented in available sources.

God is a Drummer marks Gurtu’s continued exploration of cross-genre collaboration, though \"Still Connecting (interlude)\" features no additional credited artists. The album’s production credits and full personnel roster are not explicitly detailed in the provided context. The interlude’s brevity and placement suggest a deliberate structural role in the album’s narrative, bridging longer compositions.

No commercial singles or music videos were released for the interlude. The track remains exclusive to the God is a Drummer album, with no confirmed live performances or alternate versions documented. The label Jazzline, based in Leipzig, specializes in jazz and contemporary improvisational music, aligning with Gurtu’s artistic trajectory during this period.
