Justin Gray and Synthesis’ debut album, New Horizons, features a collection of original compositions, which feature the bass veena performed alongside an inspiring lineup of artists from around the world. Bandleader Justin Gray designed and co-created the bass veena, a multi-stringed instrument, which combines the fretless electric bass with elements inspired by various Indian stringed instruments.

The music draws inspiration from Justin’s wide range of musical influences, including Indian classical, jazz, western classical, electronic music, and R&B. Gray’s compositions synthesize these musical traditions with a unique combination of captivating melodies, rich sonic textures, and exotic grooves.
