Simon Thacker certainly can't be accused of showing a lack of ambition in sourcing repertoire for his Eastern-traditions-meets-Western-classical-discipline quartet, Svara-Kanti.
For the extensive UK tour the guitarist has been leading the group on lately, he commissioned works from the American-based Indian composer Shirish Korde and even one of the great heroes of contemporary composition, Terry Riley, as well as a new piece from closer to home, Edinburgh-based Nigel Osborne's The Five Elements.
