'WHISPERS OF RAIN' SINGLE
Full Album Released June 2025

Out Tuesday 18th March, the collaborative single Whispers of Rain sees internationally acclaimed harpist Alina Bzhezhinska and Ibiza-based producer Tulshi deliver a composition that is both technically intricate and emotionally resonant, capturing the fleeting beauty of a rainstorm.

For Tulshi, the inspiration for Whispers of Rain came from a moment of quiet reflection. “I remember standing with a cup of tea at the front door, watching the rain wash over the hills while the sun shone through. Water dripped everywhere, the ground was sodden. It felt like a moment of deep gratitude—for the island being nourished, for everything being washed clean and for a great thirst being quenched.”

Bzhezhinska found an immediate connection to John Coltrane’s After the Rain, one of her favourite pieces. “The way Coltrane translated rain into sound has always inspired me. I realised how gracefully those falling droplets could be expressed through the harp and in Whispers of Rain, we created our own version of the rain.”

The track developed instinctively, with Tulshi first laying down a synth foundation that Bzhezhinska responded to in real time. “This track is pure flow state,” Tulshi explains. “Alina’s playing became the foundation for the granular effects, while the Mega FM synth added an organic movement that felt alive.” Unlike many studio productions, Whispers of Rain came together effortlessly. “I didn’t plan how I wanted to play—I just let it happen,” Bzhezhinska reflects. “We never even needed another take.”

Bzhezhinska highlights the interplay between their creative approaches. “I love how we explored different harmonic layers after I recorded my melody. Tulshi added so many textures to strike the perfect balance. The whole process felt as fresh as the rain itself.”
