About This Single

Openings is a beautifully chill electric guitar duet — a first collaboration between Shambhu and guitarist/composer Leo Steinriede. The two electric guitarists create a sound that is silky-smooth and heartfelt, capable of soothing away any stress. Co-written and recorded live at Hamptons Sanctuary Studios, the piece unfolded spontaneously in the moment.

The single earned placement on SiriusXM's Spa Channel 68 and preceded their second collaboration, Resilience. Available in Dolby Atmos.

"Openings is a beautifully 'chill' electric guitar duet. Electric guitars are often equated with hard rock and jazz, but this duo has created a sound that is silky-smooth and heartfelt, capable of soothing away any stress you might be experiencing. Very highly recommended!"
— Kathy Parsons, MainlyPiano.com
"Electric stringed magic. Delight in this imploring and meditative bath of soft sounds and resonating vibrations. This composition has not just got hit written all over it, but possible awards too."
— Steve Sheppard, One World Music Radio
