Melancholic Ecstasy - A.R.Rahman

This is a mix of 52 Piano Cues of A.R.Rahman than runs for 60 minutes. I compiled this for myself, to help me crush the noise in my head in the silence of the midnight and keep me in calm and peace in the moments before I close my inner eyes every night.

I would like to call the mix “Melancholic Ecstasy”.

All Pieces Composed, Arranged and Performed by A.R.Rahman
