Template:Infobox album Canvas of Silence is the debut extended play by Indian progressive rock band Rainburn, released on 31 October 2014.[1]
The band went through three line-up changes during the EP recording sessions:[2] founding member and keyboardist Avik Chakravarty quit and was replaced by Ashwin Ethiraj, who quickly left too. The remaining members then decided to hire a second guitarist instead, Abhishek Prakash, who was also a very brief addition until he was replaced by Toshimoa Jamir.[3] Also, they even ran out of money during the recording process.[2]
Regarding the EP's music, drummer Praveen Kumar said the band "deliberately ventured on an experimental side", while vocalist Vats Iyengar saw some "subtle Indian elements".[2] After the EP's release, they intended to tour in order to promote it and were also looking for a label via which they could release their debut full-length album.[2]
Reception
The Hindu described the EP as "a brilliant blend of opposing Indo-progressive tonalities that throb together in eclectic energy, exuding the band's vibrant take on music that is rooted and yet atmospheric."[2] Classic Rock ranked it as the 4th best progressive rock album of 2015.[4]
