# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Acoustic Sessions Presents: TINCTURES (LiveStream World) - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 14 Jan, 2023 at 07:30 pm – Sat, 14 Jan, 2023 at 09:30 pm - **Event Description**: Tinctures is a duo from Bangalore and Berlin that explores the nature of consonance and dissonance on piano and guitar.Together Nishad Pandey (gt) and Aman Mahajan (pn) constitute a compositional and improvisational laboratory creating lush and intricate sound-worlds through tinctures of jazz European and Indian classical music contemporary influences imagination and aesthetic literary and mathematical concepts.Tinctures released their debut album Heads and Tales in 2021 with their second album moments remote created virtually during the pandemic and slated for release in early 2023 supported by Goethe-Institut Germany.They have performed and conducted workshops in India and Germany at a wide variety of venues ranging from house concerts to auditoriums.OriginsNishad Pandey and Aman Mahajan met in Bangalore in 2013 playing together in various musical outfits before conceiving of Tinctures in late 2016 right before Nishad moved to Berlin. The duo sat together and came up with their first set of co-composed pieces exploring concept-based writing to create music rich in metaphor imagination chance and gameplay with a back-and-forth between form and abstraction. They share the seeds of their creative processes in the musical workshops they conduct.HEADS AND TALESSince then Tinctures has maintained a schedule of regular performances and workshops in India and Berlin. In 2019 they recorded their first studio album Heads and Tales at Krimson Avenue Studios Chennai later signing with independent cross-genre Indian label Subcontinental Records releasing the album to critical acclaim. Rolling Stone India called it “an important new record in Indian jazz lore”.They released World 1–1 the first single from this album on 1-1-21 in collaboration with Friday Night Originals Calcutta with a music video reflecting a world in lock down.Sound-Worlds and MUSICAL GAMESThe music of Tinctures is characterized by a compositional approach based heavily on improvisation often using musical games as creative seeds to create rich and detailed worlds of sound. Spontaneous interplay and narrative are given prominence often inspired by concepts drawn from beyond the realms of music. Photographs film poetry painting and ambient sound recordings regularly provide a thematic canvas for improvisations.MOMENTS REMOTEIn 2020 the duo was selected for a Goethe-Institute funded residency to create their second album moments remote creatively engaging with the challenges faced by musicians attempting to play together online due to the temporal latency inherent in even the fastest internet connections.A shared perception of time is fundamental to playing music. Under normal circumstances both musicians experience time in the same way allowing them to communicate and interact creatively expressively and with rhythmic freedom. Playing online requires musicians to try and compensate for the connection lag by intentionally playing out of sync so that the end result sounds in sync. In doing so the music and the experience of performing can feel completely unnatural.How can we as musicians interact with technology transforming it from being a static (and often limiting) medium to something that offers new possibilities? It is possible for long-distance co-composition to work but what about an interactive performance or musical games and improvisation? How do we bring our physicality and emotions to a performance that is so detached and remote? Can we interact with rather than be controlled by latency?Since its inception our project has existed across continents but we have only created music so far when we were in the same room. The current situation has inspired us to explore new strategies and redefine the way we as Tinctures must think about collaboration composition and improvisation.The album is slated for release in early 2023. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/online/the-acoustic-sessions-presents-tinctures-livestream-world-tickets/80002270640107 - **Event Categories**: performances, music, entertainment, live-music, workshops, art, virtual, literary-art, concerts, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 10, max: 10, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: online - **state**: 0 - **country**: 0 - **location**: Online - **lat**: 0 - **long**: 0 - **full address**: Online ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Acoustic Sessions Presents: TINCTURES (LiveStream World) - **Image URL**: https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/thumb63b8024eea3d0.jpg ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Acoustic Sessions Presents: TINCTURES (LiveStream World) being held? - **A:** The Acoustic Sessions Presents: TINCTURES (LiveStream World) takes place on Sat, 14 Jan, 2023 at 07:30 pm to Sat, 14 Jan, 2023 at 09:30 pm at Online. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for The Acoustic Sessions Presents: TINCTURES (LiveStream World)? - **A:** Tickets for The Acoustic Sessions Presents: TINCTURES (LiveStream World) are priced at USD 10 per person. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Acoustic Sessions Presents: TINCTURES (LiveStream World)? - **A:** The Acoustic Sessions Presents: TINCTURES (LiveStream World) is organized by natakvalas performance arts LLP. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at natakvalas performance arts LLP's events? - **A:** natakvalas performance arts LLP has 522+ followers on AllEvents, reflecting a trusted and active community of event-goers who follow their events. natakvalas performance arts LLP has a verified profile on AllEvents where you can read reviews and explore their upcoming events. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "MusicEvent", "name": "The Acoustic Sessions Presents: TINCTURES (LiveStream World)", "image": "https://cdn2.allevents.in/thumbs/thumb63b8024eea3d0.jpg", "startDate": "2023-01-14", "endDate": "2023-01-14", "url": "https://allevents.in/online/the-acoustic-sessions-presents-tinctures-livestream-world-tickets/80002270640107", "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OnlineEventAttendanceMode", "location": { "@type": "VirtualLocation", "url": "https://allevents.in/online/the-acoustic-sessions-presents-tinctures-livestream-world-tickets/80002270640107" }, "description": "Tinctures is a duo from Bangalore and Berlin that explores the nature of consonance and dissonance on piano and guitar.Together Nishad Pandey (gt) and Aman Mahajan (pn) constitute a compositional and improvisational laboratory creating lush and intricate sound-worlds through tinctures of jazz Europe", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-17", "availabilityEnds": "2023-01-14", "validFrom": "2026-04-17", "lowPrice": "10.00", "highPrice": "10.00", "price": "10.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/online/the-acoustic-sessions-presents-tinctures-livestream-world-tickets/80002270640107" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "natakvalas performance arts LLP", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/natakvalas-performance-arts-llp/19003342", "description": "natakvalas is an audio-visual and performance arts facility, involved with training, production now a performance venue. \r\nThe Acoustic Sessions is held on Saturdays at natakvalas in Koramangala featuring the finest musical talent across musical genres from Bangalore and across the world. \r\nAt natakvalas we also host diverse performance arts, especially theatre for small audiences for an intimate, intense experience, \r\nThis initiative is managed by the father-son duo of Ranjan Kamath (film maker) & Ahan Kamath aka Sound Chef (audio engineer and chef)" } ] } ] ```
