Perfect Amalgamation is a show that brings together stalwarts in the field of Indian fusion Bollywood music.
A unique live show that was precisely planned and beautifully executed with super synchronicity across all departments. Each piece within the performance had a different nuance and focus. Our visuals brought alive the emotion and created another dimension in the overall experience. We visualised, designed and produced the visuals for the show of 1hr 15min.
It is a project that has impact as an experience and can travel modularly to various venues and countries. This has been featured at the Royal Opera House - Mumbai and other cities in India.
The show comprises of 10 different pieces that have their own unique individual story and aesthetic.
Mystical Sitar
This performance is a mood and pace setting piece. It outlines the nuances of the Sitar where the Sitar is the ‘hero’. It has a slight feeling of melancholy. The Musician to lead this piece is none other than Sitarist Ravi Chary with exquisitely crafted time signatures that sets the stage for a memorable experience.
Mellifluous Sarangi is a very passionate piece dripping in shringara rasa. The visuals portray a mystical garden seen from the point of view of a Viraha Nayika. As she walks through the garden looking for love different elements come alive and surprise her.
Strings on Fire
An up tempo and high energy piece, Strings on Fire is an amalgamation of all the string instruments play as if in a race with each other. This race is depicted through traveling lines that burst into fiery forms such as galloping horses, soaring birds and flaming phoenixes.
Oud Taqsim
This piece inspires wide open spaces and natural beauty. It inspires passion and the changing colours of air has a atmospheric feel. We start with a mileu of colors and we travel through space to reveal mountains and space.
Floating Winds
The desert in India is not just yellow lifeless expanse, it is full of the colours of Bandhani and the indigo comes in like a burst of water in the thirsty desert. Rajasthan is also famous for its architecture and the intricate arches.
We look at Bandhani as a pattern, arches as a form and move through a kaleidoscope of dunes.
Rhythm Royale
Ink splatters are used to create silhouettes of the instrumentalists in this exciting piece that keeps you on your toes. The silhouettes appear on screen in time with the music, with the ink splatters creating a rhythm of their own.
Magic of Claps
This layered modular piece features visuals that play with drawn and painted hands that clap. The concept of hand clapping is stretched to a wider idea of Mudras used in dance.
Jan Gan Man
This lyrics video for our national anthem features visuals that play with the formation of the typefaces of Devanagari. The variety of instruments are cued in with variety of renditions of Devanagari. The periphery of the colours of the Indian flag are expanded to include a wider range of colours without straying away from the saffron, white, green and a dash of blue.
The Concerto
All the elements used in the whole show come in here- Cosmos, Fire, Mountains, Flowers, Splashes, Typography- all held together in this infinite kaleidoscope. The visuals don't aim to match the music, but work as a bed for it to play over.
