The DAW
Generated sound at the core — played, not pressed.
An electronic fusion ensemble
Live I/O · No backing tracks
Mumbai · Twenty years in the making
Binary Notes
Ones and zeros. And everything they can’t compute.
Ghazal, qawwali and bandish set against live instrumentation — DAW-generated sound at the core.
SCROLL
01 — The Idea
The name is the
whole philosophy.
Binary — the computer, the ones and zeros, the electronic half of the sound. Notes — the melody, the raag, the human half. Neither is a garnish for the other.
On stage: a full band and a computer that is played, not pressed — no backing tracks, half the music triggered live, phrase by phrase.
You can’t tell where the machine ends and the musicians begin. That’s the point.

02 — Anatomy of the Sound
Four bodies,
one signal.
Where the sound comes from — and where it goes.
The Band
Live instrumentation, set against the machine.
The Raag
Ghazal, qawwali, bandish — carried in the melody.
The Room
Room-scale sensory light, drawn live with the set.
Half human

Half machine

Entirely timeless
03 — The Repertoire
The most beautiful music this part of the world has ever made — rebuilt inside the machine.
Not a party playlist. A listening set built as a single arc — the forms set against live instrumentation, generated sound at the core. Rest on a form; the room changes colour.
01
The Ghazal
The slow burn — candle-light, sub-bass, a voice that waits.
02
The Qawwali
The fire — claps, tabla, and a machine that dares to keep up.
03
The Khayal
The long line — gayaki carried whole into circuitry.
04
The Bandish
The composition — set, phrase by phrase, against the grid.
05
The Golden Age
The great film soundtracks — just to throw in a little spice.
