ABOUT
Tinctures is a pioneering duo from Bangalore and Berlin that explores the nature of consonance and dissonance on piano and guitar through their compositions and improvisations.
Their music is a confluence of three distinct traditions—jazz, Indian classical music, and European chamber music—performed on two instruments not commonly paired, forged through a process of gameplay and exploration.
"Mahajan and Pandey were in complete control of their instruments, each bringing to the stage a vast vocabulary... they are both first and foremost masters of modern music. The kind of music that is genre-free and looks to see how easily two people can collaborate with each other, without the usual boundaries of chord structure or defined rhythm." – Executive Traveller
The duo maintains a schedule of regular performances and workshops in India and Berlin. In 2019, they recorded their first studio album, Heads and Tales, which was released in 2021. They are currently completing their second album, Moments, Remote, as part of a Goethe-Institut funded residency, exploring ways to make interactive music online during the coronavirus pandemic.
