The Musicality

“Why not give the soul what it wants? We have to have music.” ― Swami Vivekananda

Maestro Indradeep is one of the few Indian Classical violinists and one and only Indian Classical Violist to play a unique, custom made five-string violin and Viola with eight sympathetic strings, modeled after the Norwegian Hardanger fiddle which gives a fuller tone and resonating affect. He is considered a pioneer in his field as his performances integrate many different styles and techniques of Western Classical and Middle Eastern music.

He plays Dhrupad Style Baaz (Dhrupad is the oldest and ‘purist’ form of Indian Music), and he perfectly blends the Gayaki and Tantrakari (singing and instrumental) style. They can range from sweet and soothing to fascinating and thrilling, with excellent bowing techniques and melodies. He experiments with different playing techniques and styles which brings the effect of other Indian string instruments such as Sitar and Sarod.
