Tinctures is an eclectic duo from Bangalore and Berlin that explores the nature of consonance and dissonance on piano and guitar. Together, Nishad Pandey (guitar) and Aman Mahajan (piano) constitute a compositional and improvisational laboratory, blending tinctures of European and Indian classical music, jazz, and aesthetic, literary and mathematical concepts to create lush and intricate sound-worlds. The duo maintains a schedule of regular performances and workshops in India and Berlin. Tinctures released their debut album Heads and Tales in 2021. Their second album moments, remote was released in 2023, created virtually during the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic, supported by Goethe-Institut Germany’s Virtual Partner Residency. "...an important new record in Indian jazz lore..." –Rolling Stone (on Heads and Tales) "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." —Explocity Bangalore www.tincturesmusic.com
