Featuring Jack Jennings on electric guitar, Omar Puente on electric violin, Gurdain Rayatt on tabla and Shanti Jayasinha on cello, The Attuned Quartet will premiere two new pieces of work at 1pm today, over on our YouTube channel.
Forming their new lineup in 2024, this ambitious ensemble has developed its own approach to Indian Classical fusion. Placing a strong emphasis on the compositional elements of their material as well as improvisational prowess, they are approaching fusion in a different way to most artists in the subgenre.
The melodic material is based on Raags of North and South India, the harmonic elements are evolved precisely from these Raags to develop and enrich their character, without changing the essence of the music. While embodying the complex rhythms of Indian music, the overall landscape of the ensemble draws much from Latin and Jazz traditions.
