Sitarist Vinayak Chittar is one of the featured artistes at the second chapter of the FEA-curated Khayal Rang concert series scheduled for 19th & 20th August.
In this video Vinayak begins by playing Raag Bilaskhani Todi. He goes on to talk about his approach in the development of a raag; his two primary sitars made by the famous luthier Hiren Roy and how they shape his music; the importance of good sound in various concert settings and how it impacts his performance; and finally his own experiments on modifying his sitar.
