Hindol’s performances are marked by a combination of
technical finesse and a deep sense of maturity, which is unique at his age. His
aesthetic understanding is rooted profoundly in spirituality. With the deep
resonating tone of his instrument, each note makes its presence felt and
nothing fades in ambiguity.
He has performed in many music festivals in India and
abroad. He has also composed and played his music for various plays, ballets,
and music bands. As a composer he has also been exploring the infinite
combinations in the crossover of Indian music with various other genres like
contemporary western classical, Jazz, Blues, Flamenco, Nordic folk, Balkan and
African music. He has extensively toured Belgium, Greece, Switzerland, and
Germany for his concerts.
Recently, he worked
with Amit Trivedi, a celebrated Bollywood music director, for a film. He is
currently also involved in a project called the Bombay Fusion Ensemble along
with musicians from various countries and has performed at different venues.
Apart from being a
performer and composer, Hindol is also a dedicated teacher and conducts
workshops of Indian Classical music, improvisation, and compositional
techniques in India and abroad.

Indian Classical Music :- Indian Classical Music
is an age old tradition based on spirituality and an Inward journey to

music, by Jazz and its avatars and also Greek and Turkish music, Srishtii is a
world music reunion like no other: A subtle melt of Indian ragas, oriental
modes, contemporary harmonies and myriad of diversified rhythms.

of two distinct but beautifully complementary styles of music, the Nordic
(Scandinavian) tradition on the one hand, and the Hindustani tradition on the
other.

jazzy live jam band from new delhi. Formed in late 2010 , the band already has
