Tinctures is an eclectic duo from Bangalore and Berlin that explores the nature of consonance and dissonance on piano and guitar, creating lush and intricate sound-worlds.

Formed by Nishad Pandey (guitar) and Aman Mahajan (piano) in 2016, the duo is a sonic laboratory, brewing potent tinctures distilled from European classical music, jazz, Indian classical and folk music, and aesthetic, literary and mathematical concepts.

Both 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. —Executive Traveller Magazine
