"Navneeth Sundar, a composer and pianist from Chennai, has recently discovered that the touch screen provided by the Apple iPad can be used to perform different kinds of music, including Carnatic music (South Indian Classical Music). The app used in this performance is "Animoog" created by "Moog Music Inc". This particular patch, created by Navneeth himself on the app, is specific to a particular ragam or scale, which in this case is the ragam Desh and its parameters can be tweaked to suit other ragams, which makes it possible to explore the myriad dimensions and expressions there are, in Classical Carnatic music.

Pranaams to Shri. Lalgudi G. Jayaraman, the legend, whose Desh Thillana composition we've performed here.

Thanks to Sumesh Narayanan and Harihara Sharma for the accompaniment. Thanks to Madhana Gopal for his awesome work behind the lens and on the edit and delivery in such a short notice. Thanks to Lijesh Kumar for recording the performance and to my best buddy Aalaap Raju, for letting us use his lovely studio - Voice and Vision Studios, Chennai to record and shoot the performance."
