Aerophone · Bellows
Harmonium
The reed-and-bellows voice of the Indian living room. Warm, vocal, and the most forgiving place to start.
Aerophone · Temple Reed
Nadaswaram
The double-reed clarion of South Indian temples and weddings. Bright, processional, hard to ignore.
Chordophone · Bowed
Sarangi
The bowed voice closest to the human throat. Sliding, sighing, the instrument that learns how a singer phrases.
Aerophone · North Indian
Shehnai
The conical reed pipe of the mehfil and the wedding procession. Sweet, plaintive, instantly familiar.
Chordophone · Plucked
Sitar
Long-necked, sympathetic-stringed, and capable of bending one note across half an octave. The unmistakable voice.
Electronic · Pad
Synth Pad
The atmospheric drone underneath everything. Modern, lush, the bed that the older voices rest on.
Chordophone · Carnatic
Veena
The deep, ancient stringed instrument of South Indian classical. Resonant, ceremonial, the temple's own voice.
