Groove Junktion, an assemblage of some of Pune’s most talented sessions musicians will get the show on the road, with a heady mix of their anthems.
While the band plays, maverick photographer, Rahul Deshpande (he’s done the rounds of fashion weeks in New York) will snap images of listeners, the musicians and various other moments frozen in his mind’s eye. All of these will be processed live to an enthralled crowd on a screen, showcasing the skills of the Macbook.
Simultaneously, Ayan De, sound executioner supreme, who has worked with no less than 20 artists since July this year, will process Groove Junktion’s sounds, displaying the ability of the Mac to not just process images but sound as well.
It promises to be wicked and fun. Come by early.
