While Gowri Jayakumar and Vasuda Sharma have worked with each other before, they met Matteo Fraboni for the first time just a day before this shoot.

Each one of them are known for breaking barriers with their own medium. The idea to bring them together was to learn how spontaneity guides their vision to work together. While Gowri had the pulse of the composition, Vasuda seamlessly blends Indian Classical through her voice, while Matteo uses a simple device to add beats to fit into the musical context.

#SoundsOfSociety is a project to document and present the sounds of today. It is a step towards a genre-free, no-rules, and an all-inclusive approach to presenting music-making and its associated performing arts.

Music that represents the social and cultural milieu in which you live. We are the sounds of today. We are the Sounds of Society.

Each episode is carefully curated, and spontaneous. Musicians come together for a few hours, and create the magic.
