I use professional Sennheiser instrument microphones to ensure that every subtle nuance, whether it is a delicate bol or a complex tihai, comes through clearly in your living room or performance space. I bring my own Punjab Gharana setup and handle all instrument logistics within Mumbai, so you can focus entirely on the music and the moment. A baithak is different from a large concert. There is no stage separating the artist from the audience; it is just the music and the listeners. My goal during these sessions is to create a genuine connection. Trained in the Punjab Gharana tradition under Ustad Fazal Qureshi ji, I focus on the conversation between the tabla and the lead instrument, be it sitar, sarod, or flute. Whether you are hosting a formal music evening or an intimate house gathering, I adapt my playing style to the room's energy. I perform using a professional Dayan and Bayan set, tuned to the specific scale of your vocalist or instrumentalist, ensuring a perfectly balanced sound. Because these gatherings are small, I prioritize clarity, using clip-on instrument mics to capture the soul of the performance without overpowering the room. **What to expect:** - **Collaboration:** I have extensive experience accompanying maestros and peers. I am comfortable with both fixed compositions and spontaneous sawal-jawab (musical call and response). - **Flexibility:** I understand that every venue in Mumbai, from a Juhu apartment to a South Mumbai drawing room, has unique acoustics. I always arrive 45 minutes early for an acoustic check. - **Tradition:** I perform in traditional Indian attire, such as a kurta-pyjama with a turban, to honor the setting and the art form. If you have a vocalist or instrumentalist joining, I am happy to coordinate with them before the event to discuss the raga and the flow of the evening. Let's make your next musical gathering something truly special. ## About Harmeet Singh Music for me is a way of life and a constant, humble riyaaz passed down from my gurus. I do not just show up to play; I show up to listen and converse with the melody. When we sit together for a baithak, it is not a gig, but a shared moment of devotion and rhythm.
