Guided Listening Session
PanchaMtantra – Decoding the Genius of R. D. Burman
An audiovisual session with Madhav Vijay (Maddy)

An NCPA Library Presentation

This session explores the music of R. D. Burman, fondly called Panchamda, through select audio and video recordings, stories and observations from the perspective of Mumbai-based composer Madhav Vijay (Maddy). It explores some of the ideas and experiments that shaped Panchamda’s work, including his arrangements, use of instruments, recording methods and the many musical influences that found a place in his compositions.

PanchaMtantra goes beyond a catalogue of his popular songs and encourages listeners to hear familiar music differently and observe the details that often go unnoticed.
