THANK YOU FOR HAVING US. SO NOW YOUR MUSIC HAS GONE VIRAL. MILLIONS OF FANS AROUND THE WORLD. SO HOW DO YOU INVOLVE TRADITIONAL INDIAN MUSIC? >> WITH THE POP INFLUENCES THAT WE'VE BEEN SEEING ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA CHANNELS. >> YEAH, I MEAN, I THINK IT ALL STARTED IN 2020 WHERE I MEAN, THAT'S WHEN COVID HIT. AND WE ACTUALLY STARTED POSTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND ESPECIALLY TIKTOK AND I WOULD SAY THAT THE FIRST A COUPLE VIDEOS THAT WE POSTED, ONE OF OUR FIRST ONE WAS AND THE SONG CALLED OVER AROUND 5 BOYLAN. THE SERPENT. AND WE JUST HAD THIS IDEA DOES POP UP IN OUR HEADS. QUITE NOT. WE TRY ADDING SOME INDIAN SO FETCH WHICH IS CALLED SWIMS, JUST LIKE INVESTOR IN CUSTOM MUSIC. IT'S DURING THE FALL. TO DO. AND SO AN INDIAN COSTCO MUSIC, THOSE NOTES ARE SETTING UP OTHER NISA. SO WE THOUGHT OF LIKE ADDING THAT INTO. YOU KNOW, THE COVERS THAT WE DID. AND SO LIKE SHE WOULD SING THE LEAD MELODY. AND I WOULD KIND OF TO ACCOUNTABILITY USING THE AND WE JUST POSTED IT LIKE, YOU KNOW, ONE DAY EXPECTING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT IT. BUT THEN IT WENT VIRAL OVERNIGHT AND IT WAS AND VERY SURPRISING FOR US BECAUSE THIS WAS KIND OF A VERY NEW TO US AND TO SEE LIKE PEOPLE WE SAW SO MANY COMMENTS SAYING LIKE WHATEVER YOU DOING THERE LIKE THAT'S SO COOL. AND IT KIND OF REALLY SHOWED THAT MUSIC HAS THE ABILITY TO UNITE PEOPLE END. IT DOESN'T MATTER YOU KNOW. THE LANGUAGE AREA, THE CULTURES. YEAH. >> AND THEN AS YOU BEEN GROWING THIS, YOU KNOW, FANBASE FOR ANYONE WHO'S NOT FAMILIAR WITH KINETIC MUSIC. HOW WOULD YOU EXPLAIN IT TO PEOPLE THAT THIS MIGHT BE A FORNES DOWN TO THEM? >> YEAH. I MEAN, >> I THINK A LOT OF WAYS KINETIC MUSIC IS REALLY SOME OCEAN JAZZ MUSIC. >> THERE'S A LOT OF SOME FLURRIES AND LAKE AND THE COMMITTEE NOTES THAT ARE USED. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY LIKE SOUTH INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC. THERE'S TONS OF SCALES AROUND US AND IN WESTERN MUSIC, THERE'S LIKE A COUPLE OF THOSE SKILLS, ESPECIALLY JAZZ. PEOPLE USE A LOT OF TO. I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF MODES. THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT SCALES AND NOTES THAT ARE USED. IT WAS THE PIECES. AND THERE'S A LOT OF IMPROV THAT HAPPENS IN JAZZ MUSIC AND KINETIC MUSIC IS A LOT OF MONEY. ONE IMPORTANT ASPECT OF OF PERFORMING THE MUSIC TODAY IS PROVIDES A SHUN AND PEOPLE ARTISTS, IMPROVISED ON THE SPOT AND THEY CREATE DIFFERENT PHASES OF THIS. DOESN'T THE SKILLS AND YEAH, IT'S JUST A WHOLE CREATIVE. AND PROPOSITION ON STAGE. SO I WOULD SAY IT'S A LITTLE SIMILAR TO A JAZZ KIND OF CONCERT. NO DOUBT. >> SO THEN WITH THAT IMPROVISATION, HOW DOES THAT HELP THEN WHEN YOU'RE SEEING TRYING TO TRANSITION AND MAYBE YOU TAKE WHAT IS MORE OF A TRADITIONAL AND YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, EXPERIMENTED WITH MAYBE SOME MORE OF LIKE A POP VARIETY OF IT FOR MAYBE MORE OF THE AMERICAN AUDIENCES ARE FANS THAT YOU'VE BEEN FINDING. >> YEAH. SO WHAT WE KIND OF DOING OUR CANNOT A CONCERT SAYS WE ARE ESPECIALLY SINCE HER VIDEOS WERE IT KIND OF IT WHEN IT BLEW UP WITH HER INDIAN SOUTH EDGE, LIKE SPA ROOMS ON INFUSED WITH POP MUSIC. WE WOULD KIND OF SAYING SOME POPULAR A POP SONGS IN SWARMS. WHAT KIND OF HINT IT INTO OUR CONCERT LIKE IF IF WE SING A CHRONIC INDIAN COSTCO, PEACE AND IF WE IMPROV WITH STORMS TO THAT SONG, WE KIND OF HAVE. WE KIND OF INFUSE LIKE A POP SONG, MELODY OF A FAMOUS SONG LIKE CAN BE LIKE A MICHAEL JACKSON SONG OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THAT WE KIND OF INFUSE THAT MELODY BASED ON THE ROD OF THE SONG. THE AUDIENCE THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE GROWN UP WITH THERE AND AND KIND OF JUST INTERACT WITH THE AUDIENCE THAT WAY AS WELL. >> AND THEN HOW DO YOU BALANCE MORE MODERN MUSIC WITH THE TRADITIONAL ELEMENTS OF KINETIC MUSIC? >> AS LIKE? >> TODAY, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE A LOT OF ARTISTS. LOT OF WE SEE A LOT OF THINGS ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT PEOPLE ARE INFUSING. A LOT OF THINGS. PEOPLE ARE. I THINK IT'S MORE THAN EVER THAT PEOPLE ARE ACCEPTING OF MANY CULTURES. AND I THINK WE HAVE EXPERIENCE THAT OURSELVES. SO INFUSING SOME POP ELEMENTS INTO OUR COUNTY CONCERTS. EARLY, ALWAYS. I THINK THAT IS MORE OF OUR IDENTITY AND I THINK ESPECIALLY WITH IT. >> POP MUSIC. A LOT OF VOCAL WARM-UPS. A LOT OF PEOPLE KIND OF POP MUSIC HAS HELPED US WITH OUR VOCAL RANGE >> AND I THINK THAT THAT ASPECT HAS REALLY HELPED US IN THE ARCTIC MUSIC AND KIND OF EXHIBITING THAT INNER CAN ARCTIC CONCERT. >> AND THEN FOR YOUR UPCOMING PERFORMANCE HERE IN AUGUST, 30TH IN FORT MYERS.
