About Virtual Salon:
Virtual Salon is an initiative of the Goethe-Institut Pune and the Alliance Française de Pune that offers artists and creatives a platform to showcase their work, discover the work of others, and hence build a network for future collaborations. On a biweekly basis, the Virtual Salon opens its doors to a guest-speaker and a musical guest who share stories and anecdotes of their work over the course of an open interview.
About our Guests:
Robert Piéchaud studied the piano and organ in Paris (with Claude Helffer and Gilles Harlé), and was trained in orchestration in New York. As a pianist, Robert’s repertoire varies from Bach to Ligeti to his own works. His compositional language, richly harmonic, has primarily served chamber ensembles. A silent film aficionado, he plays live piano accompaniment to movies by Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, and more, with regular performances at venues such as the The Louvre Museum and Cinémathèque Française. Robert is also an expert in computerized music notation and typography, and works for IRCAM as a researcher and developer on subjects as diverse as musical spectral analysis (The Snail), physical modelling sound synthesis (Modalys) and real-time active control.
Mandar Karanjkar is an author, speaker and a communications consultant by profession. A Mechanical Engineer by education, the medium of music has been with Mandar from a very young age. He reconnected with his passion for Indian Classical Music in his college days and found a life-changing Guru in Late Pt. Vijay Sardeshmukh. A life-long student of Kabir, Mandar expresses his understanding of the 15th century Indian Mystic and Poet regularly through his blogs. His musical pursuit is an attempt to connect with silence; the eternal music. He is the co-founder of Baithak Foundation, an NGO working to build artistic foundations harnessing the transformational power of the Indian Classical Arts.
