The Beginning of BlueDot | Between 2 Notes | Ep. 01 | By Kaushiki Chakraborty and Shantanu Moitra

The timeless precision of classical music meets the narrative soul of composition. Between 2 Notes is our shared space. In this first episode, we take you back to the beginning of BlueDot. We reflect on the questions, thoughts, and experiences that shaped its identity, and on the creative bond that gave wings to Pankh, a project that is as much an autobiography as it is an album. Our conversation flows through contrast and connection - one of us building compositions through data and visualization, and the other engaging with music intuitively. Together, we revisit moments from projects like Chandrayaan, sharing what they taught us about imagination, discipline, and wonder. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If this video resonates with you, we invite you to join us on this journey. 👉 Like, Share, and Subscribe to BlueDot Productions for more such conversations ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 🎧 Podcast: Between 2 Notes 🎙️ Episode 01: The Beginning of BlueDot 👤 Hosts: Kaushiki Chakraborty & Shantanu Moitra ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 01:30 The Story Behind Blue Dot 14:00 Shantanu Moitra on the Process of Composition 20:55 Learning Beyond Formal Teaching 28:30 The Emergence of Independent Expression 33:25 Shantanu Moitra's Sarod Lineage 37:14 Morning Ragas and the Theory of Time 45:33 A Classical Upbringing and the Breaking of Rules 51:30 Chandrayaan and Shivoham 54:36 The Relationship Between Composer, Singer, and Music 1:03:00 The Search for Sa 1:09:00 When Contradictions Converge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow BlueDot Productions: Instagram: instagram.com/bluedot_sounds
