LAND OF NAAD

"Naad" (नाद) is a Sanskrit word meaning "sound" or "vibration." In Indian philosophy, it is the primal cosmic vibration that underlies all creation. It's traditionally experienced as both audible sound and inner spiritual resonance.

​

Land of Naad is inspired by this concept. Formed in 2026, the duo plays Bennett’s compositions written especially for the virtuoso flutist Nagarajan. They seek to create music that bridges the gap between the material and the unseen world.   

 

 Visveshwar Nagarajan is the youngest bansuri flutist to receive All India Radio’s prestigious A Grade. This year he performed with Indian legend A.R. Rahman on his U.S. Symphony Concert Tour. Over the course of his career, Visveshwar has performed in more than 1,800 concerts.

​

 Pianist and composer Richard X Bennett plays modernistic and soulful music. He has six critically acclaimed raga-based records on Indian labels.
