Winds of Change is an interactive spinning object that is made up of metal, wood, cloth, sensors, audio chips, and mikes. As a whirling device, Winds of Change intends for people to receive and send signals through sound and spoken word. Participant-viewers are encouraged to blow at the object, which will then spin as it gather winds, ready to transmit sound and vibrations.
In this ritual interaction, the viewer writes and records their yearnings into the spinning device, which in turn echoes in loops, and accumulates a collective intention over time. Its goal is to ask ‘How many spins does it take to make a revolution?’
The popular series comes back to Serendipity Arts Festival with its signature mix of fusion music.

Among the different genres of Hindustani vocal music, khayal stands out as a prominent form for melodic, rhythmic and textual exploration. Hundreds and thousands of khayal compositions created over the past few centuries and composed by contemporary composers, act as seed-ideas for vocalists to elaborate upon. The eighteenth-century musician Niamat Khan was one of the foremost composers of khayal compositions. Writing with the pseudonym ‘Sadaarang’, Niamat Khan was employed in the royal court of Emperor Muhammad Shah ‘Rangile’.

Since my childhood I was exposed to all genres of music. It is only later on that I was introduced to Sufism while recording for my launch album “Ishqa Ishqa” with Vishal Bhardwaj and Gulzar Sahab. Serendipity Arts Festival has given me an opportunity to present this bouquet of different flowers, each imparting its own fragrance… I shall be singing original ghazals, thumri, Amir Khusrau’s sufiyana kalaam, persian kalaam of Sarmast sufi saint poet besides Nusrat Fateh Ali Sahab’s popular songs and few of my popular songs from movies like Barfi; Dedh Ishqiya; Ye Jawani Hai Deewani. I promise you all an evening of brotherhood of love, of celebration and divine ecstasy—a journey of my soul to your soul.
