40UP
Initially it was a 3 people band with members Parimal, Aloke and Subhasish. Aloke has little time to join us. Tridib one of Parimal's Guru Brothers has recently joined the band. In March 2009 two of our lost friends namely BND and Ritwik were found out and immediately include themselves with the team. Parimal is now well confident regarding their compositions because Ritwik and Subhasish (Both are Classmates) will look after the Indian Core Classical Part, BND is well veresed how to sweeten any composition and Parimal himself will aggregate, arrange and conduct the whole thing to a reality.
Melody compositions, programming, KBoard playing and arrangements are designed by Parimal while Subhasish looks after the Rythm. The Band depends a lot on Ritwik for his melodious voice and knowledge in Indian Ragas and their forms. BND basically a Bassist as well as Guitarist will colorize the compsitions while Tridib will throw his beautiful voice and Kboard Magic.
