These guys don’t look like rock stars, they don’t throw attitude around, they dress like normal people; and they play — well, Garsed is brilliant, and Donati is simply inhuman. At the end of the show, people almost forgot to clap coz their jaws were on the floor. The amount of dedication and years of unyielding practice that they have put in, showed through in ever note. The icing on the cake was the clinic section where Donati actually explained and demonstrated some of the ideas he has developed over the years. His practice sessions are like a meditation in themselves 🙂
Thanks to my friend Brijesh Bhargava of Bhargava’s music for going to such great lengths to put this together — this is something that Mumbai needs more often, it’s a real treat for any serious student of music, and an inspiration for any human being on how excellence can be achieved through dedication, hard work, perseverance and thoughtful application of evolutionary concepts.
my adrenaline goes high by just reading this, please upload some of the videos also so we can also appreciate this also ,
Ps: a humble request..!

Tinni, i swear yu shd hv seen the faces of all the so-called ‘rockers’ — unki hawa hi nikal gayi thi! In fact the only ones who really appreciated the depth of their sadhana were the classical musicians (Niladri Kumar and Satyajit Talwalkar were sitting nearby)

i dont like rock but ur making me wish i was there…. :))
I’ve been following Donati’s work with Planet X for quite sometime now. I play the keyboards, but appreciate good progressive music. What he has demonstrated in Quantum (the Planet X’s album) and other Planet X albums is just brilliant. It’d take a lot of dedication, effort and practice to get to where he is right now. And yes, totally agree – They were like the normal folks – Humble, and very approachable. We were shooed off by the organizers – Understandable, since the musicians had to eat and get some rest. 🙂
I think performance of a really dedicated and devoted musician always has a mesmerising effect on the audiance. While, so called rock stars seem to fail in this aspect sometimes.
