Unfretted is a Carnatic trio featuring chitravina (a rare Indian instrument with ancient origins), violin, and mridangam (a South Indian two-headed drum). The three musicians—Vishaal Sapuram, Sruti Sarathy, and Akshay Anantapadmanabhan—possess a deep and sensitive understanding of the Carnatic form, which they channel through a fresh, imaginative, and unbridled vision of collaborative music making.
