| | Devashish Dey, one of the rising stars on the horizon of Indian Classical Music, was born in 1964 in Varanasi. Having initially trained under the tutelage of Pt. Pashupati Nath Mishra, an exponent of Banaras Gharana, he has undergone intensive and rigorous training with the veteran octogenarian vocalist Late Pt. Mukund V. Kalvint, who in turn assimilated his enormous repertoire from Padmabhushan Pt. S.N. Ratanjanker of Agra Gharana and from Pt. Rajabhaiya Puchwale, a torchbearer of Gwalior Gharana. In fact, Devashish has interwoven the silken threads of these three leading Gharanas of Hindustani vocal music to evolve a fascinating and harmonious style of his own.
Devashish Dey has a very melodious voice coupled with exquisite tonal structure and remarkably wide range. His renderings display a blend of impeccable Ragdari & flight of emotional imagination. Thus he is an enduring favourite for audiences all over as he has been featured in the prestigious music concerts viz. S.R.A.-ITC Sammelan, Tansen Sangeet Sammelan in Kolkata; I.I.C., Gandharva Mahavidyalaya, Habitat in Delhi; Haridas sammelan, N.C.P.A. in Mumbai; Hindustani Sangeet Kalakar Mandali in Bangalore; International convention of Theosophical Society in Chennai; Awadh Sandhya in Lucknow, Arambh at Bharat Bhavan in Bhopal; Kumar Gandharva Samaroh at Dewas and has performed nationwide in other cities also, Agra, Allahabad, Patna, Gwalior, Jabalpur, Jaipur, Baroda, to name a few. Not only in country, he has performed in many cities of Europe and got loud applause there and has carved a niche for himself as he worked successfully with western musicians.
He has won the acclaim of discerning critics also. Some excerpts are: “Destined for greatness…A maestro in the making from Varanasi” –The Hindu “Not stars but of star quality”- The Hindu. “A new star appears in the horizon”- The Times of India. “The predominant quality of his presentation was his exuberance, while his dedication & involvement were transparent”- The Hindustan Times. “There was flight & tart, subtly aimed swaras- it was a fearfully true style made his own effort.”- The Sunday Times of India
Devashish Dey's presentation sparkles with the very rare combination of virtuosity with classical purity and a deep sense of aesthetics & emotionalism. His Gayaki is a triumph of a melodious voice coupled with artistic perception. He is equally good in Thumri Gayaki of Purab Ang (Banaras style) and is also sought after for his rich repertoire of Tappa, Dadra, Kazri, Chaiti, Jhoola etc. His Renderings of Bhajan is full of aesthetic depth. Besides being a brilliant performer he has presented own compositions and taught young talents to prove his teaching skills.

| | JULIO ESTRADA. Born in Mexico City, 1943. His family was exiled from Spain in 1941. Composer, theoretician, historian, pedagogue, he began his musical studies in Mexico (1953-65), where he studied composition with Orbón. In Paris (1965-69) he studied with Boulanger, Messiaen and attended courses and lectures of Xenakis. In Germany he studied with Stockhausen (1968) and with Ligeti (1972) Ph. D. in Music and Musicology at Strasbourg University (1994).
He has wrote about a hundred of articles based on his research. Some have been translated into English, French, German, Italian and Japanese. He is the General Editor of La Música de México (Instituto de Investigaciones Estéticas, IIE / UNAM, México 1984, ca. 2000 p.) He wrote with Jorge Gil Musica y Teoria de Grupos Finitos, 3 Variables Booleanas, with an English abstract (IIE UNAM, Mexico 1984). He has postulated a General Theory of Intervallic Classes, applicable to macro and micro-intervallic scales of duration and of pitch. In the field of the continuum he has developed new methods of multidimensional graphic register of the components of a continuum between rhythm and sound and a continuum between order and chaos, and sound and noise. El sonido en Rulfo (The sound in Juan Rulfo’s literature) is the research base for his opera Pedro Páramo.
In Mexico, since 1974 he became researcher in music at the Institute of Aesthetics, IIE/UNAM, where he was appointed as the Chair of several projects: Mexican Music History, Mexican Music Archives and Music: Interactive Computer System for Research and Composition for the study of the combinatory potential of scales. He is member of the National Scholars System of the Mexican Education Ministry since 1984 and member of the Science Academy of Mexico since 1997. He created a Composition Seminar at UNAM, where he teaches Compositional Theory and Philosophy of Composition. He has been a visiting professor at Stanford, California, San Diego, New Mexico, Musikwissenschaft Institut, Rostock, Darmstadt, Veruela, Scola Civica di Milano or the Centre de Création Musical Iannis Xenakis. In January 2001 he became research director of the CEMAMu, research center created by Iannis Xenakis. His works are mainly published by Editions Salabert, France. The French Ministry of Culture decorated him with the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (1981, 1986).
“The techniques and theories I have developed are based on mathematics and acoustics ; the more neutral they remain, the better they serve the description of the imaginary : it is my ear that gives birth to my music, which becomes the accurate, almost phonographic representation, of every detail coming from my inner hearing experiences.” His music is associated to compositional research on diverse fields ; i.e. : scales, Suite, piano (1960); improvisational processes: Persona, vocal trio (1969); compositional mechanos, Memorias for a Keyboard (1971); finite groups theory, Melódica, (1973), Canto mnémico (1973-83); networks theory, Canto tejido, piano (1974), Canto alterno, cello (1978), Ensemble'yuunohui, strings (1983-90); new instrumental developments, Canto oculto, violin (1977); intervallic identities, Canto naciente, brass octet (1975-78); continuum macro-timbre and space sound distribution, eolo'oolin, six percussionists (1981-90); continuum, eua'on ; rhythm-sound components polyphony, the four yuunohui (1983-90); topological continuum variations, ishini’ioni, string quartet (1984-90); continuum-discontinuum modulation, yuunohui’tlapoa, harpsichord (1994-97); Pre-Columbian ceremonial conception of music, opera Pedro Páramo : “Doloritas” (1992-).
