Indian Classical Music (ICM) Performing Arts Public Digital Archive

The "ICM Public Digital Archive – FY 2022 – 2029" project is a research led, peer reviewed documentation project of Indian Classical Music Gurus, senior artistes and their students spanning Hindustani and Carnatic music in which we seek to document their traditional knowledge systems, pedagogy. detailed biographical profiles and commentaries on compositions, composers and related material.

The documentation will be in the form of audio and video recordings (and some exclusively audio recordings) which will be finally shared to audiences, musicians, researchers, scholars and students worldwide via a public website which will launch in September 2026 when we hope to have approximately 500 hours of edited and annotated recordings. By the end of the project in 2029 we will have a minimum of approximately 2000 hours of recorded audiovisual material inclusive of additional recordings acquired from musicians and collectors and annotated by our teams.

The archive will also carry out documentation of select Indian performing arts and their Gurus (such as Koodiyattan, the oldest surviving form of Sanskrit dance theatre) as well as practitioners whose diverse knowledge systems are increasingly endangered today for a variety of reasons in the contemporary world.
