Live at The Nook | Many Things

Many Things is a cross-genre instrumental trio from Chennai featuring Maarten Visser (saxophone), Aravind Murali (bass), and Manukrishnan (drums). Together, they blur the lines between jazz, rock, classical, and funk — building soundscapes that feel composed yet alive, structured yet constantly shifting.

At the heart of Many Things is tension — the delicate balance between written material and spontaneous improvisation. A melody may begin in stillness and suddenly fracture into rhythm. A groove may dissolve into silence. What emerges is music that feels conversational, intuitive, and deeply human.

This isn’t background music.

It’s music that asks you to lean in.

What Makes This Night Special

• Pure Instrumental Storytelling — No vocals, no distractions. Just three musicians in deep dialogue.

• Cross-Genre Energy — Jazz phrasing meets rock intensity, with unexpected classical textures and funk undercurrents.

• Improvisation in Real Time — No two performances are the same.

• Intimate Listening Experience — The Nook’s setting allows you to feel every shift, every breath, every rhythmic twist.

Many Things have performed across the country and continue to carve a unique voice within India’s contemporary instrumental landscape — constantly evolving, constantly exploring.

If you love music that surprises you , that moves from fragile to explosive in a heartbeat, this is your night.

Come sit close.

Listen carefully.

Let the journey unfold.
