I am a composer/performer specializing in Indian classical music on saxophone, among other creative music.
This was my "random stuff" blog, but now I'm trying to simplify and reduce, so I'm just going to have one blog. Check here for real important news regarding my music as well as some fun stuff. I also brought in all my old posts for a one stop blog...thing.
New releases and occasional free tracks will be posted here!
I live in the Bay Area with my wife and cat.
I also enjoy fiddling with gadgets and other tech in my spare time...or sometimes when I am supposed to be doing something more important...
Playing and listening to music is a gift.
While I'm figuring this whole thing out, you can still find:
My podcast at http://podcast.prasantmusic.com until I figure out how to bring that over too.

Gargantuan NOAH 'Arc' Proposed to New Orleans with Straight Face [Architecture]
How do you know when your building plan has gotten unnecessarily crazy and pretentious? When it's named after a Biblical figure who was fabled to save life as we know it...that might be a clue.
NOAH (New Orleans Arcology Habitat) is a massive, 1200-foot city within a building that's hurricane-proof and can actually float (don't worry, it's tethered to something or other). Conceptualized through a mind trust of three architectural firms, green (wind, solar and water) energies would help power the structure's 20,000 residences, 1,000,000 square feet of commercial space, school, hospital and, just for fun, 3 casinos.
[Yanko via DVICE]
On one hand, this floating triangle seems like nothing less than a feat of modern engineering, a clever idea that's both structurally sound and handy in an emergency. On the other, have we given up so much on New Orleans that architects should abandon existing infrastructure altogether? If culture and way of life are not things we're looking to preserve, then why not just tell residents to move and be done with it?

This seems a little odd.

VidyA at Cheeseboard August 15 for India Independence fun!
Hi folks. It has been a great summer for VidyA playing concerts at San Jose Jazz, SFJazz and Yoshi's. Now we are doing a much more relaxed, and much longer appearance at the Cheeseboard co-op bakery in Berkeley.
Steve, one of the main folks at the co-op has told me that the pizza that they will serve that day will "change my life." So its probably best you don't miss the pizza August 15!We are doing 2 sets: Saturday, August 15, 11:45 am-2:45 pm and 4:45 pm to 7:45 pm. 6 hours of Indian-themed pizza and VidyA music!With guests Eric Vogler, Bass and Howard Wiley, Drums. It should be fun. Of course, its free.More info here:
P.S. We are doing a concert September 11 at De Young Museum as part of Jazz at the Intersection series. More on that soon. Mark your calendars!
