Music is a gift.
I am a composer/performer specializing in Indian classical Carnatic music on saxophone, among other creative music.
Check here for news regarding my music as well as some fun stuff.
New releases and occasional free tracks will be posted here.
It is another great loss to the Carnatic music world as Kalpagam Swaminathan passed away yesterday. Her playing had such a depth and profound emotional intensity. I know it will always live on with us.
You can even listen to some of her renditions taken by other music masters and students on youtube. One example is this beautiful rendition in Surutti (a simply divine ragam).
I have been enjoying this gem from the 1967 Krishnaghana Sabha concert where they have rendered the Lalgudi Pancharatnams in addition to an RTP. The whole concert is amazing.

I've been listening to this recording for years, but had never seen a video. I just came across this on youtube. T.N. Krishnan, Trichy Sankaran and G. Harishankar. Hope someone will post the RTP in Bhairavi from this concert on youtube too.
Sankaran and Harishankar are amazing in this clip and even more enjoyable during the rest of the concert.
It would be great to see some video of the masters like Semmangudi when they are in their prime.

I am glad to share the news that my close mentor, friend, and top class morsing artist Bangalore B. Rajashekar has received the TOP grade from All India Radio (AIR). As the name implies, this is the highest level that can be awarded from an artist in the AIR system and is usually only given to seasoned artists who have reached to master level of musicianship.
In my opinion, Sri Rajashekar is a true master and innovator on the morsing. To learn more about him check out the podcast I did along with him during his visit here. Part 1Comments [0]
