A raga is
not a composition per se, but rather consists of a particular combination which includes one or
more recognizable melody lines, a distinct scale (which may differ in the ascending and
descending), and a particular tal (rhythm cycle). Ragas, like symphonies, consist of movements,
although these movements are not separated by pauses in playing. A raga usually commences with
an alap, a slow section described as having an "improvised rhythm," and gradually unfolds
through other such sections with a growing complexity and (generally) increase in tempo. Unlike
a symphony, a raga is not composed note-for note; rather, the scale, the rhythm cycle, and the
melody serve as guidelines within which improvisation is a significant element.
Our music based on Raga but treatment are
entirely different .Even taalas are used differently .Both Noth Indian and South Indian taalas
are used extensibly in our composition.
Jazz influence helped us to place the main
structure of the composition in a 8 or 16 bar chorus or chordal sequence.
Please try our sample music and record your
views and send the feedback to us which will help us great deal to grow more.
In this form of music both audience and
performers take part and both of them enjoy as much. Its not only listening pleasure .Its some
kind of therapy .A kind of meta physical experience.
