About me:: I'm playing Indian ragas on the sitar - an instrument producing a lot of overtones due to the special shape of its bridges and its resonating sympathetic strings.

The actual meaning of the word 'raga' (or 'raag', which is the original pronunciation in sanskrit) is 'that which colours the mind' - and in fact to me, playing a raga is like drawing a picture: In the alap, the basic melodic outline is sketched using the various hues of the Indian musical notes (swaras) with the shades of their constantly changing microtones (shrutis). Later on, faster strokes and brushes come into play filling the acoustic image with vibrant excitement.

Additional to Indian classical music I also do fusion projects with other musical styles, e.g. Jazz, Folk, Celtic, Ambient, Drum & Bass, western and middle Eastern classical, Pop, Rock etc.

Instruments:: Sitar

Influences:: My Indian Teachers

in Benares:
Batuk Nath Mishra, Debasish Sanyal, Dr. J.N. Goswami,
Dr. Raj Bhan Singh (Gwalior Gharana)

in Calcutta:
Prof. Subroto Roy Chowdhury (Senia Gharana),
Pandit Manilal Nag (Bishnupur Gharana)

vielen Dank für's Aufspüren da wie dort und Kompliment retour.

Liebe Grüße

P.S.: Stell mir gerade vor, wie dein Instrument verzerrt klingen würde. So ein Strom-Sitar-Solo gab's ja wahrscheinlich auch noch nicht ...

At 12:54pm on July 18, 2008, Peter Bayreuther said…: Thank You for inviting me - wäre es nicht schön, wenn wir einmal mit Geige und Sitar zusammen spielen würden?

Viele Grüße aus Melle
