Music and Sound

A week of complete laziness post exams, time to get back on to write that "which must be written" n told about atlast!!!
well its the " Music and Sound Technology" course running under the banner of summer school. Its Instructor, Prof. C.P. Narayan of IDC, is acclaimed for songs of khoobsurat, Jajantaram Mamantaram, Kiss me Cadbury add etc. The course enlisted some interesting things that made me curious enough to enroll in it, such as -Defining music in sound, Concept of Anhad, Naad, Shadj, scale system and the Raga, Time and Space theory in music, Music for the visual medium, elements of a Recording studio and Recording Softwares.

Well its 3 days since the class started and trust me -its a mixed image. Though I dint expected of so much bakar in between, yet its the norm like don't teach like technical subjects but more like a conversation, to convey an idea, a very abstract one, and highlight of past three days is nothing but the class. First day we were shown videos of "The Kid- by Charlie Chaplin", "Sindhi Bhairavi- by Ustad Salamat Ali and Nazakat Ali" and "Michael Jackson - Will You Be There" . By these the mood was set- for 3 long hours I kept looking at my watch when would the class end, quite unexpecting it to last so long!! The concepts and ideals of Nataya and Rasina was explained with its subtlities. Next day the topics of Naad, Aaghat and Unhaad was discussed with the practice to identify the Sadja of various songs. With Harmonica performance and singing on tanpura app on mobile- it was fun. Then the 3rd day -we continued with identifying sadja first, with a overview of Raga framework, not the details but the idea behind it.
