#melody of tabla

[g0j0s]

being an Indian classical dancer is so beautiful. you’re an actor who enacts and narrates stories with your eyes and limbs.

but you’re also an instrument with your bells that reverberate in the tunes you wish to compose.

you’re a lover and a traitor, a god and a demon. you are stories and places and elements and kings and maids alike.

you live so many lifetimes amidst the taal of a tabla and melodies curated centuries ago to be passed down to your bells on the stage at that time.

Teri Nazron ne dil ka Kiya ho hasher Asar yeh hua...

No one's pov..

His shoulders sore, eyes almost drooping as he removed one last bandaid from his torso.. sliding his white kurta down his body like he was ready to sleep..

Sun almost setting in the horizon after having a long day..

Right now the reddish and orange tint all around the Delhi made it look so divine and peaceful, ram felt a sense of warmth yet the emotions inside his heart of hurting so many indian brothers still hadn't left his mind.

Almost everyone of them were in hospital..

Another day, another riot, another stain of so many blood spots on his uniform, and new set of bruises already increased the glory of his body..

He was so used to it now that he couldn't care any less it all stopped affecting him so long ago ...

Grabbing the Chandogya upanishad.. he was currently reading to distract himself from his own thoughts that were slowly consuming him didn't left his mind..

Everything was silent but his mind was loud with so many voices..

He opened the book, he was in middle of bhrigu valli which contained the value of cultures and rituals perfomed by priests..

Bheem had been becoming his other half slowly he never made any friend but the curly haired man with pure innocent behaviour just made him feel so happy and alive..

Right now he was not thinking about Bheem.. it was something else or someone else.. their another half.. the apple of their eyes..

He felt so guilty.. so damn torturing cause he didn't told his friends the real identity of him being a police officer and working for those white bastards..

*Aadya*

The name crossed his mind and all the things related to her immediately crossed his mind..

Her eyes

Her wheatish complexion

Her height she was small like she wasn't too small but managed to reach his ears..

The way her hair flowed, her sharp eyes, how her mouth used to snap like fire..

How she always gave  the most sassy comments and always gave those disgusting looks to those whites and those brown people too who worked under them..

She was always that fire who always managed to give ram a sense of warmth and comfort..

He was shocked when she fought her mother about her being friends with him..

A man and woman being friends was considered as a sin in the eyes of society but the woman who was an amazing Archer didn't cared about it..

She was so good in archery that she managed to hit the target being blindfolded as well as people called her female Arjuna..

Cause she was just like Arjuna..

He knew how much she hated and cursed at those people whenever she saw them.. who was working under Britishers... He had seen her hardwork how much she was determined to get her country free.. from being the only woman to attend rebel meetings and shooting arrows to speaking English and having the audacity to stand face to face with those white officers..

Ram was also one of them, but she didn't knew about it.. ofcourse he knew she will never gonna be his friend, he knew that she will eventually gonna hate him and leave him so he was just waiting for that moment until then just enjoy being with her .. her presence used to cast a spell on him..

He didn't knew how a woman can make him feel things like this..

He was completely lost in his book by now, he didn't cared if he needed medical attention or if he was tired.. he just loved saying this to himself "just one more page"

The sound of ghungroos caught his attention.. the temple across his house.. it was navratri.. so the atmosphere was cheerful and people were just enjoying the festival..

Ram was not a religious person so he didn't bothered to even think about it ..

The melodious sounds of tablas, and the master giving instructions..

He immediately knew who was it..

Scarlet red fabric caught his attention as his eyes got fixed on his window..

There was she...

Hands and hair adored with mogra strings.. kohl decorated eyes, with ghungroos in her both feet as she moved gracefully..

He forgot to breathe

Lost his sanity just staring lost..

The sun's rays fell on her face making her looked like an apsara mistakenly fallen from Heaven..

Ram forgot everything his injuries his guilts his mind and gaze and soul were just trying to take in the moment..

She moved to and fro, her ghungroos making a rhythmic noise, he would be lying if he said she didn't looked stunning in red..

Her raven hair blow with her every move, as she danced gracefully and with full dedication..

He wasn't tired or exhausted anymore.. he wasn't feeling anything else just her filling him slowly fully..

She just used to make this amazing dance form with her beauty alot more mesmerizing..

Her enchanting beauty was beyond the world..

He knew at this moment he was falling slowly..

To Have My Sister Back - Mir Mahfuz Ali - Bangladesh

Deeba, did you know I went to your room yesterday looking for you?

The room was so dark I thought you were sleeping. I tiptoed, whispered your name in a hanged man’s voice – Deeba – Deeba – Deeba. But you did not reply. I drew the curtains to catch your eyes in the light, only to be disappointed.

You were not there only everything else that was yours: saris in the alna lipstick, hair clips, hair brush on the dressing table, finger marks on the mirror, shadowy, without intent, tablas on the almira tanpura and sitar leaning on the side of your bed.

It looked as though nothing visits your room but the pungent dust of the growing city that is trying to claim hold of your belongings.

An overpowering silence in the room, so overpowering in fact that I could hear your invisible hands still tapping the tablas you revered, so I picked up the tanpura and pulled its string to bring back a little melody to the room that died with you.

Bardo Pond — Volume 9 (Fire Records)

As its title indicates, Volume 9 is the ninth in a series of releases, dating back to 2000, of outtakes, jams and Bardo Pond-related sonic ephemera. But while most of the earlier Volumes were originally made and distributed independently by the band (on CDr, in small batches), Volume 9 has been released by Bardo Pond’s current label Fire Records on vinyl and as a digital download. The new (sorta) record makes visible Fire’s ongoing reissue campaign of the Volumes, including a number on vinyl of various splashy shades. That enterprise may principally be a collector’s fixation, and one might wonder about the relative value of the music, beyond the layers of insider hipness, the fluorescent orange records and the many, many 15-minute-plus explorations of deep and dark psychic terrain.

The relatively higher profile of its release implies that something is different about Volume 9, and the record makes good on that gesture. To be sure, if one listens to some of the earlier Volumes, there’s a charm to their shaggy-dog quality; see Volume 3, which wanders elliptically from informal studio jams like “Sifaka” to intensely stoned improv meditations like “Lomand” — sounds, one imagines, of a typical weekend at Lemur House in the early Aughts. Volume 9, on the other hand,feels like a more sonically focused affair, and the record makes more sense as a record, rather than just a collection of moments, however winning or blissed out.

Tracks on the first side — the long-ish (by Bardo standards, anyway, for whom songs don’t get really long until you top 20 minutes) “Conjunctio” and “The Nine Doubts” — were both recorded with Philly percussionist Michael Zanghi, likely best known as the drummer in the Violators, Kurt Vile’s live and frequent backing band. On these recordings, Zanghi leans into Eastern textures and flavors. There are suggestions of tabla in “Conjunctio,” along with tambourine and other hand-held percussive instruments. The Gibbons brothers’ fuzzed and fucked-with guitars dominate, as ever, but Bardo listeners who dig it when Isobel Sollenberger picks up her flute (and if you don’t, what are you doing listening to the band in the first place?) will want to tune into her playing, which hangs at the edge of the mix, spectral and mournful.

While “Conjunctio” suggests a bare melody and spends the rest of its time floating in the general area of that suggestion, “War is Over” is far more grounded in harmonic statement and something approaching song form. Two versions of the song appear on Volume 9: a three-minute statement and a twenty-one minute exploration of the statement’s potential. Both are evocative, yearning, a little melancholy. But the long version is the real deal, and for listeners attracted to the band’s sludgy psychedelia, it’s a terrific experience. Few bands are able to combine deliberation and slow accumulation with ecstatic abandon like Bardo Pond, and “War is Over” works that dynamic masterfully. While the song does not achieve the transcendent chaos of some of the band’s most sublime performances (see their cover of “Maggot Brain,” for instance, but buckle up), its fealty to its basic melodic structure makes it special and beautiful in different ways.

Volume 9 might not be the best way in to Bardo Pond’s particular powers and pleasures for the novice, but for anyone already familiar with the band’s remarkable music, the record is more than just a number for the completist. You’ll play it. And it will fill you with the peculiar, sometimes magnificent, sometimes terrifying joy that only Bardo Pond can create.

Veera Raj Veera

This OS is inspired by the sang 'Veera Raj Veera' from ps2

~Kaaneero neer kaan, Sozha Vetri vaal ondrai Kaaneero~ [Are you not seeing it?

Can you not see the victorious Chozha sword? ]

Arulmozhi was getting ready. He was to leave the Choodamani Monastery today. He had asked Vanathi to be there on his left and had left her to get ready. The plan was made.

~O azhagiye poovae, Selludhiyo, malaridu po sagi~ [ O beautiful flower, Will you not garland him, o friend? ]

He came down the stairs. He was being rained with flowers. Just then Vanathi came infront of him with a smile. He smiled back at her. She too threw a handful of flowers on him. "She looks so beautiful today" he thought to himself.

They stared at each other for some time and moved forward, down the stairs, side by side. Everyone was looking at them and chearing.

~Veera Raja Veera Soora theera soora Veezha sozha veera Seerar gnyaalam vaazha Vaarai vaagai soora~ [ O royal warrior! O brave and strong one. Invincible Chozha warrior May the world prosper Hail to your victory! ]

It was night time. They were sailing. They were to reach the southern banks of Bharat in two days. Musicians and singers were singing a song on the Cholas and their brave Soldiers. He stood their looking and listening to them.

~Thoduvor pagai porai nadugal serkkum veera maara kaadhal maara Poovor engum theera Paavor pottrum veera~ [ Those who dare to oppose you, you send them to their graves O angel of undying love Lovely damsels yearn for you. We sing your glory, o brave one! ]

Some female dancers and singers joined the melody. Enchanting the people and soldiers which were on board. Arulmozhi's chest swelled with pride as the recited the greatness and achievements of their ancestors.

~Aayiram vezham pola Porkkalam serum sozha Vendha Raja Raja! Vaarai vaagai Soora! Veera Raja Veera Soora theera soora~ [ A sword on your waist, carrying the world on your shoulders come and rule us Board your ships! Enter the battlefield like Thousand charging elephants! O Lord! King of King! Come, Hail to your victory! ]

While everyone was engaged in the music and dance, Arulmozhi's eyes wandered off. He was searching for a perticular person. He turned away to look at the wave which just had hit the hull of the ship. Just then heard a voice which his ears were waiting desperately to hear.

~Viraliyar gaanam paada Kanigaiyar nadanam aada-~ [ Royal maidens sing and women dance- ]

He quickly looked back at the performers as Vanathi came into the picture. She saw him and smiled while still singing.

~-Paavaiyar kulavai poda Parithear sagadam aada~ [ -Singers sing in celebration Horse chariots move in harmony. ]

Their eyes locked as she started to dance. He thought that he was in heaven when he saw her singing and dancing. Even though he didn't like that he thought about her this way.

~Alaimel Kathirai Pola Vilangidum aruma deva Padaiyani Perumai saattra Pulavargal thamizhum theera~ [ Like the rising sun over dappled waters You shine O Lord! When singing praises of your army Poets struggle to find words. ]

Everyone was enchanted by Vanathi's dancing and singing. She looked like an Apsara who had descended on the earth in the light of the fire lamps and moonlight.

~Kadalmel puyalai pola Kalangal virainthu paaya Vannalai seeratta Thenpulam eengum veera Veera Raj Veera Soora dheer doora~ [ Like the blustery wind skimming the sea Your ships sped across the choppy waters Blowy waves caress you Charge south, O valiant warrior! ]

With this last sentence Vanathi and the group of girls took a leave, and some men came and stared doing Bharatnatyam on the rhythm of the sitar.

The lady on the sitar was pouring her heart out while playing it as the Tabla vadak accompanied her. It felt as if they were challenging each other. Everyone watched it with a big smile etched on their faces. It was magnificent and a show full of celebration. The whole vibe in the ship was positive. Everyone was happy that their beloved prince was safe and healthy.

~Kootraagil Sel, Kaatraagi sel Sara sara sara saravena velmazhai than Peidhida Para para para paravena paayattum paaimaaram~ [Be assertive, go like a wind to rain arrows let's sail the ship faster]

The Tabla Vadak did a splendid solo as Vanathi and the other maidens came again with an Aarti plate. Every girl was holding an Aarti plate exept Vanathi. They all danced on the rhythm. Especially Vanathi, who was the lead.

~Malavargal veeram kanna Samuthiram veruvi pogum Uruviya vaalai kandu Piraimadhi naani pogum~ [ To witness the bravery of warriors the sea becomes scared of when he pulls out the sword The Moon will shy away ]

Vanathi was dancing with all her heart. The waves seemed to dance with her. He stared at her for some time and then started to walk towards the front of the deck where the stairs were.

~Ethirigal uthiram serndhu Kuthikadal vannamaagum Udhirndhidum pagaivar thegam kadalukku annamaagum~ [ The blood of enemies Makes the sea change its color the bodies of enemies become food for the creatures in the ocean ]

She started to twirl around. Her flowy dress moved with her. It looked like the water in the ocean itself had surrendered to her and was following her around. He wasn't able to keep his eyes off her. A mischievous smile played on his lips.

~Pulimagan veeram kandu pagaikkulam sithari odum saramazhai peithal kandu kadalalai karaikku odum~ [ After witnessing the bravery of Chozha tiger The enemies run away After witnessing the rain of arrows The sea waves runs to seashore. ]

She walked towards the stairs and took her Aarti plate which was kept on a table. She looked up at him and started to ascend the stairs. A smile was there on her face, even though she was singing. She came in front of him.

~Adada perum veera edada thodi vaalai~ [ O such bravery Take your sword ]

She stepped forward and started to do the Aarti. As she neared him, he took a step behind and bowed back. Teasing her. She saw a mischievous glint in his eyes. She started to feel dizzy, but as she was going to fall, a strong, muscular arm cought her. The Plate fell from her hands and landed on the deck with a loud clang. The fire of her oil lamp started to spread a little. But it didn't matter to them

~thodada sara maalai adhuda pagaivorai.~ [ Make garlands Kill your enemies. ]

Her body filled with goosebumps as he slowly slid his hand around her back and waist, pulling her closer. Their bodies clashed together. And in the heat of the moment, he put his other arm around her too, and lifted her up.

~Veera Raja Veera Soora Dheera Soora Veezha Chola Veera Seerar Gniyalam Vazha Varai Vagai Sooda~

He started to twirl her around. She put her arms around his neck, giving her some support. Their noses were touching each other's. The time seemed to slow for them as a big wave hit the deck, engulfing and drenching them both. Leaving them wet head to toe.

~Thoduvor Pagaipporai Nadukal Serkum Veera Mara Kadhal Mara Poovor Yengum Dheera~

He felt his cheeks burn as she rested her nose on his cheek. Their cheeks were sticked together along with their bodies. The people around them weren't able to see this scene because of the waves, etc. He still kept twirling around in circles. All of their hair and clothes had sticked onto them. She pulled her head up, which had been resting on his neck, and their eyes met. They were millimetres close. So close that they could kiss each other.

~Ayiram Vezham Pola Porkkalam Serum Chola Vendha Raja Raja Varai Vagai Sooda~

Their faces were red because of this moment and their last thought. They were late to realise that they were too close but in the end they did. He slowly placed her down. She loosened her grip on his neck and pulled her hands down so that they now rested on his chest. The waves were still clashing, making it hard for people to look at them.

~Em Thamizh Vazhga Vazhga Veera Cholam Vazhga~

Though she had loosened her grip, his hands didn't left her waist for a long time. They both stared at each other. She was grasping for air. His hair were sticked to his head.

~Natramizh Vazhga Vazhga Nallor Dhesam Vazhga~

He slowly let go of her after a long time. Their minds cleared up as they took in their surroundings. The singers were still singing. The people on the instruments were pouring their hearts out. No one had been able to see them. When the atmosphere finally cleared up, they only the aftermath. Some of the maidens, the Ilavarasi and the Ilavarasare were drenched wet.

~Em Thamizh Vazhga Vazhga Veera Cholam Vazhga~

They both shared a knowing look with each other. No one in the ship had come to know about their little.... Whatever you can call it. This was their secret which they never shared with anyone...... except for their Akka and her Husband offcourse.

~Natramizh Vazhga Vazhga Nallor Dhesam Vazhga, Veeraaaaa!~

294: Nashenas // Life is a Heavy Burden

Life is a Heavy Burden Nashenas 2022, Strut (Bandcamp)

Nashenas is one of Afghanistan’s most beloved twentieth century singers. Born in Kandahar in 1935, he was raised in Karachi, British India (now Pakistan) before his family returned to Afghanistan during his adolescence. By his early 20s he had become a popular vocalist, with a weekly national radio slot singing traditional poetry, adaptations of popular Bollywood songs, and (with increasing frequency) his own compositions in Dari and Pashto.

Most of his work is in the ghazal tradition, a form of Arabo-Persian poetic ode (classically a simultaneous address to an absent lover and to God) that has remained popular in the East for nearly 1,500 years. The songs have a meditative consistency of rhythm, his vocals carrying the melody as he accompanies himself with drones on the harmonium while a tabla player supplies percussion, verses broken by instrumental refrains that answer the vocal melody. Nashenas has a panged yet resigned style suitable to the form, never leaning into cheap emotional theatrics. He spools out his words patiently, great feeling leavened by enlightened reservation. I picture him with his eyes closed, sitting cross-legged as he hums and croons the words that billow from the incense burning within him till the room has filled with it. Despite the focus on his voice though, this is quite dynamic music: the drumming on songs like “Life is a Heavy Burden” provides a raw, intense counterpoint to Nashenas’s steady vocal, while the blissful harmonium drone of “I Am Happy Alone” finds a common note with the primary colours of music made by children, outsider folkies, and the untrained.

Physical media wasn’t common in Afghanistan when Nashenas was establishing himself, and radio broadcasts were the primary outlet for performers. What recordings he did make were largely for radio archives, and many of these were apparently destroyed in the wars that have ravaged the region for decades. As a result, little of Nashenas’s prime is well-documented, and prior to this compilation virtually none of what does exist had been released in the West. Life is a Heavy Burden: The Songs and Poetry of Nashenas collects highlights from a brief run of Iranian 45 pressings of Radio Afghanistan recordings from the late ‘50s. The liners elaborate:

Although hard to fully confirm, it appeared these records were part of an arrangement between someone in Radio Afghanistan and Royal, one of the major labels in Iran. …Recordings were presumably supplied to the pressing plant in Tehran to be manufactured and then sold to the Afghan diaspora in the country, or exported back to Afghanistan. It was ultimately unsuccessful, with a few singles released by Nashenas, Zaland, his wife Sara, and others such as Ustad Mahwash, Ghulam Dastagir Shaida, and Ahmad Wali. Whoever arranged it apparently did not inform the artists themselves!

You’d never know how screamingly rare these pieces are, or that they were not sourced from masters, from the job Strut Records has done with Life is a Heavy Burden. The fidelity is brilliant, clearly of another epoch in terms of technology but unmarred by the dust and rough handling endured by near-70-year-old second-hand discs. I’d recommend this one to anyone with an interest in mid-century music from the Middle East and South Asia, or its influence on Western pop and experimental music from the ‘60s onward.

Liner Notes for Nusart Fateh Ali Khan's "The Supreme Collection Volume 1"

Caroline Records is releasing "The Supreme Collection Volume 1" from Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan & Party on August 26, featuring liner notes written for this collection by Jeff Buckley in 1996.

In his notes, Buckley writes: "The first time I heard the voice of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was in Harlem, 1990. My roommate and I stood there, blasting it in his room. We were all awash in the thick undulating tide of dark punjabi tabla rhythms, spiked with synchronized handclaps booming from above and below in hard, perfect time. I heard the clarion call of harmoniums dancing the antique melody around like giant, singing wooden spiders. Then, all of a sudden, the rising of one, then ten voices hovering over the tonic like a flock of geese ascending into formation across the sky. Then came the voice of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Part Buddha, part demon, part mad angel... his voice is velvet fire, simply incomparable. Nusrat's blending of classical improvisations to the art of Qawwali, combined with his out and out daredevil style and his sensitivity, outs him in a category all his own, above all others in his field.... For the true Qawwali, all meanings of the music exist simultaneously and there is no need of purpose for religious dogma. There is only the pilgrimage to the light within the heart, which is the home of God. There is only a pure devotion and a fierce virtuosity to grow wings and soar through music. To plant a kiss on the eyes of Allah and then sing His loving gaze back into the hearts of Man."

In the wake of Buckley's recent tragic death by drowning, Caroline has dedicated this collection to his memory.

Nusart Fateh Ali Khan's "The Supreme Collection Volume 1"

THE COMPLETE LINER NOTES:

"The first time I heard the voice of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was in Harlem, 1990. My roommate and I stood there, blasting it in his room. We were all awash in the thick undulating tide of dark punjabi tabla rhythyms, spiked with synchronized handclaps booming from above and below in hard, perfect time.

I heard the clarion call of harmoniums dancing the antique melody around like giant, singing wooden spiders. Then all of a sudden, the rising of one, then ten voices hovering over the tonic like a flock of geese ascending into formation across the sky.

Then came the voice of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Part Buddha, part demon, part mad angel...his voice is velvet fire, simply incomparable. Nusrat's blending of classical improvisations to the art of Qawwali, combined with his out and out daredevil style and his sensitivity, outs him in a category all his own, above all others in his field.

His every enunciation went straight into me. I knew not one word of Urdu, and somehow it still hooked me into the story that he weaved with his wordless voice. I remember my senses fully froze in order to feel melody after melody crash upon each other in waves of improvisation; with each line being repeated by the men in the chorus, restated again by the main soloists, and then Nusrat setting the whole bloody thing alflame with his rapid-fire scatting, turning classical Indian Solfeggio (Sa, Re, Gha, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ni) into a chaotic/manic birdsong. The phrase burst into a climax somewhere, with Nusrat's upper register painting a melody that made my heart long to fly. The piece went on for fifteen minutes. I ate my heart out. My roommate just looked at me knowingly, muttering, "Nusrat...Fa-teh...A-li...Khaaan," like he had just scored the wine of the century. I felt a rush of adrenaline in my chest, like I was on the edge of a cliff, wondering when I would jump and how well the ocean would catch me: two questions that would never be answered until I experienced the first leap.

That is the sensation and the character of Qawwali music, the music of the Sufis, as best I can describe it.

In between the world of the flesh and the world of the spirit is the void. The Qawwali is the messenger who leaps empty-handed into the abyss and returns carrying messages of love from the Beloved (Allah). These messages have no words, per se, but at the high point of a Qawwali performance, they come in bursts of light into the hearts and minds of the members of the audience. (Of course, by that time the whole house is either hanging from the rafters, or dancing.) This is called Marifat, the inner knowledge, and it is in the aim of the Qawwali tradition to bring the listener into this state: first through the beauty of the poetry and the weight of its meaning; then, eventually, through the Qawwali's use of repetition; repeating the key phrases of the poem until the meaning has melted away to reveal the true form to the listener. I've seen Nusrat and his party repeatedly melt New Yorkers into human beings. At times I've seen him in such a trance while singing that I am sure that the world does not exist for him any longer. The effect it has is gorgeous. These men do not play music, they are music itself.

The texts from which traditional Qawwals are sung come from the works of the great sufi poets: Bulle Shah (1680-1753), Shams Tabrez (d. 1247), Shah Hussain (1538-1599), and the great Sufi poet and scholar, Amir Khusrav (1253-1325), who was the inventor of Qawwali itself. These texts are devotional, of course, meaning poems of worship for Allah (Hamd) and the prophet Muhammad (N'ati-Sharif). There are also love poems (ghazals), where a more secular romantic interplay is happening between man and woman (which I can dig). The Qawwali's, however, see ghazals as a metaphor between Man and the Divine. They don't care about which meaning was derived from where. In the true Sufi way, through their music, any meaning that is needed by the listener is there for the listener to absorb. For the true Qawwali, all meanings of the music exist simutaneously and there is no need of purpose for religious dogma. There is only the pilgrimage to the light within the heart, which is the home of God. There is only a pure devotion and a fierce virtuosity to grow wings and soar through music. To plant a kiss on the eyes of Allah and then sing His loving gaze back home into the hearts of Man."

#365DaysOfVGM Day 187:

Tsukiyoi Castle/Tsukiyoi Castle Battle Theme (Virtua Fighter Cyber Generation: Ambition of the Judgement Six/Virtua Quest [2004])

Another ancient area theme, this one sounds like how I’d want my own desert stage themes to sound like; emotional yet catchy, and never focusing on a single melody for too long, as to communicate a clear focus, something I feel most desert tracks seem to struggle with. The overworld theme containing Drums (The Tabla, perhaps? Just a guess I made in the dark) contributes to the atmosphere, one that’s kinda on the tragic side of things too.

In my imagination, if this game was more popular (And better designed to earn said popularity; mainstream competition for this early 2000s multimedia cyber-world RPG trend included .Hack// and Mega Man Battle Network, and the 90’s still-running Digimon, so it needed something more to coexist in the public space), most people would be here for the battle theme variant, which takes everything a step further; an Electric Guitar and faster pace to indicate the tension of combat, with an expanded melody that surpasses the length of the original even with the higher speed!

The other Strings also get more spotlight inis battle theme, changing in pitch more often throughout. I’d say more, especially about some other instruments I didn’t mention, if I wasn’t so behind schedule. There, a lot to appreciate here, that much is clear

(Length before loop [Normal]: 1.5+ minutes, [Battle]: Nearly 2 minutes)

Bollywood films are characterized by colorful costumes, vibrant music, and elaborate dance sequences. Bollywood movies are often musicals, and feature songs that are integrated into the story. These songs are known as “filmi” songs, and are often very popular in their own right.

Bollywood music is characterized by catchy melodies, energetic rhythms, and emotional lyrics. Filmi songs often make use of traditional Indian instruments such as the sitar, tabla, and sarangi, as well as Western instruments.

EABS meets Jaubi - In Search of a Better Tomorrow - jazz innovators from Poland and Pakistan collaborate on what may be the world fusion album of the year

A few years ago, a very interesting relationship began to develop. A bridge was built out of Jaubi's releases on Astigmatic Records and the increasingly frequent collaborations between musicians from Europe and Asia - out of Latarnik's trip to Pakistan resulting in the widely acclaimed album Nafs at Peace and Zohaib, Dhani and Ali's revisit to Poland, which has been recorded as the EABS meets Jaubi In Search of a Better Tomorrow longplay.

Wrocław and Lahore are almost 7,000 kilometers apart. And despite this immense distance that separates the EABS and Jaubi musicians, the two bands find a surprising amount of common ground that determines their musical explorations. These include both a strong attachment to locality and respect for tradition, a penchant for weaving in some hip-hop elements, and the basis of a love of improvisation and spiritual jazz. It was therefore only a matter of time before they joined forces. And so, they proceeded to build a (cross)cultural bridge between Poland and Pakistan. A bridge whose pillars are Hindustani ragas, polish jazz understood in a variety of ways, and brotherhood in sound. This merger's finale is surprising to such an extent that it is difficult to pigeonhole this collaboration in any way. They met through the Get Your Jazz Together programme, which was launched by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute to help build such bridges. The following day after Jaubi's premiere concert at the OFF Festival in Katowice, the musicians went to Monochrom Studio in Kłodzko Valley, where they spent a week making music together, exchanging ideas and compositions. The outcome of the collaboration surprised them all, materializing in rather dark shades. So how did this happen, given that the recordings were realized in picturesque natural circumstances mid-summer? It was only yesterday that the pandemic restrictions were lifted, the inflation is raging, Russia has invaded Ukraine and no one in our region can be sure of peace anymore, while Pakistan has faced the worst floods in years. So much upheaval has been delivered by the world in recent times that the experience of the past has left its mark even on a sunny present day. Against all odds, however, the musicians are seeking solace, hoping that the tomorrow that is yet to come will finally bring something better. Even after the darkest night, however, comes day. It is known to the group from Lahore, who, often challenged by life, have already sent prayers for peace through their previous album. This is also known to the band from Wrocław, whose musical paths are inextricably bound up with the difficult and painful history of their homeland, and who have already experienced the era of unearthing their foundations and cosmic escapism in the spirit of Sun Ra. Today, they are walking swiftly towards the sun, all together, a group of eight artists whose lives are separated by their place of birth – the cultural education they received and the musical tradition they grew up in – but who are united by that one phrase, melody or emotion which gave origin to each of the compositions collected on the album titled In Search of a Better Tomorrow. Members of EABS: Marek “Latarnik” Pędziwiatr - Grand piano, Fender Rhodes Mark II, Nord Stage 2, Moog Voyager; Marcin Rak - Drums; Paweł “Wuja HZG” Stachowiak - Bass guitar, Moog Little Phatty; Olaf Węgier - Saxophones: tenor, sopran; bass clarinet; Jakub Kurek - Trumpet; Members of Jaubi Ali Riaz Baqar - Guitar Kashif Ali Dhani - Tabla, Vocals Zohaib Hassan Khan - Sarangi Graphic design: Sainer Text: Filip Kalinowski Translation: Magda Marcinkowska Photo: Hubert Misiaczyk

Hi bestie

Hope all is well at ur end

Can I request a moodboard for the song sur sangat from me vasantrao

Have a great day

Manu

hi manu! im doing good now, thanks for reaching out. oh absolutely! mi vasantrao has such a masterpiece of a soundtrack, literally every song is so wonderful and melodious. i hadn't heard sur sangat so much, but OH it won my heart literally immediately. it's so beautiful

i tried a little different design than how i usually draw traditional designs, i wrote the words in devnagari, which might be little difficult to decipher hehehe because of the mirror effect, and scribbled the sitar and tabla in the one stroke line drawing things, because it would've been really heavy if i actually drew the entire instruments, and then the smol motifs are the ones you do see on the designs on a veena <3

Aesthetic Indian Indie Music deserves so much more love! 🫶🏻

- By Preetika Mehta

In the past few years, I’ve noticed this tread of ‘aesthetic’ music playlists making rounds across social media platforms, particularly Instagram and Youtube. And I absolutely love the concept, the idea of music curated for specific vibes and moods is a wonderful thing, especially for someone like me who has music playing all day. Having playlists that match your mood or vibe makes your environment so much more in tune with yourself and creates a better headspace to live in. It’s like background music in the story of your life.

But one thing that slightly disappointed me was the lack of Indian songs curated into these indie aesthetic playlists, even ones curated by Indian people. I don’t mean to say that there are none, Advait is one such artist and curator who has created some amazing Indian artist based playlists and wonderful edits and remixes. I highly recommend checking out his Youtube page, you’ll have a really good time.

But that doesn’t negate the serious lack of appreciation many indie artists and songs get. So, this is my small initiative to start appreciating them more and sharing them with you all as well. I’d also like to talk about the songs on the playlist and highlight stuff that makes the songs so beautiful and deserving of more attention.

List of 10 Indian Indie Songs that will give you serene vibes 🎶

Main Aur Tum By Rono

This song is a beautiful acoustic track with amazing lyrics that’ll instantly touch your heart. Rono has penned down words and emotions that every individual has felt and turned it into the perfect track to just sit with and feel. This is one of my go-to tracks on lonely nights when I miss people I’ve lost connection with. It’s a beautiful introspective melancholy that you sit with.

Tu Jo Kahe by Udbhav & Vedang

If you’re looking for a song that you can just vibe with and play on nights you silently drive on empty roads or just while staring out of your window. The production itself is very interesting, a fusion of modern beats with a traditional tabla. This is a song perfect to simply create a very chill vibe while you take a pause from life.

Ab Jo Mai Hoon by Jaynt

This one is sadly a shorter track that highlights the perspective of who you are in simplistic lyricism and catchy beats and beautiful guitar melody. It’s a track that is perfect for long drives leading to nowhere and moments where you just want to spend some peace and quiet with yourself.

Khayal by Hasan Raheem, Abdullah Kasumbi

Now this track is one that brings in a very expected vibe that one would think of when they think of RnB chill music. The song does have really good lyrics too, for those who are looking for more in a song that just the musicality of it. This song is one I’d recommend to people who prefer RnB and lo-fi beats to play in the background.

Fitoor by Karun

This track too is a blend of strings and RnB productions that is still pretty simplistic to highlight the vocals and rap of Karun. I generally prefer playing this on quiet drives and as a background for when I’m working on something. It’s one you’ll probably like if you liked Khayal or Tu Jo Kahe.

Kya Tum Naraaz Ho? By Tanmaya Bhatnagar

With a very raw quality using just an acoustic guitar in its production, this song is just sad. The lyrics are an apology for hurting someone, asking them to let it go, and promising to be better. Tanmaya’s voice is beautifully haunting and makes sadness simmer in your soul.

Parinde by Ratnang Singh

This one is a more positive and optimistic track, an almost wistful longing for your dreams. The song really is very beautiful and perfect for dreamers who look forward to their future. I prefer this song on happier and more optimistic days and peace that comes with loved friends around.

Tum ho Yahaan by Abhilasha Sinha

This is probably one of the most upbeat songs in this playlist with a more complex production using many instruments. Abhilasha’s voice is so melodic and something you’d expect to hear in the mainstream, with a slightly more pop sound. This song makes her voice stand out so beautifully that you can’t help but appreciate it. While most of the other songs I prefer in quieter nights, this is one I play on happier mornings.

Pehlu by Yoshi & Tarun

Another upbeat track that one would expect to hear in the mainstream, this song brings in beautiful vocals along with a really cool rap verse. A friend of mine describes the vibe this song brings as similar to that of memba, which I can’t deny. The song puts you in a happier mood and is also perfect for sunny days where there is optimism and hope in your heart

Khush To Hai Na by Osho Jain

This is once again a song for the lonely heart but with a very bright and optimistic ukulele instrumental. The production is very minimal and entirely acoustic with Osho’s beautiful voice in the spotlight. The song itself talks of missing someone and hoping that wherever they are, they are happy. Which makes the sadness have a positive glimmer of hope and acceptance. I love the feeling that the song communicates, it brings some happiness to the loneliness.

I hope this little playlist brings you a song or artist you fall in love with and that these artists get more recognition for their wonderful work. Do let me know if you found your sound among these songs or if you have some similar ones you’d like to recommend.

Mumbai: Lata Mangeshkar music college launched on her 93rd birth anniv

In a fitting tribute, the 'Bharat Ratna Lata Dinanath Mangeshkar International Music College & Museum' was inaugurated at the Kalina Campus of the University of Mumbai, here on Wednesday -- on the 93rd birth anniversary of the melody queen who passed away on February 6, officials said. Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis did the honours in the presence of a large number of ministers, political leaders and music personalities like Usha Mangeshkar, Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, Meena Khadilkar, Adinath Mangeshkar, Ashok Patki, Sonu Nigam, Anup Jalota, Pankaj Udas, Mayuresh Pai, Taufiq Qureshi, Lalit Pandit, and others. With this, the University will offer the first six certificate courses of one-year each in Hindustani classical music, Indian flute, tabla, sitar, harmonium/keyboard and sound engineering will be launched with an initial intake of 150 students. In August this year, the Maharashtra government had handed over a 7,000-square metre plot owned by the Directorate of Libraries in the Kalina campus of Mumbai University for the music college. However, as a temporary measure, till the college gets its own building and other amenities, it will function from the P.L. Deshpande Academy, Shinde had said. Lata Mangeshkar desired to start such a music college in memory of her father, Master Dinanath Mangeshkar, and the former Maha Vikas Aghadi government's former Minister Aditya Thackeray had shown her the plot which she had liked. After her demise, the ex-CM Uddhav Thackeray had announced that a world class music college would come up in memory of 'Lata didi', as she was known during her lifetime. Later, the government had set up a 14-member expert advisory board for the college courses which included Chairman Hridaynath Mangeshkar, Usha Mangeshkar, Adinath Mangeshkar, Suresh Wadkar, Mayuresh Pai, Zakir Hussain, A.R. Rahman and other personalities. To start with, the teaching posts will be on an emoluments basis and clerical/ typist jobs will be filled on an external basis, machinery, equipment and other requirements will be purchased, all at a cost of nearly Rs 1.75 crore per month. This fulfils a commitment made by the state government to start the global music college from the current academic year in memory of Lata Mangeshkar. Read the full article

because i believe in equality and fairness here are loona songs i would delete from their discography if i could (once again only my opninon!!! lmao):

1. pose: can we not make loona be the boyz i thought loona when theyre not being the boyz were great... it really is just the chorus (and subpar production quality) that ruins this one for me... hate the drop, hate the shouted “chant”. many parts of the song are enjoyable and have potential, and it’s...more dynamic than, say, ptt, overall, but, dude, that “chorus”... something positive is that i rlly like how heejin sings/raps in this in the same low tone she speaks naturally...unusual and sounds lovely <3

2. not friends: released because ryan jhun is obsessed with himself and was trying to make his brand a big thing or whatever. i’m mad lip’s songwriter debut had to be with him as a producer. i do sometimes watch the video, because, well... :) hehe, but the song is so incredibly bland too... lip’s lyrics did heavy lifting but you can’t work miracles on this.

3. ptt: the most ??? song to choose as a loona title track ever imo. makes no sense from a standpoint of the rest of their discogtaphy, or, music in general. the atrocious chorus opened the door for pose’s chorus.... incorporating tabla would’ve made sense if it was, like, a theme throughout the album, but that album was extremely incoherent, and i’m not sure at all why they made them go “bollywood inspired” all of a sudden at all... loona the world, sure, i guess, but it could’ve been done in a lot of other ways that would’ve made more sense imo. aside from that, the main melody of this song is just…not interesting.

4. dance on my own: a very unworthy follow up to star... this one’s not gonna get that hot radio airplay in the us you’re after blockberry. could’ve been released by some us pop girlie like sabrina carpenter or madison beer or whatever theyre called. baaaasiiiic. the meaning behind the lyrics makes sense for a loona song, but absolutely nothing in the execution worked. lower on the list because of that video where chuu makes funny faces at haseul when they’re performing it trrying to make her laugh.

5. but also #1. uncover: musically...an incredible song, great production, chrord progression and just good composing in general, but, the lyrics? WHY were you making 17 year old choerry sing this... it’s very obviously about having sex for the first time “so come on uncover me now” ??? no minor should be singing these words ever?? either release it with completely different lyrics or find adults to sing it... haseul, vivi and jinsoul were all of age when it came out if you erally wanted to go down that route BLOCKBERRY. honorable mention related to this: love cherry motion. incredibler song. this is a song i wouldn’t delete, but would rather have it performed by an adult, well aware of what they’re doing... choerry can’t listen to or watch performances of this , because she was too young and it was too inappropriate. hanbits, like half of them, boycotted this release and for good reason...

...  that’s it actually! they have fewer songs than pitigi and i can see a fair case being made for all others. once again, this is only my opinions, slightly exaggerated in some cases and in some not... don’t take it seriously sdhsjdfkhfd

#sorry...idk why im doing this .... i just wanted to #i feel like being annoying and complaining a little #but not enough to make sometthing more interesting #long post
