Harmonium tuned in Just Intonation
Просмотров 8362 года назад
I tuned this old harmonium in 5-limit just intonation, from C, as an initial experiment. It was a lot higher than concert pitch to begin with, so the starting C is 30 cents higher than concert. I'm amazed by how different it sounds when the intervals are in tune. I play ragas bhairav and jaunpuri, and to me the expression in the ragas is much more apparent. The komal Ni (minor 7th) is tuned to ...

Learning to sing in just intonation: raga bhairavi (phrygian mode)
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.5 лет назад
This is tutorial 4 in the series where i go through process of how to learn to sing in just intonation. This process sounds fairly technical, but I have found it to be enormously helpful. If you are learning Indian Classical music it is vital that you relearn to hear natural harmony as Raga music is not equal tempered. In this tutorial I explain reciprocal harmony in the context of the 5-limit ...

Frame drumming and singing in 5 beats - Branan SIlvius
Thank you for being so inspiring. When I hear you it makes me want to practice this type of singing as well.
Tight jam, brother. Thanks for uploading.
Touched my heart and soul
Excellent
Thank you so much for such an incredible interpretation of a beautiful chant honoring Divine Ma. It's possible you shere the notation and words?. Blessings 🙏
It's noteworthy that the 6th harmonic sounds so odd that (as far as I know) was discarded worldwide. Neither western Renaissantistic, nor Indian carnatic, nor turkish makam music set the minor seventh to 7/4, but they rather take some other ratio of the overtones series and extrapolate it to the root (e g, 9/5).
Very cool. Very Celtic.
Beautiful singing and playing on kanjira.
You have a new raving fan
Oh my Goddess! I love this. How much I would love to learn to play and sing this! It might be a lot to ask but would you be so kind to share the drumming pattern? Jai Ma! 🙏🌺
Magical performance.
Your singing with the drum always so beautiful. I recognized the Hamza El Din rhythm near the beginning,
Wow! Excellent Branan sir 🙏 thanks for the opportunity 😇 loved every moment of it and would want to perform again soon!
𝚅𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚗𝚒𝚌𝚎 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚐𝚛𝚊𝚖
Which frame drum is it? It has a very nice and warm sound 🙏
I woyld love to cover this
You're voices sound great together. I enjoyed this recording a lot ❤🙏
Singing while drumming is somehow more impressive to me than any other instrument
This is cool, has Bhav, can tell because have to laugh when he says: kotu hal has 😂
bahut accha
@branandubh where do you get your tanpuras from , which maker ?
Interesting blend of cultures.
Amazing performance, where can I find this frame drum ?
Your intonation is so beautiful. Really feeling inspired to get out my Cooperman and sing with it.
Sat Nam, this is truly beautiful and heart opening. Thank you.
Great,thanks.
Does anyone know what type of frame drum this is and in what key? The sound is incredible!!!
It's a 19" handdance tar made by Cooperman drums, tuned to D
Besides the great drumming, the enunciation of the singing is just spot on
Do you know what this song is about? I just discovered my passion for the frame drum and would love to know what this song is about?
how beautiful ❤️
❤️
So deeply beautiful. I can keep listening to this again and again. ✨💖🙏
Great voice and impressive rendering

Can I participate in these courses online?
Thanks Sir. Deep explanation, very helpful.

Very awesome! Also titled "Cruel Sister" and performed by "Pantagle" in the early seventies or so. Awesome traditional piece of music. "Twa corbies" too!
Dear Branan, thank you so much for the insight and the wonderful Darbari! I would like to share some of my own insights on this topic, kindly do let me know your thoughts :) - I think that the tanpura does indeed represent Atma (pure consciousness that illuminates our mental faculties). Just like Atma is the unchanging observer witnessing all vrittis of the mind, the tanpura provides a harmonic canvas of shadj and pancham, both achal swaras (unchanging) that bear witness to all other notes coming in and out of existence. - On the topic of ragas being the silence between the notes, I've heard a similar quote being attributed to Debussy. I feel this perfectly summarises the pursuit for spiritual enlightenment, as the seeker attempts to realize their own true self as Atma by eliminating all vrittis/thoughts, till only consciousness remains. Practitioners look for these brief moments of mental silence, where nothing but bliss remains. This mirrors the situation where the silence between notes provides that brief glimpse into the pure drone of the Tanpura, where the rasa of the raga remains inconsequential, and only bliss remains. No matter what rasa the raga is, and what bhava it produces, that moment of silence is one of bliss and provides a canvas onto which the emotions of the raga can be painted. Again, many thanks for this video as I'm yet to find any resources on the internet that have been willing to start this dialogue between the deep spiritual insight of ICM. Om!
I would like to add that when one sings in unison with the tAnpurA, the resonance it creates elevates the energy and the divine presence, as a living experience within..
Amazing how he has internalized the music and spiritual connection...
What beautiful Sanskrit recitation. God bless.
Wah
Branan this is really impressive! Do you have by any chance titles for this songs?
I call it 'Goddess Medley'. It's a somewhat spontaneous blending of classic and original material.
Nice! Celtic trad was my first love. I love what you've done with this.
Beautiful!! Thank you always!
I have a query. We talked about S P G and R Ni notes coming from the 2 strings tuned to S and P. But what about the other 7 notes?
Waah ustaad 🙏
Very nice! Hope all is well with you.
Beautiful rendition. Glad to have found your channel. Keep up the great work! If you consider requests, please try raag Multani.
