i have been casually learning about indian classical music and had a very hard time understanding tala and especially nadai. this lecture has helped immensely. i understand it now, at least the basics. very helpful.
Sounds particularly interesting when he says "it's not mathematics, it's music". Been said from a musician, from a country we owe so much about math, in a music when numbers matter so much...
I would appreciate more detail on how 3 + 3 + 3 is not 4 + 5. If it is 1 note per kriya. It is 9 notes in a row. Unless there is a pause which affects the layout of the notes, will they not be exactly the same.If there is a pause, then it is no longer equal spacing for each kriya as originally setup.
I think because in carnatic music the sankeerna or 9 is a combination of 4 and 5, If you're familiar with the sollukattu it goes like this- 3: ta ki ta 4: ta ka di mi 5: ta ka ta ki ta 9: ta ka di mi ta ka ta ki ta And not ta ki ta ta ki ta ta ki ta It must be something that's been followed for a long time and as he says it has been followed for the purpose of music and possibly for variety... The accentuation of the syllables in the music might also play a pivotal role for such an assembly.... And also just doing 3 3 3 would be essentially like doing 3.... This is my guess I'm not really sure to be honest.
