    Salve MusicOffili e RUclipsrs, oggi con il simpaticissimo Mattias Eklundh impareremo un interessante metodo per padroneggiare al meglio le scansioni ritmiche, il "Konnakol"; questo metodo deriva dalla musica indiana e dalla consuetudine di usare delle sillabe per creare una vera e propria forma di "percussione vocale", che nel nostro caso torna molto utile per tenere il passo di divisioni ritmiche anche molto complicate. John McLaughlin ad esempio ha usato moltissimo il Konnakol addirittura come metodo di composizione, lui così come moltissimi altri musicisti entrati in contatto col vasto mondo musicale indiano.
    Buona visione!

    I am from India and was searching for a tutorial on Konnakol. It's so amusing for me, being an Indian, learning an Indian system, from a "Westerner" applying the skills to heavy metal, a genre that is as different from any Indian music and philosophy as anything could be. Thanks for the lesson :).

      Metal and rock have used Indian music theory combined with modern engineering quite commonly. It makes sense considering that Indian culture, religion, and classical music integrated into rock were all big in the time when this music was at it's peak.

    Holy crap. What an amazing lesson. I love how Mattias is so unafraid. As great as the lesson was, his pure spirit to simply be who he is & to get his point across so well AND to be so fun at the same time is wonderful. Brilliant beyond brilliant.

    Thank you for teaching me the name Konnakol. A hundred years ago I saw John McLaughlin, with someone else and Trilok Gertu, who sat on the floor playing tabla and various percussion. At one point in the show, all three musicians broke into this long and highly rhythmic "song" consisting of the spoken percussive sounds Mattias demonstrated above. Trilok was clearly leading it, and it was also clearly being improvised. It was fun and fascinating to watch, and now I know what it was.

    I found out about Konnakol last night, very impressive stuff, I've always tackled rhythm in a similar way breaking everything down into twos and threes and using 'ja ga da' or 'ba ga da' for threes and 'da ga' for twos. Because you use a different part of the mouth for each sound you can bounce between different rhythms really easily.

  • @pongop
    @pongop 3 года назад +1

    Yes! Indian music and rhythm for the win! If you use konnakol/bol and apply this to drums or other instruments, you can practice your instrument with just your voice and when away from your instrument.
