Introduction To Indian Classical Music 101

The system of Indian classical music known as Raga Sangeet can be traced back nearly two thousand years to its origin in the Vedic hymns of the Hindu temples. Unlike Western classical music which has written scores, an Indian classical performance is based on improvisation, and anywhere from 10% to 90% of the performance could be extempore, depending on the creative imagination of the artist. The music is rendered orally to the disciple by his guru, popularly known as guru-shishya (teacher-student) parampara (tradition).

The very heart of Indian music is the raga, the melodic form upon which the artist improvises his performance. A raga is a scientific, precise, subtle and aesthetic melodic form with its own ascending and descending movement consisting of either a full seven-note octave or a series of six or five notes.

Every raga is characterized by its own particular mood. The acknowledged order of these nine sentiments, or emotions, is as follows: romantic and erotic, humorous, pathetic, anger, heroic, fearful, disgust, amazement and peaceful. Each raga, in addition to being associated with a particular mood, is also closely connected to a particular time of day or a season of the year. Thus through the rich melodies and rhythm of Indian music, every human emotion, every subtle feeling in man and nature, can be musically expressed and experienced.

In terms of aesthetics, a raga is the projection of the artist’s inner spirit: a manifestation of his most profound feelings and sensibilities. The musician breathes life into each raga as he unfolds and expands it so that each note shimmers and pulsates with life and the raga is revealed vibrant and incandescent with beauty.

The tala, or rhythmic cycle of a raga, plays an equally important role in expressing the mood. There is a unique relationship between melody and rhythm. The intricacies depict the complexities and sophistication with which they are woven together. The division in a taal and the stress on the first beat, called sum, are the most important feature. The most exciting moment for a seasoned listener is when both the musicians, after their individual improvisations, come back together on the sum.

Today, Indian classical music is a permanent part of Western culture. Many composers and musicians have been influenced by our music. The openness, will to learn, and sincere enthusiasm of Western audiences are a continuing source of inspiration and delight. Indian music is one of the highest forms of music existing and nourished through its rich cultural heritage.

How to Choose a Good Unlimited Music Downloads Site

Unlimited music downloads are available for anyone nowadays at online music download sites. Such sites usually offer lifetime or yearly memberships to members who can then get hold of unlimited music downloads for the duration of their membership. Music enthusiasts all like to use such membership sites to download music online. This is understandable since it is so convenient and affordable for most users. What this article would reveal are some of the handy tips we can use to choose a solid site for unlimited music downloads.

1. Membership Fee

Typically, these sites would charge you a one-time fee for unlimited music downloads. If you come across a site that charges you extras or a monthly fee for unlimited music downloads, you may want to move on to another. This is because it is a norm for music sites to only charge a one-time fee of lower than $50 for lifetime access. So be sure to check this out.

2. Music Genre

The kind of music genre the sites offer do matter to most of us since we have our favourite type of songs and music pieces. So if you love rap, make sure to confirm that the site offers it. That said, most sites that offer unlimited music downloads often have many different kinds of music and the selection is quite wide.

3. Media Files Other than Music

This does not matter much to some but if you can get other media files like music, videos, TV shows and wallpaper for your computer, it sure does make the site more attractive to go for. It is part of the package you are paying for so any extra perks do count when you find the best value for money deal.

4. Customer Testimonial & Reviews

The best way to check out a site is to read the customer testimonials. Since you are not a member and there is no way you can know how the experience is like with each download site, you can only rely on the feedback of existing customers. Word of mouth advertising is the best advertising because customers would not lie about their experience. Have you avoided a shop because you have heard your friend spoke something negative about it? See the power? Other than reading testimonials of customers, you should also read some honest reviews written by music critics.

5. Site Quality

When we talk about the quality of sites for unlimited music downloads, it covers a couple of things which are important. A quality site should have fast download speeds so that we can download many music MP3s in the shortest time possible. We all want to listen to our favourite songs quickly so do not let slow download speeds spoil our day. Another factor that makes a site a quality one is the customer support it offers. See if it offers round the clock technical support. Few can match up to this promise but there are a few which I found that would be revealed in my blog.

Look for Bizarre and Sometimes High-priced Music Collectables Online

In today’s internet world it’s become very stress-free to get hold of very looked-for memorabilia and if done right if can be both profitable and enjoyable. Just browsing through some of the listing can be an eye opener, especially when you see some of the hard to believe prices people are asking for rare memorabilia.

If you are going to buy costly music collectables, then the initial thing you need is conclusive verification that what you’re buying is the genuine article and I mean one hundred percent substantiation.

I still find it incredible that I can find practically anything with a quick search on the internet. I think possibly the younger individuals reading this take the internet for granted, as it’s constantly been there for them, but I have bought memorabilia in the past, before the internet days and it involved trawling through music stores, auctions and second hand shops. In fact, what use to take weeks and months now takes seconds, literally.

It could be argued that the older the music artist, the more costly the memorabilia, but I’m not sure I believe that any longer. It depends on who the artist is I expect. If you had a selection of bidding on Elvis Presleys piano or Beethovens piano, which would you plump for and which one do you think would be the most costly. I suppose the price of these things depends on the age of the article for sale and fame of the artist in their own time and more vitally, today. It’s complicated.

There’s is an obvious certainty that, if you are going to be the owner of and handle a piece of memorabilia that was once owned and touched by mega stars such as Elvis, The Beatles and Beethoven, then its going to cost you a small fortune, but I’m sure that if its the true item, then its a safe outlay.

If you are interested in collecting a piece of music history then I suggest you start off small. Get used to the buying process first if you have never used online websites to buy items. Using the internet to purchase any products is very safe if used correctly. Yes, we all know there are lots of scams out there, but there are millions more safe and honest transactions throughout the world. Just using a bit of common sense as you would if you were shopping on the high street is all you need and possibly you will secure your own piece of music history.

Gothic 3 – Best in-game-music ever #3 reloaded


The music of Gothic 3 is IMHO the best ever made for a game. While the score in Myrtana with its forrests and grassy plains uses a full-sized symphony orchestra and choires, the atmosphere in Varant, the desert / arabic part of the Gothic world, is in big parts created by a beautiful ethnic music. I haven’t been to Northmar, the icy part in the game, yet, only a few steps. But when I , heading north eraly in the game, had the first bit of snow under my feet, that scary Northmar piper-music started playing and I almost pissed my pants :) . Too weak for this part of Gothic, I understood and turned south. I made the video using the music playing at night in the city of Geldern (though in the video you see Montera). Used fraps ans windows movie maker.

The Underdog Vs The Music Industry: Radio Airplay For Sale

Before I start, Here is a breakdown of the players involved in radio airplay (Pay For Play).

*Record Company:
A company that makes and sells musical recordings

*Radio Promoter:
The main function is to get airplay for the performer’s latest release. This is usually accomplished by contacting primary and secondary radio stations in each market, making sure they have a copy of the release and urging them to give the recording a chance to be heard by the local listening audience. Over time, competent radio promoters build up relationships with station managers, deejays, and others who are involved in the decision of what songs to play or not play.

*Radio Station Program Director:
In radio, a program director is the person who develops or selects some or all of the content that will be broadcast. A program director’s selections are based upon expertise in the media as well as knowledge of the target demographic. Typically, a program director decides what radio program will be broadcast and when.

————————–
I had a dream of hearing my music on FM radio While recording songs for my first album. I took the first single from my album to the radio station and met with the program director. The program director played my song and said that it was a hit. However, the song would not get played on the radio without a payment.

The program director said that record companies pay for radio airplay. Pay for play is the reason that you hear the same songs over and over on the radio.

The program director told me the amount of money needed for my song to get played on the radio. He also referred me to a radio promoter to set up the payment to make sure there was no direct connection between the radio station and me.

Note To all recording Artists:
Pay for play only happens with radio station in the United States. Other countries would love to play your music without a payment. So make the best records you can and never give up.
