Marz by Anisha Prabhu (cover)

First raag I learned from my teacher was this one.

Gajavadana Beduve in Raga Hamsadhwani

This is the 30th anniversary of Alice in Chains' album Dirt. I heard the album for the first time probably a decade after it released. My discovery of Rock music and Seattle's flavor of it was sometime after the turn of the century. Layne passed in a couple of years. With Rock there's always a high casualty rate. 
Jerry Cantrell's guitar riffs sounded big. With its own identity, and, complete. With a motif, a body, and an end. Layne's vocals & lyrics took it to a whole another level. 

The lyrics themselves; knowing what transpired in his life, is a window into his life and struggles with war, addiction, and loneliness. 

Here's a cover of this song I recorded in a single take with my Portable recorder. I'm using a Baby Talyor acoustic + delay + looper pedals going into my Bass amp.  It's a meloncholic song, with a rather somber message.

Jaunpuri has always been a favorite Raag of mine. My first exposure to it was through Pt Bhimsenji and his superhit version of the popular Purandaradas bhajan, Yaake Mookanado. 
It also was the first Raag I learned to play on the guitar, full 20 years after I picked one up, and for the keen observer, every note I play on the guitar fits the melodic template of the raag. 
Here's an arrangement of a popular bandish in Raag Jaunpuri composed by Smt Ashwini Bhide Deshpandeji. Hope you like it.

Paayal Baajat - Live session Dec 10, 2022

Experimental track with Maschine synths and electric guitars. Trying to emulate late 80s prog rock sound.

Gazer voices - Influences

Experimental Indian classical music project. I'm a musician and producer based in California, with roots in Indian classical music.  I learned Bollywood & Sandalwood (Karnataka) songs, semi-classical, bhajans, & Indian classical from age 5 until 18. After which, I discovered pop, rock, metal, blues, jazz, & western classical music - in that order.  My perspective is unique and, I hope, so is my music.
