This is an intro to my new artistic journey, embodies the philosophies of MAYA, which in ancient Hindu philosophies means Illusion, or a projection of the mind. In the first installation, we explore a very brief introduction to his concept.

Moh Maya - Aramb (The Start) Mix

This was a very fun high energy groovy set with lots of fun nudisco tunes mixed with old school 90s San Francisco House sound!

The Morsing / Jaw Harp was first recorded by Srilekha Vedula.
I expanded on it with other instruments.

Morsinging v1.3

Śrāvaṇa -  captures the vibrant spirit of the Hindu month of Sravana, a time marked by devotion, ritual, and the rejuvenating monsoon rains. This piece draws inspiration from the rhythmic dance of raindrops, the lushness of the revived earth, and the mesmerizing beauty of peacocks—symbols of grace and joy, who dance in celebration of the season. The music evokes the interplay of rain and renewal through flowing harmonic textures, blending Raaga-inspired motifs with shimmering colors. The peacocks’ vibrant plumage and their call to the clouds find expression in melodic flourishes, offering a musical portrayal of nature's exuberant response to Sravana’s showers and spiritual energy.

Śrāvaṇa - Red Note Ensemble - Sound Festival 2024

This idea started with the chorus acoustic, and ultimately ended up being lead by the bass for the rest of the idea so far.

Wrote the chorus part first and wanted to theme it after the cold. Here's how it turned out so far.

For long I have been wanting to ‘visualise’ sound waves by devising a method of 3 dimensional steam projection, to visualise in three dimensions the actual sound waves as they interfere and bounce around a room.  Mutation 2, is a tactile alternative: when played at loud enough level, one can move through the room and experience the vibrations of the standing waves and nodes with one’s head and body.  

They key material in Mutation 2 is again micro intervals from my own scales, to create beatings.  The difference here lies in the execution: it is realised by a Nord Modular 2x synthesizer and therefore the microtonal pitch values have a certain precision that human players cannot achieve.  The synthetic sounds are presented at a relatively loud level, so that the glossy sound completely penetrates the space and body.  

When played at a decent level through loudspeakers (this effect obviously won't work through headphones), the undeniable physicality of the sounds are tangible.  They contain so much energy and the listener can move through the room and literally explore the waves. From turning the head to the sides, left right the sound changes dramatically.  Moving slightly forward or backwards, one can step into a ‘hotspot’ of pulsing beats.  One more step and the effect is completely gone, one only hears the two tones.  

At some points during the progression of the piece, I can feel my inner ear react to the sound.  I feel a vibration in the eardrum area, a kind of sympathic resonance. Something prior to otoacoustic emissions. At a louder volume full otoacoustic emission happens on some of the microtonal clusters. 

The oscillating pulsing sounds can be compared to visual flickering or strobe lights at different tempos.  It has a disorienting, hallucinatory effect (when played at loud enough level), at once putting the listeners in a kind of isolation that may feel subliminal.  This also has a powerful effect of being in the absolute ‘now’ or present – there is no tempo insinuated, only the constant bombardment of flickering rhythms.  When played at softer levels, it still has some of the effect and an austere presence that I would compare to a David Lynch slow camera movement through a dark corridor with red curtains at the end.  I say this because it feels to me as if the music completely lacks emotional content and it makes it slightly eerie. The response I feel is as if I experience my body without the soul in it, as if in a dream.
