Same Experiment-part 2: Think of "Azhagana Ratchasiye" from the movie "Mudhalvan" (or mudhalvudu in telugu? or mudhalvaru in Kannada? ) ). (of course, this is besides the obvious 'ga ma ri' standing out and hitting my head with a large hammer, saying "hey, I'm a kanada") Yay! Alright, let's me do the the 'hypnotising' trick.Įxperiment: When I imagine the song "Puthu Vellai Mazhai" from "Roja" (Its Yeh Haseen Vadiyan from Roja), the flow of "Vellai Mazhai" the song brings memories of the opening verses of the classical/filmi song "Alaipayuthey" (or even the lines "Pookkal Illaye" from the song "Poomalai Vaangi Vanthaan" (Sindhu Bhairavi)). We are not even going to be dealing with swaras (notes) in this text. A pattern is very 'hummable' and memorisable. They have set 'patterns' that are characteristics (think of how a Ballad or a 'Kural' has a 'pattern' in its layout. No, but what I would do is look into myself and find out 'why' and 'how' whatever raga identification I do works the way it does and then come up with a 'rule' to it.įirstly, It is easier to start identifying ragas than identifying a 'western scale'. I'm going to hypnotize myself and continue to write the rest of this text. If you answered 'yes' for all of the above, you would probably benefit by this text (or so I genuinely hope). Do I often tend to say "'this' song sounds like 'that' song"? Can I reproduce a piece of tune I heard? (by singing, humming, whistling)ģ. Do I enjoy listening to Carnatic or Carnatic-like Music? (hint: Most of south indian filmi music - Ilayaraaja and some of Rahman types music is based on Carnatic too!)Ģ. But hey, some TamBram guys get turned on by Carnatic as well, so there!)Īlright! Before proceeding to read, ask yourself the following questions:ġ. (This may not be very appealing to the women population reading this (atleast not to the non- Fire women, I suppose). Almost all of them know Carnatic and it gives you an amazing ability to date and mate.
It gives you brownie points if you are in a carnatic-speaking audience to say " ah, this is a pure Agmark kapi raga"ģ. It just gives you a 'kick' to find what 'raga' a given song is in.Ģ. You are most likely to 'enjoy' applying this over non-pure-carnatic music like light-music or even your favourite Rock song!).īeing able to identify ragas could be a plus in many ways:ġ. This is only for the longing 'rasika' who wants to know the underlying 'raga' that comprises a song (now, this isn't only about Carnatic. Music students have a natural course and more 'systematic' way of gaining the ability to start identifying ragas. This write-up is not aimed at the Music Student. SunsonA few people asked me to give them the fu in identify ragas and I thought this is reason enough to write this 'mini howto'!
