  • Chapter I Introduction
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Life is struggle, sacrifice, and worthy. On the other side, the people say that life means study or effort. People must struggle their right and obligation too. The struggling, sacrificing, and affording are one of requisites for acquiring their appreciations, dreams, and aims. The appreciation is the last destination that is brought into reality by the people. So everyone needs appreciation in their life. The appreciation is like a dream, goal or destination. It is a soul in proving something done by people. Appreciation can give the spirit and energy for someone in reaching their aim in their life. Many people that have acquired appreciation, they would be proud and satisfy both for themselves and another people in surrounding. However, sometimes the people have wrong ways to prove their appreciations. Appreciation need includes self actualization of human needs. Self actualization is one fundamental need in humanistic psychological theory. This need is part of hierarchy need in humanistic psychological theory. Humanistic psychology views humans as active creature with freedom. Abraham Maslow had explained the humanistic analysis in the psychological theory. The theory of Maslow is the hierarchy of needs that are the 1 2 psychological needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs and esteem needs. The four points above is the deficient needs or the basic needs. Maslow next had explained the growth needs as a motivation of human. The growth needs include self actualization (Clearer perception of reality, Acceptance of self, Other and nature, Spontaneity, Problem-centering, Detachment and the need for solitude, Autonomy, Independent of culture and environment, Continued fresher of appreciation, The mystic experience, the oceanic feeling, Oneness with humanity, Deep interpersonal relations, Democratic character structure, Ethical means towards moral ands, Philosophical, Creativeness).

  • Memories – a Tribute to RD Burman by Usha Uthup & Munna Raj Launched at the 2Nd Kolkata Literature Festival
    Press Release Memories – A Tribute To RD Burman By Usha Uthup & Munna Raj Launched At The 2nd Kolkata Literature Festival - Ramesh Sippy & Zeenat Aman Speaks About Their Association With RD Burman And Launches The Album Released By Asha Audio - Kolkata, 6th February, 2015: Memories, Usha Uthup’s tribute to her mentor, RD Burman, composed by Munna Raj, was released at the 2nd Kolkata Literature Festival (KLF) held at the 39th International Kolkata Book Fair by noted filmmaker, Mr Ramesh Sippy & screen diva of yesteryears, Ms Zeenat Aman. The audio CD comprising of 8 new songs has been released by Asha Audio Company. Memories is a collection of eight Bengali modern songs by Usha Uthup which is a rare musical tribute to RD Burman. Memories is also a long cherished dream come true for Usha Uthup who was actually identified by RD Burman at a Park Street pub in Kolkata. The association grew stronger and the listeners got a treasure trove from the duo in films like Bombay To Goa, Hare Rama Hare Krishna, Shalimar & Shaan, which are chartbusters even today. Incidentally, with Memories, Usha Uthup recorded for a Bengali album after a gap of almost 15 years. “It has been a deep journey with Pancham. I really have some wonderful memories with him. Never ever I came across such a musical genius. The sound he created and the tune he composed are still loved and are immensely popular. While recording for Memories it was an actual Down Memory Lane experience for me with the same retro sound and feel of the 70's and 80's.

  • Linking Prototypical, Stock Knowledge with the Creative Musicianship Displayed in Raga Performance
    LINKING PROTOTYPICAL, STOCK KNOWLEDGE WITH THE CREATIVE MUSICIANSHIP DISPLAYED IN RAGA PERFORMANCE Preeti Rao and Kaustuv Kanti Ganguli Department of Electrical Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai. {prao,kaustuvkanti}@ee.iitb.ac.in Abstract- Indian classical music is an oral tradition where training is imparted principally through demonstration. There exist text resources however that provide theoretical constructs relating to the raga and tala frameworks. For example, raga grammar is considered to provide the technical boundaries of a raga in the face of the seemingly high flexibility available to the artist in performance. In this work, we consider the computational analyses of audio recordings of raga performances by eminent Hindustani vocal artistes in the context of what is considered the mandatory raga grammar. Our analyses of performance audio use computational models to achieve an understanding of: (i) how the mandatory grammar is satisfied in performance, (ii) whether there are other consistent practices observed for a raga apart from what is specified by the grammar, and (iii) how the artist improvises i.e. uses the stock knowledge of the raga lexicon/grammar in “new” ways. Keywords- Raga-characteristic phrase, acoustic measurements, raga grammar, improvisation. 1. Introduction A raga performance by a virtuoso is marked by considerable creativity while also strongly maintaining the identity of the raga in the ears of the listener. Raga grammar is typically presented in terms of the allowed svara (tonal material) and the relative importance of the svaras, and the svara sequences (aroh, avroh and the characteristic phrases). The intonations and durations of selected svaras may be specified too.
