  • Classification of Indian Musical Instruments with the General
    Classification of Indian Musical Instruments With the general background and perspective of the entire field of Indian Instrumental Music as explained in previous chapters, this study will now proceed towards a brief description of Indian Musical Instruments. Musical Instruments of all kinds and categories were invented by the exponents of the different times and places, but for the technical purposes a systematic-classification of these instruments was deemed necessary from the ancient time. The classification prevalent those days was formulated in India at least two thousands years ago. The first reference is in the Natyashastra of Bharata. He classified them as ‘Ghana Vadya’, ‘Avanaddha Vadya’, ‘Sushira Vadya’ and ‘Tata Vadya’.1 Bharata used word ‘Atodhya Vadya’ for musical instruments. The term Atodhya is explained earlier than in Amarkosa and Bharata might have adopted it. References: Some references with respect to classification of Indian Musical Instruments are listed below: 1. Bharata refers Musical Instrument as ‘Atodhya Vadya’. Vishnudharmotta Purana describes Atodhya (Ch. XIX) of four types – Tata, Avnaddha, Ghana and Sushira. Later, the term ‘Vitata’ began to be used by some writers in place of Avnaddha. 2. According to Sangita Damodara, Tata Vadyas are favorite of the God, Sushira Vadyas favourite of the Gandharvas, whereas Avnaddha Vadyas of the Rakshasas, while Ghana Vadyas are played by Kinnars. 3. Bharata, Sarangdeva (Ch. VI) and others have classified the musical instruments under four heads: 1 Fundamentals of Indian Music, Dr. Swatantra Sharma , p-86 53 i. Tata (String Instruments) ii. Avanaddha (Instruments covered with membrane) iii. Sushira (Wind Instruments) iv. Ghana (Solid, or the Musical Instruments which are stuck against one another, such as Cymbals).

  • JBH the Art of the Drum
    THE ART OF THE DRUM: THE RELIGIOUS AND SPIRITUAL DYNAMIC OF DRUMMING AND DRUM CRAFTING IN FIJI, JAPAN, INDIA, MOROCCO AND CUBA JESSE BROWNER-HAMLIN THE BRISTOL FELLOWSHIP HAMILTON COLLEGE WWW.THEARTOFTHEDRUM.BLOGSPOT.COM AUGUST 2007 – AUGUST 2008 2 In the original parameters of my Bristol Fellowship, I aspired to investigate the religious and spiritual dynamic of drumming and drum crafting in Fiji, Japan, India, Morocco, the Dominican Republic, and Trinidad and Tobago. As any academic will attest, field research tends to march to beat of its own drum, if you will. The beauty of my fellowship was that I could have conducted the research in just about any country in the world. Music is everywhere; and moreover, drums are the oldest instrument known to man. Along the way, I modestly altered the itinerary: in the end, I conducted research in Fiji, Japan, India, Western Europe, Morocco and Cuba. It truly was a remarkable experience to have full autonomy over my research: I am infinitely grateful that the Bristol Family and Hamilton College (represented by Ginny Dosch) gave me the freedom to modify my itinerary as I saw fit. To be successful while conducting field research, you need to be flexible. While several of my hypotheses from my proposal were examined and tested, I often found myself in unscripted situations. The daily unpredictability of the fellowship is what makes it such a profound and exciting experience, as every day is an adventure. With the blessing of technology, this fellowship was carried out in “real time.” Because I actively maintained a website, www.theartofthedrum.blogspot.com, my research and multimedia were posted almost instantaneously, and thus, my family and friends back in the States could read about my experiences, see my pictures and watch my videos.

  • Zero-G Vindaloops Audio CD Booklet
    Zero-G VindaLoops Zero-GZero-G Here it is! Zero-G ‘Vindaloops’. A spicy concoction of Indian percussion loops, single shot hits and authentic Bhangra instrumentation and effects. We envisage these samples being used in the widest range of musical styles imaginable including Dance, Ambient and, of course, Bhangra. Some of the samples are mono, some stereo depending on age, sampler used and so on. Some are in mono because, quite frankly, we felt that they sounded better that way! In order to help make the rhythm cycle of each loop more comprehensible to western ears we have generally looped samples over 2 bars. Breaks, fills, rolls and hits are distin- guished by being repeated twice with a small gap in between for you to hit the “sample” button. [IMPORTANT: A lot of these loops were originally played without a click track so b.p.m.s are given approximately - you should therefore be prepared to experiment with loop lengths and tempos to give the best feel for your particular groove.] Loops are grouped in homogeneous “kits” of similar sounds and tempos where possible, but there’s no reason why you shouldn’t mix and match as you please. The samples have been collected over a long period of time using a variety of samplers but currently we use a heavily upgraded Kurzweil K2000 as our main “Workhorse” (Respect to Darren Driscoll of Music Mart, London, Canada. Hope the little one is well!!), supplemented by our faithful Akai S1000. ‘Vindaloops’ samples were recorded and equalised using a Studiomaster P7 desk (many thanx K.M.

  • An Inquiry Into Contextualized Christian Expression in North India
    © 2011 M. J. Gracin ii ABSTRACT AN INQUIRY INTO CONTEXTUALIZED CHRISTIAN EXPRESSION IN NORTH INDIA M. J. Gracin Liberty University The riches of India’s ancient and diverse culture are proclaimed from the music that communicates the heart of Bharat Mata – Mother India. This sentiment resounds across the vast geographical area of India in songs from Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists, Christians and Bollywood composers. The question of how Christians might express their faith in light of societal, historical and religious amalgamations is the topic of discussion for this project. The inquiry will focus on the music culture of North India, specifically as it is expressed in the city of B_____, Uttar Pradesh. A six week field study was conducted in India to interview Hindu musicians and non-musicians. Audio and video recordings were made of the interviews, and photographs and recordings were made of various performances. The analysis endeavors to fill the gap concerning an understanding of the need for contextualized Christian expression and recommendations are presented for carrying out the task. iii CONTENTS CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION ................................................................................................5 Project Significance ...............................................................................................................5 Definition of Purpose .............................................................................................................9 Intended Outcomes .............................................................................................................

  • Harmonic and Timbre Analysis of Tabla Strokes
    HARMONIC AND TIMBRE ANALYSIS OF TABLA STROKES Anirban Patranabis1, Kaushik Banerjee1, Vishal Midya2, Sneha Chakraborty2, Shankha Sanyal1, Archi Banerjee1, Ranjan Sengupta1and Dipak Ghosh1 1Sir C V Raman Centre for Physics and Music, Jadavpur University, Kolkata 700032, India 2Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, India Abstract Indian twin drums mainly bayan and dayan (tabla) are the most important percussion instruments in India popularly used for keeping rhythm. It is a twin percussion/drum instrument of which the right hand drum is called dayan and the left hand drum is called bayan. Tabla strokes are commonly called as `bol', constitutes a series of syllables. In this study we have studied the timbre characteristics of nine strokes from each of five different tablas. Timbre parameters were calculated from LTAS of each stroke signals. Study of timbre characteristics is one of the most important deterministic approach for analyzing tabla and its stroke characteristics. Statistical correlations among timbre parameters were measured and also through factor analysis we get to know about the parameters of timbre analysis which are closely related. Tabla strokes have unique harmonic and timbral characteristics at mid frequency range and have no uniqueness at low frequency ranges. Introduction Among the percussion instruments, ‘tabla’ is one of the most important musical instruments in India. Tabla plays an important role in accompanying vocalists, instrumentalists and dancers in every style of music from classical to light in India, mainly used for keeping rhythm. The 'right hand' drum, called the dayan (also called the dahina, or the tabla) is a conical (almost cylindrical) drum shell carved out of a solid piece of hard wood.
