About this music

This piece attempts a traditional Indian classical raga (Gaud Sarang) played on an Upright Piano and supported by the Tabla.

It is essentially a jam session between the piano and the tabla that lasted half an hour and was edited to 5 minutes (hence the second half of the piece is basically improvisation); the alaaps, shakers, tambura drone, guitars etc were added later.

Upright piano, guitar, recording and mixing: Nitin Dubey
Tabla: Prashant Vasudevan
Alaap: Supreetha Bharadwaj

Inspired by Raag Gaud Sarang http://www.itcsra.org/sra_raga/sra_raga_that/sra_raga_that_links/raga.asp?raga_id=56

Hi Nitin… You have again created a wonderful piece of music. Good blend. Sounds very nice. Piano and Tabla were great. The vocals is a good concept and it does sound great too with the instrumentals, though I felt it (vocals) could have been better. It is just my opinion. Others may feel differently…:D Excellent job anyway… N V K ENVEEK - In my “Second Innings”

WOW ! brilliant Nitin this sounds very very good. Prashant Vasudevan was too good on Tabla part and Supreetha was equally good with her vocals. I really enjoyed this Piano-Tabla fusion.

Sounds very good Nitin. Great playing by you on both piano and guitar. The recording and mixing is excellent. I would have preferred the vocals to stay balanced at all times. Part of the slower portions of this reminds me of ‘Dil Cheez Kya Hain’ from Umrao Jaan. May be that song is also based on Gaud Sarang? Kumar.

NVK , Kumar: Thanks. Noted your comment on the alaap and its placement in the mix :) Sudeip, Prem, Ronak, Ashish: Honoured by your comments :) BTW , Kumar: A good example of a hindi song based on Raag Gaud Sarang would be ‘Zindagi jab bhi’ by Talat Aziz from Umrao Jaan. I am not aware if ‘Dil cheez kya hai’ is based on Gaud Sarang. I found something online which says that this song has touches of Raag Bihag.
