The Concept of Seamless Korvais

Post by chitravina ravikiran »

Numerous students of music as well as performing artistes approached me after my Music Academy Lec-dem on my concept of Seamless Korvais (a magical approach to create rhythmic cadenza patterns). I am happy to make the entire presentation available to all.

Please feel free to use & share. Due to paucity of time, I could not cover numerous other korvais of mine but this presentation can be used as a model to create hundreds of such advanced-level seamless korvais that can enrich both melody and rhythm. If anything is unclear in this presentation, I'll be happy to clarify...

A couple of people who attended the event are also trying to share the audios online.

A great help for those who missed the lec dem.
Yes, waiting for the audio.

Hasn't the music academy video-recorded the lec-dems?
(I missed the lec-dem sessions )

It's possible that the same consultant who helped create the software for choosing the awardees will also help with these....;)

Chitraveena Ravikiran,

Witnessing you as a child showcasing your 'cognitive' musical abilities sitting on the lap of your beloved and Great Maestro Father Sangita Kala Acharya Sri Chitraveena Narasimhan and watching the excellence you aim and achieve in all the aspects of one of the greatest arts, Karnatic Music, I am in complete delight. Your latest contribution is also a worthy and valuable in the annals of history and musicology of Karnatic Music.
I and other Senior Citizen rasikas can only offer our Blessings for your fulfillment in all the endeavors in the present and in future.

For those who missed this presentation at the Music Academy and for those who want to understand better ..
here is a well documented form of the presentation in video and text. Hope this helps! The audio recording was a personal one done from the audience, please excuse the minor background noises but it is mostly good quality.
