Dear Diary,
Here is another piece of
Classical Indian music. I decided to use Raag Bhairavi which is another scale:
the second and sixth degrees of the scale are lowered by a semitone. This is
also illustrated at the beginning of the video. Again, the tonic (or ‘Sa’)
was C.
I used flute and harmonium as the
major source of melody. The tambourine and tabla were given independent
rhythmic patterns and were assigned as ostinati. However, the loud gong and
bowl gong was replaced by a harp that was used to mimic the sound/feel of a swarmandal.
As much as I wished, the software
could not do the andolan or swing. Hence, use of more acciaccaturas was used as
a substitution apart from instances where the true acciaccaturas were required.
The drawing and painting were
both done on Thursday 23 July 2020 in the afternoon at home number two. The
full colouring took approximately two and a half hours long.
