Listen: How tabla players accompany specially choreographed kathak works
In the last instalment of our series on tabla accompaniment to Hindustani vocal music and dance, we look closely at specially choreographed works that form a part of kathak performances and require a different skill from tabla players. Given the fact that these are largely precomposed works often using vocal forms like taranas that are interspersed with dance, pakhawaj or tabla compositions, the tabla players have to rehearse these compositions in order to be well-acquainted with the sequence of changes within each work. At times, the music ensemble may have a tabla player who does not usually accompany the dancer. In such cases, dancers may choose to have an additional tabla player or pakhawaj player who regularly accompanies them, as these musicians have memorised the sequences and can take the lead in guiding the rhythmic accompaniment. On other occasions, especially when dancers travel overseas, the usual ensemble does not accompany them. In such cases, they may even choose to use a recorded version of the music for their dance recitals. The track in today's instalment features a tarana in the raag Nand set to the 12-matra Ektaal. It is sung by well-known vocalist and composer Ashit Desai and is interpreted by the renowned dancer Durga Lal. Listeners will note the manner in which the tabla follows the footwork and dance compositions as well as the syllables of the tarana. Play

Stolen director Karan Tejpal says films with 'good person doing good things and winning' are boring: 'We are all flawed'
Director Karan Tejpal's Stolen has finally found its way to reach the Indian audiences. Two years after it won viewers over in film festivals across the world, the film is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. In a chat with HT ahead of the release, the debutant director opened up about his filmmaking choices and more. Stolen stars Abhishek Banerjee as an urban man accused of stealing a baby from a railway platform, and how he and his brother are embroiled in a situation from which there is no escape. Interestingly, the film chooses Abhishek's Gautam, the more morally ambiguous character, as the protagonist. The younger brother, Raman (played by Shubham Vardhan), is more morally upright, but not the central character. Explaining that choice, Karan says, 'That is a more dramatic story to tell, and hence, you are drawn to it more naturally. If you tell a story about a good person who does really good things and then wins at the end, it may be slightly boring.' Connecting the choice to relatability, the sophomore filmmaker says, "Why we wanted to tell a story about a flawed character is because all of us are flawed, whether we accept it or not. In our private thoughts, we are extremely flawed, which is why we relate to such characters. Almost all filmmakers want to start with a flawed or under duress character so you can build from there." In an age when small independent films with offbeat subjects are struggling to find audiences, Karan chose Stolen for his debut. When asked why, he shrugs and says, "I just knew this one way to go. So, it's not like there was any choice for me." Stolen, backed by Anurag Kashyap, Nikkhil Advani, Kiran Rao, and Vikramaditya Motwane, is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

Fragrant Ragaz Set to Enchant Pune: A First-of-Its-Kind Multi-Sensory Raga Experience
SMPL New Delhi [India], June 6: In a world where art forms often exist in silos, Fragrant Ragaz emerges as a pioneering experience that dissolves boundaries, inviting audiences to engage with Indian classical music through all five senses. This patented concept transforms the traditional listening experience into a multi-sensory journey, where ragas are not only heard but also seen, touched, tasted, and smelled. The Visionaries Behind the Experience At the helm of Fragrant Ragaz are two visionaries: Dr. Kaustuv Kanti Ganguli, a distinguished Hindustani classical vocalist and professor of music AI, and Mohanish Jaju, an innovator with a passion for sensory storytelling. Dr. Ganguli's deep understanding of ragas and their emotional nuances, combined with Jaju's expertise in creating immersive environments, culminates in an experience that redefines how audiences connect with music. Their collaboration is not just a fusion of music and technology but a holistic approach to experiencing art. By integrating elements like aroma, texture, and taste, they aim to evoke the rasa--the emotional essence--of each raga, offering a profound connection that resonates on multiple sensory levels. A Symphony of Senses Fragrant Ragaz is structured as a journey through three distinct chambers, each meticulously designed to engage different senses: 1. The Aroma Chamber: Here, specific fragrances corresponding to particular ragas envelop the space, allowing participants to 'smell' the mood and emotion of the music. 2. The Texture and Taste Chamber: Textures and flavors are curated to align with the raga's character, enabling attendees to 'feel' and 'taste' the music's essence. 3. The Visual and Auditory Chamber: A live concert featuring vocals, Sarangi, keyboard, and Tabla is enhanced with visual projections, creating a synesthetic experience where sight and sound converge. This immersive walk culminates in a live performance, where the boundaries between performer and audience blur, and the raga is experienced as a living, breathing entity. Collaborations That Elevate the Experience The richness of Fragrant Ragaz is amplified by collaborations with experts in various sensory domains: - Devendra Sugandhi, Aroma Partner: 'Fragrance has the power to transport us to different emotional landscapes. By aligning specific scents with ragas, we create an olfactory pathway to the soul of the music.' - Chef Sarvesh, Food Partner: 'Taste is deeply linked to memory and emotion. By pairing flavors with musical notes, we offer a palate that resonates with the raga's mood.' - Between-D-Notess, Music Partner: 'Our goal is to create an immersive soundscape that triggers memory, not only complementing but also enhancing the multi-sensory elements, making raga a holistic experience.' A Patented Innovation Fragrant Ragaz builds on patents in mapping musical versus fragrance notes, filed in the USA, UAE, and India, underscoring its uniqueness and the innovative approach to experiencing immersive music spaces. This recognition not only validates the concept but also sets a precedent for future explorations in multi-sensory art forms. The Road Ahead Following a successful showcase at the notable event at the G5A Foundation in Mumbai, Fragrant Ragaz is set to enchant audiences in Pune. Tickets are available through a secure Razorpay gateway, ensuring a seamless booking experience. The event will feature a 30-minute guided walk with slots available from 4pm to 7:30pm, followed by the world's first immersive Raga Music live concert starting at 8:30pm. As the world seeks deeper, more meaningful connections with art, Fragrant Ragaz stands as a testament to the boundless possibilities when tradition meets innovation.
