Khyal: Music & Imagination 1.2

Free Version
Publisher Description
Explore two beautiful performances of North Indian classical music and learn about its form, style, and technique. This app features video recordings of two complete concert performances of khyal, the most popular vocal form in this tradition, by Sudokshina Chatterjee (Raga Miyan ki Malhar) and Atul Khandekar (Raga Shyam Kalyan). Moving your finger over four mixer sliders, or on the video window itself, allows you to hear the different sound elements (voice, tabla, harmonium and tanpura) in your preferred mix. This is a unique chance to hear the singing voice alone, for instance, or to experience the difference made by the tabla, harmonium or tanpura when added in. Key points in each performance are marked as selectable ‘clips’: selecting a clip moves you to a particular point in the performance and opens up information about the techniques the musicians are using at that specific moment. Taken as a whole this gives you an overview of the musical form. The app is designed as a flexible educational tool for those getting to know khyal, as well as for the enjoyment of Indian music lovers everywhere.
