A moot point - Kala Ramesh, Pune e-mail: nonesuch@vsnl.net May 10, 2005 |
| Out of sheer nothing
the musician begins her sculpture. To give roop, rang and rasa to the Raga. Minute by minute the raga takes shape to become a living entity, pulsating, sheer beauty. As the artiste gives form to the raga the sound fades away into silence . . . only the memory of the melody remains. The raga vistar lives for that moment alone. Being in the present, rooted in the IS... the ultimate in the journey of life Today - technology captures the masters, past and present, each rendition for posterity, for inspiration and imitation. Would this then lead to cloning? 
Initially the writer started off with South Indian Carnatic Veena, but later she switched over to Hindustani Classical Vocal under Pandit Krishnanand - Chennai. After her marriage, Kala had the fortune of working on Pt Kumar Gandharava's compositions and Nirguni bhajans along with the paramparic bandishes of the Gwalior Gharana, under the guidance of Shubhada Chirmulay, Pune. Kala has performed widely in India. She also has several articles published on Shastriya Sangeet and Indian thought to her credit. She is a just-turned haiku poet and her poems are poised for publication in reputed magazines abroad. |
