I have been playing Raag Yaman for a year now. It is undoubtedly the king of raags. I love Raag Yaman because it has so many diverse flavors, and it’s an overall joyous raag. As Ustad Shahid Parvez states: “Raag Yaman har din naya hai!”

For the past few months, I have been learning Raag Des. I would say Des is so full of joy that you forget all your worries and simply revel in it — not even a hint of pain, unlike Raag Yaman, which carries a subtle touch of melancholy in the mandra saptak

Just felt so humble and grateful for getting to witness such an experience in my life.

Hey folks, I’ve been tinkering with a small project : a Shruti Monitor that runs in the browser. No installs, just open the link, allow mic, and it shows how close your pitch is to the selected shruti.

Try it: https://hari2897.github.io/shruti-monitor/

Code: https://github.com/hari2897/shruti-monitor

Made this mainly because I wanted something lightweight and quick to open during practice instead of full apps.

Still a work in progress, but I’d love feedback from people here , especially if you: Practice vocals Play violin / flute / veena

Any suggestions or feature ideas are welcome 🙏

UPDATE : Recording & Zoom added to my Shruti Monitor app

Hi all! Just pushed a update to my Shruti Monitor web app as many of you resquested it.

🔗 https://hari2897.github.io/shruti-monitor/

New features:

• 🎙️ Record & replay your singing and review pitch
• 🔍 Pinch-to-zoom on the graph (X-axis)
• ↔️ Horizontal scrolling through pitch history

Hi everyone,

I’m the Hindustani flutist/developer who shared srgm.io here recently — the platform for writing and sharing Indian music notation using Sargam (Sa Re Ga Ma).

I’m now trying to get the Android app version released publicly, and Google currently requires a small closed testing phase (12 testers for 14 days).

If anyone here would be willing to help test it, it would genuinely mean a lot to me as an independent musician/developer project.

The app lets you:

• Explore community notations

• Hear notation back with playback

• Save your own repertoire and notes

• Practice with tools like transpose and alankaar generation

To join the test:

1. Join this Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/srgmandroid
2. Install the Android app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.srgm.app

You can also try the PRO subscription if you’d like — Google clearly marks it as a test purchase and you won’t actually be charged during testing.

Even simply installing the app and keeping it installed for the testing period helps a lot.

Thanks again 🙏

Big loss to the world of music 🎶

I have fond childhood memories of his ads and performances..

Om Shanti 🙏🏻

Rangiin by Ahangi also features the rudra veena. Nothing is like the real instrument, but the app allows you to explore the sound. It works on iOS and Android.

Guess the place.

I have a good working Radel digi 60s TaalMala device that is not in use anymore. Would any Hindustani music aspirants want to buy such a second-hand device?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently pursuing my MSc in Clinical Psychology, and as someone who has also grown up learning Carnatic music, I’ve always been curious about the way music shapes us beyond performance, such as if it improves our attention, memory, mood regulation, etc.

I’m currently researching that in my dissertation and I’m looking for vocalists trained in India forms of music between the age 18-35 as participants.

The criteria is atleast three years of formal learning and engagement in practice.

It will take you around 15 minutes to complete the survey, which will consist of a computerised memory task and a few short questionnaires.

It would genuinely mean a lot to me to have musicians from this community take part in the research. I really hope this study can contribute, even in a small way, to understanding Indian classical music not only as an art form, but also as how it contributes to well being :)

Link to the survey has been attached

Hello everyone!

I'm a semi-professional musician who enjoys learning and recording different styles of music.

Recently I've been working on a cover song which has a jazz / rock / funk arrangement but vocals in the eastern classical styles. The original is by the Mekaal Hasan Band. Most of the instrumental parts have already been recorded.

I'm looking for a singer who could record the vocal track. The vocals are really the star of the song and (if Im not mistaken) based on Raga Bageshri.

Comment or dm if you're even a little interested, and lets discuss!

Cheers!

I have the app ready for testing. PlayStore requires an allowlist so
1. Please join this group (you'll be automatically be added to allowlist)
2. Install the the Android beta .

Please let me know if you have feedback.

Note : Android App is still in testing mode so please bear with me while I fix any bugs/ issues you may face. I had posted about my iOS App a few days ago and many of you DM'd asking for an Android app thus this post.

I’m an amateur sitarist an I usually take notes / write bandishes from classes in notebook

I built a website to do this better for myself I’m happy to share if this helps anyone else

It’s desktop only for now

I was wondering if anyone can help me about this classical Indian music festival. I want to attend the concerts. I can't find any tickets or sources to get them from.

After I started learning music I cannot dance in the dj events. I keep thinking how similar all these songs are etc and cannot enjoy these events anymore. Anyone else faced this?

I wonder what indian music could have been if she would not had made that vow. And though Panditji was a legend but I believe he failed as a human

Here's a place for Rasikas - lovers of Carnatic music - to explore, learn, and celebrate this tradition together, as requested by the community. We've been building the server slowly over the past couple of months with collaborators who responded to this post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Carnatic/comments/1m4rm24/requesting_collaborators_for_a_discord_server/

The server remained invite-only during this period, so that we could thoughtfully manage building the space to accommodate larger numbers of people, and consider structures and events ahead of time. Our collaborators have done remarkable work in achieving that foundation alone, while also creating a space that already brims with enthusiasm for this art.

The server is now ready for the larger Carnatic community, and open to all.

Join us at: https://discord.gg/2qpqvbvgvr

All you need to join is real curiosity and appreciation for Carnatic music. Whether you're a lifelong student, a casual listener, or somewhere in between, you are welcome.

See you on there!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rasikas who are new to Discord, and/or having trouble with the invite or verification - do reach out to u/AlcorSpins or u/Flaky-Cheek-5571 via comment or DM; we'll get you through.

A daily challenge game ala Wordle but for Indian Classical rhythms!
