For anyone who’s interested, this is in a rhythmic cycle of 7 beats called ‘misra chapu’. This is what they are doing when clapping their hand to their laps. The piece (or thaniavarthanam) consists of a very complicated mohra and korvai-two of the most essential elements to a South Indian percussive piece. Mohra and korvai have guidelines which are too complicated to put in English, but those guidelines can be exploited amazingly like what has been done here. I had a konakkol competition recently and I also had misra Chapu. Exciting to see so many people interested in this ancient art.

DragonHunter Where can you learn more about this?

@dragonhunter6900 6 жыл бұрын

Lily Espitia There are plenty of books written about konakkol if you look online. You can also learn from a guru (teacher). I would recommend Rohan Krishnamurthy for beginners, because I’m pretty sure he gives lessons internationally via Skype. He is also known for making fusion pieces and combining South Indian percussion with other types of music. I used to learn from him, but left him around three years ago when I wanted to learn the more historic and traditional aspect of the art, rather than the modern version.

Conveniently, I have a professor from Sri Lanka who has taught me a lot about carnatic percussion. Since I only speak Germanic languages, quickly reciting solkattu is very difficult for me.

@mrbananaman8032 3 жыл бұрын

What is much harder than any of those things is playing the basic beat on one hand, another beat on the other while your main consciousness spits out the vocal rhythm, all while lightly dancing with the base rhythm every few sub seconds to make sure it's all still aligning

I could be wrong but assuming it lines up with the beat below it on the sheet music it looks like 9 hits over 4 quarter note pulses. So, effectively a 9:4 polyrhythm.

@argmined 3 жыл бұрын

It is amazing to see such interest in this music. I do not know Carnatic music but it has similarities with the rhythm (tala) system used in the Hindustani styles in the northern part of India that have evolved with Turkish and Persian percussions. The drum interpretation is brilliant but there are two things to remark about the theory on top of the drum interpretation: 1. The syllables they're pronouncing are not merely to fit the rhythm but are an entire language representing what is to be played on the South Indian percussion "mridangam" - which is unlike drums in the sense that it produces harmonics (a few semi-notes often) and played with hands. The syllable (mnemonic) dhin is assigned to the strike on the drum that would roughly make the sound that we make when we say the word dhin. 2. For a while (e.g. 1:25-1:33) the performers switch to poetry (e.g. Gurpurandara dasa in 1:25-1:33 ... ) that has been written with syllables matching those that are to be played in the rhythm cycle. Imagine if have syllables like dhin, ta, dhit etc. and we also try to write poetry with words using these syllables. This is an element of beauty that only singing (or verbalising the sequence) can bring about.

Rhythm in American music is a lost art. When they have both hands going and are spitting the rhythm on top of it, they've already surpassed most jazz and prog drummers. Even the drums in the video is playing in 2d vs their 3d. The drummer would need to play two unique rhythms on each hand to match their hands AND THEN play what he's playing on top of it on whatever limbs are left over.

@spoingus20 2 жыл бұрын

yeah what are they doing with both of their hands?? i see quarter notes sometimes but what is going on with the other hand then

@mrbananaman8032 2 жыл бұрын

@@spoingus20 the other hand (assuming its a consistent beat) is the other side of the polyrhythm. If it's not a straight forward beat in its own vacuum, then it's just a really weird pattern that likely is very similar or at least feels similar to playing a polyrhythm. Probably due to a weird time signature. Here, play a 3:2 polyrhythmsl with your hands: both, right-left right. Repeat. To the rhythm of: Duh, duh duh duh, duh, duh duh duh, duh, duh duh duh.
