Rāga flavours examples in concert
User Manual
Methodology
We have selected recordings mainly on Youtube, and we analysed them with the following methodology:
- determination of the tuning, by searching the base note for Sadhja, then the fine pitch tuning in cents
- listening at the alap or vilembit part of each rāga (*)
- accompanying the recording with our MIDI Harmonium player, in order to find the shrutis used (👆 The Harmonium)
(*) Analysis can only be performed during a slow musical part, otherwise it’s very difficult to check the shrutis.
We conducted this study independently, from the recording available on Youtube and other platforms.
If you feel that we made an error on the analysis of a recording, don’t hesitate to report it to us. We will study it again.
