Sounds a lot like something Steve Reich would do, cool!

Lovely!

In physics, beat frequencies are created when out of harmony are mixed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_(acoustics) As it goes through the cycle sometimes the sound is pleasant to hear other times is total dissonance which the brain dislikes it (odd harmonics Vs even harmonics). This is why Indian music has no harmony due to Gamakas or sliding or pitch bending are very difficult to harmonize, unlike the Western music where they only play straight notes are easy to harmonize.

vanakkam sir. very cool video. and super interesting to hear.

what a banger. thank you. great title, too.

i too love the cyclical nature - when there are periods of togetherness the combined rhythms sound so familiar that i wonder if the original inspiration for complex solo ornamentation came from such patterns created by several people playing simple rhythms slightly apart?

I’m fascinated! Is this written as a rhythm piece, or did you create it and share it by rote only? Do the verbal sounds have meaning?

Konnakol is a blessing from the most higher gods.

👌🙏

amazing

🙏🙏🙏🙏

Good sir

dude is doing drum solos with his body

Muy bueno! Gracias! Viva la percusión!💥

Contagious high voltage energy! Made our day.

Graceful rain of jathis. Salute to your supreme talent! Totally breathtaking Sir!❤❤

Namaskaram sir. Can you please share the transcript of this jathi? 🙏

Does anyone really hates Konnakol? Such a musical interesting treasure of humanity, impossible not to deeply respect it right away when trying to grasp the understanding of more detailed and intricate rhythms. Gotta love it!

So... that's kanda chapu tisra nadai? Just curious what the proper name for it is. Regardless, awesome konnakol!!

His wife must be EXHAUSTED ;)

how can you hate complex rhythm it's awesome

First like, first comment. (; Very inspiring, but most went right over my head even on repeated hearing. Cheers!

Excellent video and tribute to TKM sir by Manjunath. I join many other offering our namaskaram and birthday wishes to Murthy Sir. Sri Rama Jayam 🙏

Hi Manjunath Sir, amazing Korvai! Just had one question, what is the pattern in terms of when you're converting to Thisram? We couldn't quite work out how to know which phrases are to be switched into Thisram each time?

Super

I can't believe no one has commented on how awesome this is!

Super sir i can see ur passion 🤘🏽

Still super MEGA fans of yours after we (Patrick & Val) sat next to you and Aditya on the train in south-east London quite a few years ago!

Glad to see it !

absolutely amazing, Thank you for sharing! congrats to father and son.

You sir, are the King of Konnakol.

Mind-blowing! Cant believe a child can do this... 😮 Salutations to the father-teacher :) Amazed by Skanda's dedication & hard-work, when other kids his age are enjoying life, it takes so much of focus to work to this extent, sacrificing all his free time and lazing around! This is proof that sheer hard work pays off.. You guys are such an inspiration.. Best wishes and prayers for you all to keep shining and doing your service to music.. 🙏

Makes my mind ache just thinking of playing that! Brilliant stuff!

Super duper good 😄👍

Wow what a build! I love how it starts off sounding fairly simple and steadily gets more and more and more complex. You think they've arrived and they continued on. Gave me goosebumps. Beautiful!
