B C Manjunath and Varijashree Venugopal

75/16 = 1/4+1/16+2/4+2/16+3/4+3/16+4/4+4/16+5/4+5/16
Fortunate for having amazing Varijashree Venugopal in this video. I have been wanting to do a collab with VV for a long time. Trust me she got this whole thing executed in a jiffy.
Video starts off with single time Teermana by VV, then moves on to two times but alternating between me and VV. Most exciting part of video happens from 0.44 where VV starts off with reverse tala and next cycle I go into reverse tala and then we come back together to the same pattern at around 1.06 in the third cycle of three times teermana. Finally we end with Muktaya or korvai with three kinds of variations.
It has been an exciting thought process and execution doing this video where i did my part in India and VV did her part in USA. Thanks to technology and thanks to social media.
Hope you all are able to appreciate the intricacies and finess behind this video.
ENJOY 😊

It's unfortunate truly amazing music like this doesn't get the attention it deserves. The skill level here is so high that most people don't understand or appreciate what they are hearing. Keep it up

[@adhanda2017]

and to think only a few years ago jazz was limited to 4/4 ...........

[@crapadopalese]

It's a lot of skill, but do you enjoy the result enough to play it at a party? Skill doesn't always equate beauty.

[@depthsofabjection]

ok and

[@guitarandhow]

Wow, her voice is so soothing. I would really like to see and hear her in videos more often!

[@error.418]

She has an amazing voice to go with that rhythmic fluency

[@roccos2311]

Why is traditional Indian music so complex? I can’t believe how complex it is!!!! My favorite traditional music is Indian music and I’m an Italian from America haha

[@patdavey7187]

I showed this to my wife and her reaction was "this is humans at their best. Sharing and collaborating". True say. I can follow the clapping beat cycle until the two performs split. Still working on it. Thank you.

[@dragonairone2485]

Pat Davey well put. This is humans at their best. So wonderful to see something like this shine so bright. It gives me hope that there are still the spiritually enlightened individuals tucked away, working on powerful ideas from the shadows of these “blind times” - (people like you Pat, the musicians in this video, and others who do beautiful work for the right reasons, thank you so much.). - A friend from the shadows

[@markknoop777]

Patrick Davey fancy bumping into you here😂👏🏼 She's awesome right? And the rhythmic stuff they're doing here blows my mind!

[@patdavey7187]

@@markknoop777 well howdy sir. How good to hear from you. I just sent you an insta invite, be good to see you man. I finally have learned this piece after many months of practice. It's mind blowing. I should make a "cover" vid when I get a mo. Hows you?

[@markknoop777]

@@patdavey7187 good thanks! Been getting back into playing music after years of distractions. I wonder if KZbin knew to highlight your comment as I was watching/followed Tongue Fu stuff recently after Dan told me about you guys being on Radio 4. Or maybe just coincidence 🤷🏻‍♂️See you on insta!

[@zxxz0000]

I just keep playing this video over and over again it's so good

YEAH RIGHT?!?!?!??!!!11111 xD

[@ghostboy152]

Her singing is so perfect

[@Gazzkirk]

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!

[@marta5sings]

This is one of the most amazing things I have ever heard and seen. Thank you!!

[@tutorsoar]

Welcome to the Indian culture!

[@innermusic7408]

Coming back to this after 2 years and it still inspires my soul.

[@ManjunathBC]

Thanks a lot 🙏

[@AlwaysDr3aming]

How am I just now discovering this? This is seriously inspirational. I want to further study this in order to gain a better understanding of music and different cultures. Many of us Americans are so comfortable with our 4/4 time signatures and don't take the time to truly seek out other styles outside of our culture. I hope to learn something from this.

[@matoussverak5320]

Check out David Bruce, he made an analysis of this

[@tharunsankar4926]

Math rock exists to kinda get rid of that.

[@mahadevangiridhar6566]

Introduce yourselves to carnatic music too if you guys haven't already.

[@staceycastellanos8922]

The GOLDEN RULE! This is why it’s so mesmerizing,. It’s so interesting and I like it

[@tuma79]

Hindolam sounds beautiful in this rendition

[@error.418]

Varijashree Venugopal is amazing!

[@stevebadachmusic]

I've listened to this about 50 times in the last 2 days and it's actually starting to make sense!

I must study it! Its mind blowing

[@perappelgren948]

This really stuck! Just cannot stop listening! Fantastic!

[@vicentealvarado5608]

I always read your descriptions for an understanding of your awesome music, but as I'm not someone well versed in Konnakol there's only so much I can grasp. I'd love if you could make more explanatory videos. Keep it up‼️‼️

[@WarrenPostma]

This one is pretty good... kzbin.info/www/bejne/harcl3-qjraWras

Western music needs to expand its boundaries!

[@PariahVSGear]

This was the coolest thing I've ever seen/heard that I have absolutely no understanding of. And yes, her voice is amazing. Wow.

[@unbasedcontrarian]

It’s the first time I’ve come across this style of music today… I’m blown away by the incredible skill of the artists with this beautiful musical language

Two things are evident in this video- Varjashree is a marvelously gifted and dedicated student, and Manjunath is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable instructor......(or is that 4 things? ..6?)

Nice composition Manjunath sir

[@indy1972]

Mesmerizing

[@foreversmiler950]

I don't understand but I love this so much!

[@suvrat]

My understanding is this: They are doing - 1, then 1/4, then 2, then 2/4, so on till 5 + 5/4. So it's an 18 + 3/4 cycle. Am I right?

[@ChandasTelugu]

I'm not sure but my understanding is, Instead of singing among conventional ×1 ×2 ×4... speeds, They singing among ×1 ×1.25 ×1.5 ×1.75 ×2 speeds.
