I have always been a jack of many trades.( I swear I will not say all) Eventually the classic adage has been proved once again in the case music too. So, You must have got it. In music also I have been jack. But I consider music as my master. I just learned the basic theory behind music and have had a training for a bit over a couple of years, that too during high school. My violin has divorced me since then. I then became a singing jack. Sounds funny? But I got frustrated that jack has become a tag for whatever I do. So I decided to explore. I composed a song in the first raga according to carnatic music. They call it kanakangi. I can compare it with my blog. Very very few people have heard and used it. Musicians believe that as there are no closer notes no pleasant melodies can be made out of it. I swore I will make things out of it. I have been trying ever since

Hi Vijay,
All the best with Kanakangi..! Veteran singer K J Yesudas has sung two songs in Kanakangi – Shree Gana Natham composed by Tyagaraja and “Moham ennum mayap payei” for the film SindhuBhairavi, music composed by Ilayaraja. Listening to these will help you understand that pleasant melodies are indeed possible in this raga and this raga is actually made of only closer notes and that is the beauty of this raga.
Cheers,
Nandakumar
