Hello all! This is a major feature in the concert format of our music called Alapana where the artist explores and performs his own interpretation of the given raga or scale. Here, we do not have any percussion support and as it is purely personal imagination, it invariably varies from artist to artist, of course adherence to the grammer is a must. Check this out in my 1st video.
In the 2nd video I perform a ragamalika swaram i.e swaram played in different scales. Swaram also is similar to alapana only thing is we have percussion support and all our improvisations have to adher to a cycle of beats.
Please excuse the AV quality as it was recorded live. Hope you enjoy it and feedback welcome....
