Nothing But wind - my review
In this, Rasa takes a flute to tell the state of the Human
evolution. First the roaring wind of the wilderness enters the
bamboo, some homo sapiens picks it up and plays it. Slowly along
with this man, the World evolves. Railways, Roadways, Motor car,
Industries, Aircrafts...
Along with the evolution of man, the music and the man who plays
the music also evolves. But when the man reached the Rocket era, the
thunderous burst of the Rocket (or it is the burst of Nuclear Bomb?)
the human evolution finds the negative thing in him.
Humans now have the Material Power to
live in a better world, but no peace in them.
War, bullets, the mass murders, the genocide, the nuclear
bomb...the human killing each other makes the Music to raise wails,
But still no avail.. all the human beings are sophisticated now, but
the ETERNAL PEACE is eluding them, they live in this world as if
they are living in HELL, so cries follows, howling as if they are
roasted in HELL's cauldrons as if they are fried in oil when alive.
They go to temples, recite Allah!, Rama!, Jesus! ...
At last, even after so many Gods, so many religions, so many sins,
the mankind is unable to live in peace, the composer who is just a
part of all this human efforts also gets frustrated, with the end he
throws his flute away disgusted. The flute falls in steps.. tick...
tick... tick the music ends there..
This also can be taken as a musical representation of Shavism -
Saiva Siddhantha - the man cannot enjoy the life with "Piravi Pini"
he has to reach the lotus feet of the God so that he can attain
moksha, the ever bliss state, where he will be one with god, never
to born again!.
How to Name It? - my review
In this rasa experiments with Western Music. I feel the success of
this album is what prodded Rasa to go on to create Symphonies like
Thiruvasagam. Here he also introduces the Tamil public to Fugue,
Capella, and so many western musical names. In Chamber welcomes
Thiagaraja, he portrays the western Chamber musicologists meeting
with our Old Raja, the Thiagabrahmmam. In Mozart I love you, rasa
plays the piano like mozart, or he likes to reach to the level of
him. The Mathematical precision of the western pianist is here to be
noted. |

I used to purchase all these Beethovans, Mozarts
from Stereo Vision, near The Hindu news paper Office, on Anna Salai,
just a walking distance from the Richie Street. The cassattes used
to cost a lot. Rs.70/- for a tape to Rs.150/- so i used to record
them. I loved the mathematicial precision of the symphony, but the
symphonies evoked in me memories of World War I, II, people going as
refugees, the black and white horrors of Nazi war. So the Godly -
spiritual element of Indian music is completely missing there. But
still in a way, it is a treat to the ears, and it is the Western
music. |

The following Sentimental Instrumental's are
introduced to me by ex-Sgt. Tony Peris
(my heart felt thanks to him) from Tuticorin Manal Theru. He bought
this Instrumentals at Moscow, Russia
when he was on official tour. He is an avid music lover.
These instrumentals are an example of Western
Classical Musical Thinking. Anyone with True Music Love can
love these pieces of musical algorithms, but the Western musicals
end in bringing Joy to the hearer, where as the
Indian Carnatic music elevates one near
to God, as our music is mostly renderings on Love of God, or the
Love of Creation. Love of God and Love of Creation is what brings
the soothing effect of the Carnatic-Hindustani Music.
Where as these Western classical, however they
impress us with musical-mathematical geniuses, they fail to have the
soothing effect or even at some times result
in stress due to their Metallic content and purposeless sound
production which is an effort to impress the senses.The
Carnatic-Hindustani music, invokes the Kundalini force in a human or
animal. |
