in Musical

While the domain has been dormant for quite a while, please understand that this isn’t anything more than an expression of my personal dedication to Indian music. We’ve moved from music.binaryturf.com to http://www.musicwith.in. A domain is difficult to find these days but musicwith.in  reflects upon the basic idea of the foundation of this site. There are few subscribers to this blog, but then truly interested audience are rare and difficlut to find.

Welcome to MucisWithin. In the coming days I hope to share my experiences interviewing the gurus in Gwalior.

December 12, 2008

The songs “mustafa mustafa” and “hello doctor” were doing the rounds those days. “Duniya Dilwalon Ki” is a Tamil [...]

When Time Stood Still – Ustad Vilayat Khan Pt. Kishan Maharaj

September 1, 2008

Sometimes you are able to appreciate art through respect than only by interest. If one doesn’t have the ear or the understanding to appreciate a performance, respect is one virtue which shall enable you to enjoy the ‘rasa‘ of the art.
Something similar happens when I witness a performance by classical maestros. Though I didn’t have [...]

The Gurus of Bandish – Ustad Rashid Khan

March 16, 2008

This is a gem in my collection. While an audio compilation may be more enjoyable for the connoisseurs of the classical music to listen and appreciate, there’s quite nothing that can match a live performance. For those who are quite not as lucky, this title brings alive the feel of a live performance. The “The [...]
