It used to be called fusion, very often concocted in confused minds, mostly
an experience of frustration to those who enjoyed traditional Indian music.
With a new generation of
dedicated and serious musicians who seem to understand what they are playing
and work very very hard to perfect their skills, suddenly Indian music is being
liberated from their traditional limitations and scaling new heights.
There are several palpable facets
to this new, invigorating upheaval in the Indian musical entertainment, being
brought about by our youngsters through their ventures with exotic names like
Music Mojo, Kappa TV, Acoustika, Music Bowl
Rosebowl and bands like Staccato, Bennet’s Band etc.
First and foremost is the
liberation of the musical soul of the artist itself. A talented musician can
now experience that joy of his own god given talent, which was confined to the
bathroom and extremely private moments, in much more accepting, forgiving and
friendly environment.
From the nerve wracking and
competitive performances in schools and colleges, through the highly
pressurized competitions on TV and similar platforms to the demanding recording rooms of established
directors, the journey of a musician, in his quest for getting recognition and
fame is indeed gruelling.
For many, time and opportunity to
musically express himself or herself, without the demand of external
factors and find that tranquillity and
elation only music can give to its producer is indeed scarce.
All that has changed for some of India’s young artists. A combination
of affluence allowing acquisition of expensive western instruments, education
and training to understand their capabilities and use them combined with talent
and hard work are opening new horizons for today’s young artists.
Sophisticated recording studios
with acoustic perfection have sprung up in many cities, opening up new venues
and changing the game of producing music and performing altogether. Technology and
electronics have pushed the limits of producing music to new realms of creativity.
All of these have been long since available
to their counterparts in the developed world. In addition, they had enjoyed an
ecosystem of a thriving music industry with its studios and production
facilities which rewarded talent handsomely
which is not the case India’s young artists.
What they have is a lot of
enthusiasm and the abundance of a rich tradition of classical music which has
evolved through millennia to experiment with their new found instruments and devices producing unheard strains of, string,
wind and percussion music.
Sophisticated recording and video
facilities have brought new dimensions to the Indian young talent are now able to
experiment with.
For example, they are able to
create exotic ambience in addition to the unseen acoustic perfection to the environment
they perform. Powerful cameras can now soak up, in addition to the ambience, a
performer's facial expression, body language and gestures and the joy of producing
whatever music he or she is performing and etch all of that into the audible stream, creating an altogether new
kind of Indian music experience.
The performers are no more
limited by the horrible noisy and windy acoustic ambience of Indian halls and
theatres and makeshift stages all of which render their talent pretty useless
in generating sublime musical experience.
Our brave youngsters are doing
wonderfully well as can be heard and
seen from several videos now available on the social media. Some of their
creations are amazingly wonderful and take you to new ways and feelings while
enjoying their music because of the
close up shots, light effects and editing.
Many experiment with rich
creations of masters of the arts which have hugely enchanted a couple of
generations and render them in their own style and ways. These somehow give you
a way to compare the new experience and
marvel at the new quality and heights to which familiar music has been raised
by these youngsters.
A performer’s facial expression,
eyes and mood add to the meaning of the lyrics, the melody and strains of the
instruments so much so that it is sometimes difficult to discern if a singer's beauty
is enhanced by the piece he or she is performing or it is the other way around.
Either way, new generation Indian
performers are definitely taking Indian
music to new lofty heights.
