about

ARTISTS

Rohan Krishnamurthy, mridangam
Sujatha Krishnamurthy, jalra cymbals


Recorded in a single take, the solo is an original composition specially set in the traditional Carnatic rhythmic framework of 2 kalai Adi Tala, a rhythmic beat cycle with 16 repeating units.

The piece features a wide variety of rhythmic intricacies, including advanced elaborations in subdivisions of 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9, as well as the stunning tonal capabilities of the mridangam. The blend of the rich percussive styles of a host of Indian drums like the tabla, tavil, and khanjira, as well as the techniques of legendary Indian percussionists, creates a refreshing and inimitable style on the mridangam.
