The third album in the Layopasana series features seven instructional solos for mridangam, the ancient South Indian Classical Carnatic double-sided hand drum. Set against the meditative electronic tambura drone backdrop and the bright jalra finger cymbals that aurally enhance the time signatures, these creative solos highlight many of the essential techniques and patterns of the mridangam. Useful for students of all levels, the solos uniquely blend the major percussive styles of South India with the innovative artistry of Rohan Krishnamurthy.
