Double bass, cello
Very low percussions that bring Kapha to activity, stimulate him.
It is most adaptable with high-low sounds, but low-mids are more in its nature
Very solid rhythmic cadences.
Very solid pentatonic scale, with only five tones; always complete scale: in the raga wherever one stops it does not create harmonic or melodic suspension; it is very catchy, it is the oldest scale, widely used in oriental music.
Hansadhwani – very open, spacious staircase; round melodies and very soft sounds
Bilaval – after rhythm and melody and drum beats, which stimulate, there is a very meditative part with three very wide notes and an impregnable rhythm, in which you can get lost, enough to fall asleep
Idea eight – Bhupali elephant walk pentatonic scale. Central part played with three notes, only; 1 2 3 degrees of the scale that recalls the first 3 rooting chakras, the area of the body from which the energy starts. For Kapha he goes to move. very warm and deep sounds. Drums. Pizzicato double bass gives rhythmic cadence.ica.
Sounds like oil, calm water surface, with surface tension, sounds in peaceful and slow motion, with precision, structure, confidence, but slow and full of strength movement like a river.
THE TRACKS ARE MP3 FILES (NO CD will arrive)
[: en] The whole record has round sounds. Music is not just a matter of melodies and chords, it is a matter of sounds. Some sounds are so rich that even with a single note you can hear the sound for hours and hours.
Shantam has made careful sound research, even in the studio, on frequencies. There are some waves that need to be stimulated and not others. A single sound can completely shift a person's energy. In the sound there is the soul of the player. The same instrument played by two people produces completely different sounds, or even by the same person at different times.
The selection among the ragas is made by Paolo Avanzo. He has chosen three Ragas for each Dosha.
The research on the ragas is complex because traditionally musical information was secret, only now is there beginning to be opening and disclosure of this precious knowledgeze
Over time one begins to recognize what leads to one Dosha or another
The same Raga in two different contexts, or due to a different mood of the musician, changes
Shantam tried to create sounds that accompany people in a relaxed state:
round, non-scratchy sounds; the sound waves are specially chosen and modeled to give softness, to permeate, enter people.
Like a very deep, albeit slow, massage
Intonation of instruments:
the LA in France in the nineteenth century is used at 435 Hz; in the nineteenth century there was a proposal from Rome to bring it to 450 hertz. Verdi proposed 432 hertz as the ideal pitch, because at 432 Hz pacifying, natural mathematical harmonics develop; but instead it was established as a general convention to use 440Hz.
Playing the same piece with the two intonations you feel that the 432 hertz is warmer, more intimate, more natural, more enveloping.
In previous years Shantam heard something out of tune, strident in the intonation at 440 hertz, while with 432 hertz this feeling disappears; therefore the discs are recorded at 432 hertz so the listener will perceive even more balanced music
Raga times / Dosha times
The intervals of the ragas: every three hours
Dosha intervals: every four hours
There are overlaps
So it is very complex and not easy to read in this key
Music V images of space and air
Music P images of fire and movement
