Welcome to my musical world of seven notes or sapta svaras!

The left side of the equation are the seven svaras or musical notes in the Indian Classical Music Tradition equivalent to the notes in Western Classical Music Tradition shown on the right side of the equation.
 
As you may already know, my appettite for music composition is increasing with every musical breath = svara I take! This is a new addition to my music composition websites. Expect many more music composition websites from me in the future.
 
All my music compositions are FREE to listen. I will also be glad to do custom compositions for you or your loved ones. Yes, it is FREE.
 
Here are my current music composition websites:

What NEXT?
 
  1. I will be using other numbers like Square Root of 2, Log 2 etc. You may suggest any similar numbers.
  2. I have already composed music from "junk mail". Next time you get any junk email, you can convert the "trash" to delightful music. You can choose any raaga or a musical genre, so that the "trash" can be heard in many musical flavors. This is "Green" technology and eco-friendly music to your ears.
  3. Do you have an account balance sheet, profit and loss statement or cash flow statement? Does these financial proforma give you a heart ache because they tell you that you are loosing money? I can covert it into music. I can make it into a melancholic music or an upbeat and joyous music.
  4. Give me any random pattern or stratngely repeating pattern from nature or human made patterns, I can give you, in return, music that you can enjoy. Should I call my technique as "recycling into music"?
  5. Any pattern from outer space, our earth or any trash produced by humans can be divine music.

Here are my music compositions:
 
I have taken 400 digits of mathematical rarity PI after the decimal point and mapped them into the svaras of Karnaatak (Sounth Indian) Music raagas and composed music.
 
I hope you enjoy it.
 
Eternal Showers PI Magic  (Please note that I have repeated the sequence of the 400 digits of the PI after its decimal point, so that you can hear the music second time around in different timbre of musical instrument combinations. Please note that I have composed this music to start slow and pick up its speed. You will notice when the music repeats again starting at a slow speed and pick up its speed with different musical instruments / timbre. The raaga is "amrita varshiNi" which means "immortal showers or eternal showers, to signify the unending digits of PI)
 
Durga Pi Magic (This is played only once in raaga: Durga)

Hindola Pi Magic (This is played only once in raaga: HindoLa)
 
Rythmic Nature of Pi (I have created a rhythmic version of Pi)
Why did I choose PI?
 
You may listen to the same digits in different musical instruments / timbre in regular and slow paces in the following compositions:
 
  • PI is very familiar to most people who may have taken some basic mathemetics in school and college.
  • PI has been calculated to billions of digits already and found to be "normal" and no number pattern repeats! http://www.lbl.gov/Science-Articles/Archive/pi-random.html
  • Potentially any alaapana based on PI can go for many centuries with no repeatition! No human being, nor even the great mythological musical gods, godesses and characters like Krishna, Naarada, Tumbura, Sarasvati and apsaras, can match the evergoing alaapana ability of the "divine" PI.
  • PI is the property manifestation of the unique geometric figures circle and sphere. Who knows the geometric eternity of their extentions in fourth and higher dimenions?
  • Music is based on pattern and repeating patterns and my endeavor to exploit PI for music composition is an antithematic paradigm shift.
