Margazhi Raaga Premier

We had a special premier of the movie Margazhi Raaga at Bangalore on the 29th of December 2008 at Fun Cinemas, Sigma Mall (on Cunningham Road).

The movie was conceived by Jayendra and executed by my guru Sri TM Krishnaalong with Smt Bombay Jayashri.

The concept is unique and I am sure that over the years this concept is bound to revolutionize the presentation of Carnatic concerts - digital cinema weds carnatica!!!

The movie would be made available on Blue Ray soon.

The sheer clarity of image and sound is breathtaking...you can see the vibration of the violin strings, you can hear the most subtle nuances and feel every moment of the concert as though it is happening right in front of your eyes. No distractions - no messy acoustics, no talkative audience members with their rustling plastic covers, no car horns blaring...Nothing comes in between the rasika and the artist.

It would never be a substitute to a Carnatic Concert and is definitely not intended to be either...but it is undoubtedly the next step in the presentation of Carnatic Music on digital media.

The premier was covered by DNA and yours truly's picture made it too!!
