Description

This composition explores the possibility of using the swarmandal, (more popularly known in the west as the zither), not in its usual incarnation as an accompaniment to vocal music, but enjoying centrestage as a solo instrument. This has been tried earlier, but the instrument has not achieved solo status in Indian music. Aneesh has also tried to use the single stringed Gopichang in an unconventional manner. The instrument is usually used as a percussive instrument, but he has tried to deviate by using it melodically. The range and the dynamics of the instrument place several restrictions on such usage, but sensitive studio microphones helped greatly in achieving this goal.
