Book excerpt: What happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force? It happens when Dante meets Raga. ''Raga'' is an exquisite and passionate experience, remains an unspoken mystery and an unsolvable enigma, an esoteric tale that takes a lifetime to unravel. It is a Historical Romance Fiction, a haunting tale of a man against himself and a powerful woman against the world, the tale of how love blooms in the fires of war. It is a work of fiction and romance, on the journey of a General''s battle against his King. Dante is thrust on a path, leading him to the King''s daughter, the love he had left behind before a decade. But it takes a lot more than just morality and valor for them to kill the men they loved in a battle just to restore something as fragile as peace and justice. It was not his war; it was his penance. And yet, after it all, the greatest of the wars is within hearts and the best stories end in a quiet journey home. Excerpts from the book: Dialogues: "I will miss you in the quietest way possible" "I think I will remember you when it is dawn, and when it is dusk. And whenever I see the stars in the sky". "Me? When I look at the lilac skies, endless waters and the stars, I just see how infinitesimally small we are" "It is the time to break all promises in the world" "I forgive the world because you exist." "For the sins, we do in the name of love." Passages: "It was just love." He whispered, shaking his head. "Yes." she said. "It is not like I can''t live without you", he said with a sad smile. "Yes." Raga turned to him, nodding slowly. "But do I have to?", Dante asked in a small voice, as he turned away. He gave a brief laugh. Raga gave a soft smile as she nodded and swept the hair that fell on her face. It was a long time ago when they shared silence over fresh morning coffee. "Is this a good ending?" Raga looked at him sadly. "It is a very sad ending when you don''t want someone to leave" "Sagar." Dante breathed. "He will be a lot of peace. Not fire". "Would you have rather it was someone else?" She had meant the entirety of the story, every moment of the agony. "No. I wouldn''t wish it upon anyone but me," Dante smiled. Prologue: "When time wrote the forgotten tale of a General''s war against his King, for a fragile balance between what he saw as good and evil; destroying him to the edges of his frayed soul, it wept. When time painted a tale for every imaginable pain in the world, it yearned to paint him. As it spiraled down Dante''s Inferno, Paradisio and Purgatorio, it couldn''t even grasp the canvas anymore. When it couldn''t, a woman could. When she did, it was nothing more than a faded reverie of words, memories and an aftertaste of gory". From the Author: I wanted my life to be a painting of watercolours. The softness, the paleness, it felt exactly like love and warmth. Like a hug. Later, I had accepted that even soft pastel painting was okay with its exquisite shades. But life was Acrylic, and oil painting. Heavy and dark. In between all of this, ''Raga'' somehow happened. We must have read thousands of books in our lives. I remember half my life reading cheap books from thrift books, cheap novels from the roadsides, cheap books on kindle and then the bestsellers, the bestselling books on kindle and the list goes endless. Through this, I saw that none really stayed in me. I wanted to write the one novel that would live with every soul who reads it. I spill my soul, word by word. Years later, I realize that whatever you write, there will always be a million other books that would mean more, and that doesn''t mean you have failed. And without fear, for the first time in my life, I open up to the world through ''Raga''.

Download or read book Finding the Raga written by Amit Chaudhuri and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the James Tait Black Prize for Biography An autobiographical exploration of the role and meaning of music in our world by one of India's greatest living authors, himself a vocalist and performer. Amit Chaudhuri, novelist, critic, and essayist, is also a musician, trained in the Indian classical vocal tradition but equally fluent as a guitarist and singer in the American folk music style, who has recorded his experimental compositions extensively and performed around the world. A turning point in his life took place when, as a lonely teenager living in a high-rise in Bombay, far from his family’s native Calcutta, he began, contrary to all his prior inclinations, to study Indian classical music. Finding the Raga chronicles that transformation and how it has continued to affect and transform not only how Chaudhuri listens to and makes music but how he listens to and thinks about the world at large. Offering a highly personal introduction to Indian music, the book is also a meditation on the differences between Indian and Western music and art-making as well as the ways they converge in a modernism that Chaudhuri reframes not as a twentieth-century Western art movement but as a fundamental mode of aesthetic response, at once immemorial and extraterritorial. Finding the Raga combines memoir, practical and cultural criticism, and philosophical reflection with the same individuality and flair that Chaudhuri demonstrates throughout a uniquely wide-ranging, challenging, and enthralling body of work.

Download or read book Dance Music and Cultures of Decolonisation in the Indian Diaspora written by Tina K Ramnarine and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dance, Music and Cultures of Decolonisation in the Indian Diaspora provides fascinating examples of dance and music projects across the Indian Diaspora to highlight that decolonisation is a creative process, as well as a historical and political one. The book analyses creative processes in decolonising projects, illustrating how dance and music across the Indian Diaspora articulate socio-political aspirations in the wake of thinkers such as Gandhi and Ambedkar. It presents a wide range of examples: post-apartheid practices and experiences in a South African dance company, contestations over national identity politics in Trinidadian music competitions, essentialist and assimilationist strategies in a British dance competition, the new musical creativity of second-generation British-Tamil performers, Indian classical dance projects of reform and British multiculturalism, feminist intercultural performances in Australia, and performance re-enactments of museum exhibits that critically examine the past. Key topics under discussion include postcolonial contestations, decolonising scholarship, dialogic pedagogies and intellectual responsibility. The book critically reflects on decolonising aims around respect, equality and the colonial past’s redress as expressed through performing arts projects. Presenting richly detailed case studies that underline the need to examine creative processes in the cultures of decolonisation, Dance, Music and Cultures of Decolonisation in the Indian Diaspora will be of great interest to scholars of South Asian Studies, Diaspora Studies, Performing Arts Studies and Anthropology. The chapters were originally published as a special issue of South Asian Diaspora.

Download or read book Making Musical Time written by Guerino Mazzola and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive examination of the conception, perception, performance, and composition of time in music across time and culture. It surveys the literature of time in mathematics, philosophy, psychology, music theory, and somatic studies (medicine and disability studies) and looks ahead through original research in performance, composition, psychology, and education. It is the first monograph solely devoted to the theory of construction of musical time since Kramer in 1988, with new insights, mathematical precision, and an expansive global and historical context. The mathematical methods applied for the construction of musical time are totally new. They relate to category theory (projective limits) and the mathematical theory of gestures. These methods and results extend the music theory of time but also apply to the applied performative understanding of making music. In addition, it is the very first approach to a constructive theory of time, deduced from the recent theory of musical gestures and their categories. Making Musical Time is intended for a wide audience of scholars with interest in music. These include mathematicians, music theorists, (ethno)musicologists, music psychologists / educators / therapists, music performers, philosophers of music, audiologists, and acousticians.
