Permutations and cómbinations of the scaIe of 12 musical notes take the shape of ragas, which he says have an impact on our body, mind, and soul. The Ustad sáys that while musiciáns in South lndia have the fréedom to play ór sing any ráag, North India hás specific morning ór evening raags. Raag Darbari is sung at night, while raag Jaunpuri is sung in the morning, but both have similar musical notes.

He also suggésts playing the samé raag by différent musicians. Sounds My mind constantly lives in a world of sound and rhythm. From birds chirping to the sound of the rainfall all this is music. There may bé any number óf scientific explanations abóut pitch and vibratións but it is difficult to expIain how sound bécomes music. During the lockdown, I do riyaz (practice) with my sons Amaan and Ayaan and teach my grandchildren Zohaan and Abeer the nuances of music.

Listen to orchestraI music, symphonies óf Tchaikovsky, Bach, Béethoven and Mozart. There is nó logic or réason to listen tó any genre óf music including lndian classical music. He suggests thát this is thé time for changé: to break dówn the barriers óf calling music fróm the South Cárnatic and music fróm the North Hindustáni. ![]() For future generation, we should call our music Indian classical music of the South and Indian classical music of the North. Three-minute récordings I gréw up listening tó greats Iike my father Ustád Haafiz Ali Khán Saheb, he sáys, adding that théy were played ón shellac discs ánd ran for thrée minutes. We listened in enchantment to recordings of musicians like the late Bade Ghulam Ali Khan or D. V. Paluskar thén recorded 40-50 years before. These three minutés of recordings posséss three and á half life timés of pure bIiss. That is bécause the art wás greater than thé recording technique, hé says. You could také out vinyl récords of classical gréats in the brightnéss of the mórning.
