Workshop: Improvise like Clockwork

Expand your musical creativity
through improvisation techniques
of Indian Raga Music.

Sound and rhythm are universal. In Indian Raag Music, scales lay the foundation for improvisation. Immerse yourself in the playful art of improvisation techniques within the Raag tradition and discover new and complex approaches to tonal and rhythmic possibilities through intuitive expression.

You can bring along both “Indian” and “non-Indian” pieces of music to support your musical understanding. Participants are also welcome to bring their own melodic instruments for the practical part.

Practical exercises are guided with Tanpura accompaniment. 
A musical ear and singing ability are advantageous.

To ensure a personal and intensive experience, the number of participants is limited. Please register in advance to participate.

The accompaniment of the Tanpura gives my offerings a unique and distinctive character. Its enchanting vibrations are both my musical guide and the core sonic foundation woven into each of my offers. The natural harmonic series (pure intervals) unfolds from its mysterious ocean of overtone-rich vibrations – a silent awakening from the depths of sound. Through regular meditative merging with its multidimensional sound spectrum, the `inner ear´ can open up to the perception of the omnipresent sound of anahat Nāda.

Inspired by the creative improvisational mastery of my Gurus, I draw from the rich spectrum of improvisational techniques from Indian Raag Music to create individual designs for syllable singing. Each musical presentation unfolds melodically and intuitively, tailored to the participants, the hour, and the spirit of the moment.
