ENS3MBLE is a unique Carnatic experience, bringing together existing sounds but in a dynamic new interpretation. This effort is an experiment to explore the idea of what the voice means, and find new dimensions in understanding the role of the voice while reinventing its interaction with the sounds of the instruments.
The voice, while being versatile and dynamic, usually plays the lead role in a traditional ensemble. But if we explore the myriad roles that the voice can play and offer new perspectives, does that change the experience altogether? In this production, apart from playing the lead, the voice is used as a layer on which creation happens, as a complement to the instruments, as a modulation between textures, as just another element in a larger canvas of musical conversation, as a bridge between aesthetics, and as a catalyst of ideas.
Exploring this complex and nuanced vision of the voice is the core idea behind this innovative concert.
Here we are presenting the first song
01 Colossus
Starting with short explorations of melodic contours, the voices come together to celebrate the infinite beauty of this magnum opus composition that sings the praise of Kamakshi of Kanchi. Emanating from the depths and soaring to the highs, a true portrait of the raga in all its glory. Presenting the Bhairavi Svarajati, a composition of Shyama Sastri, set to Mishra Chapu Tala
