Konnakol
A technique, from the South Indian music tradition, to sing, count and compute complex mathematic rhythms.

You can understand any rhythm
from any country on the planet"

GUITAR Lessons
Improvisation and composition
is the same thing just experienced on two different timescales!
In these two videos I share my vision and my basic ideas about how I work with streching my rhythms, my scales and my harmonic ideas
GUITAR MUSIC
"The Shape of Sound"
This isn't just an ordinary guitar album
it's my testament to the boundless potential of guitar music,
drawn from more than four years of intensive research!
The 24 solo compositions represents much more than two hours of fervor-filled strumming. It is education. My future guitar lessons.
The true sound, the real essence of the 24 variations, vibrates resoundingly in my mind and it might take me many years to mirror that and master the music. What I mean is that these compositions are way over my level. And it would challenge any guitarist on this planet and hopefully surprise him/ her too.
Here's what Jennifer Batton has to say on experiencing the album
(renowned guitarist for Michael Jackson and Jeff Beck)
SUPER INSPIRING! "Killer stuff! -
He’s so adventurous and innovative. His music is just plain delicious to my ear. The wide intervallic stuff reminds me of Joe Diorio, he was such an huge influence to me. I bet he would have loved this music"
