| Nadaka |  |
In Sanskrit, Nada is the origin of sound and Ka is the one who carries it within. Nadaka was born in Quebec, and learned to play the guitar at an early age. At 16, his quest for life's deeper sense led him on a pilgrimage along that wondrous road which infallibly brought him to India, which he immediately adopted as his country. Dedicated to the ideals of India's great revolutionary yogi, Sri Aurobindo, he has been living in the international settlement of Auroville, in South India, since 1974. His love of Indian culture and passion for Indian music led him to study a number of traditional music styles, both on Indian stringed instruments and vocally.
He has designed and built an acoustic guitar with scalloped neck and moveable frets which is especially adapted for the subtle tones of Indian music. Skillfully blending the modal techniques of Ragas with chords and harmonies more akin to Western music, he has developed his own musical language. Working in close collaboration with many famous and outstanding Indian musicians, Nadaka has played an active part in the contemporary movement of Indian music. |

| Whatever she sings, Joy Chowdhury sings from 'within': the sacred words are an outwelling of an inner poise and experience, permeating all with a sense of otherness, taking us beyond meaning into regions of primal sound and essence. In this sense this CD is a wonderful evocation of Mantra as explained by Sri Aurobindo. "Its characteristics are a language that conveys infinitely more than the mere surface sense words seem to indicate, a rhythm that means even more than the language and is born... |

Straight to your Heart |
$5.56 |
|
| With his modified guitar Nadaka comes very close to the sound of a veena while conserving the technique of the guitar. But the quality of this album is not limited to the discovery of this new instrument. The music by Nadaka and Ganesh (violin) plays joyfully on contrasts and subtleties. Moments of calm are followed by complex rhythmic patterns skillfully played by the two percussionists Vikku (ghatam) and Selvaganesh (kanjira). It's all 100% acoustic. You feel the strings rubbing and the skins... |

Celebration |
$5.56 |
|
| Nadaka's "Celebration", draws upon a large spectrum of instruments and musical traditions. This is music which knows where it's going... and it's enjoying the journey. In "Oceania" , the theme is introduced with solo acoustic guitar, and is then repeated throughout as a kind of template or foundation firstly for Ganesh's questing violin and then for a wonderful extended guitar solo by Nadaka, his first deep notes sliding high and expanding, evoking a sense of the Oceanic. Above, below, in... |
