And I'm not here to describe my experience with it because I'm not ready to.
However, the santoor is (I think), my all-time favourite instrument that is used in Indian classical music. I love it's flitting sound, it's rounded notes that reverberate from one string to another which captivate my senses... like ghungroos let loose from a string of payals, bouncing their way down to the floor playfully...
I really hope I find a word or two to describe the sound of a santoor. Someday.
And Pandit Shivkumar Sharma is magical. There's this sense of divinity and peace when he plays.

This is what I'm presently hooked to. Do try and get yourself a listen... :) It's gorgeous!
And it rained :)
ReplyDeleteI think you did describe it really well:

That was for the sound of a santoor in not a word or two.
ReplyDeleteWhat I can't really describe is my experience with Indian Classical music yaar-uh!
