Raganana - Annette Kruisbrink

Eric Lammers, guitar Raganana (2016) (dedicated to Nandini Sudhir) This composition is inspired by Indian classical music. The tempo progression is like in a raga: 1. Vilambit laya (slow tempo). The continuous bass line represents a tanpura (a drone instrument with usually 4 strings) tuned in AddD. 2. Madhya laya (medium tempo), where the strings are plucked like the chikari strings of a sitar. 3. Drut laya (fast tempo), the way of playing is reminiscent of playing with a mizrab (plectrum). The composition ends as quietly as it began. Recording, editing and mastering by Thomas Garnbeck
