Description

PANDIT PRAN NATH INDIA'S MASTER VOCALIST RAGAS YAMAN KALYAN PUNJABI BERVA SHANDAR SR 10007 LP1972 Pandit Pran Nath, voice; Fayyaz Khan, tabla; Shyam Bhatnagar, La Monte Young, tamburas. "Pandit Pran Nath, whose name means 'master of breath,' plays a Stradivarius of voices; it is sometimes difficult to believe he is "merely" singing. Rich, resonant, vibratoless tones seem to emerge from his head, his chest, his fingers, as he sits and sways slightly from side to side, describing in the air with fluid hand and arm movements the musical shapes he is sculpting from the drone of his accompanying tambouras. To put it another way, he doesn't 'hit' notes, he materializes them. He gives the impression that he is working with solids rather than the most evanescent of mediums." Robert Palmer, THE REAL PAPER, Boston Pandit Pran Nath has had a profound impact on Western contemporary composers and performers ---Minimalist music founders La Monte Young and Terry Riley, and the calligraphic light artist Marian Zazeela became his first American disciples. Also the likes of Jon Hassell, Don Cherry, composers Jon Gibson, Yoshi Wada and Rhys Chatham, new-age pianists Michael Harrison and Allaudin Mathieu, mathematician Christer Hennix, and concept artist Henry Flynt.
