I have German and Altaic roots. My current location is Carmel mount, Holy Land.<br /><br />In Indian music <strong>Sa, Re, Ga </strong>and <strong>Ma</strong> are the first 4 notes of Saptak - an octave of seven notes. I guess I picked the nick <strong>SaReGaMa</strong> because I'm really fond of Indian classical music, which in my humble opinion is the most profound and sophisticated music in the world.<br /><br />You can learn a lot about a person by knowing his musical preferences. Well, I can listen almost to everything, except Pop, Rock and Trance ( funny I began with Electronic music making Trance). In Electronic music among the favorites are : <em><strong>Steve Roach, Alio Die, Mercan Dede, Jairamji, Nitin Sawhney, Prem Joshua, Ishq, FSOL, Union Jack, Thievery Corporation</strong> </em>etc.<br /><br /><br /><br /><p>I started making music as a hobby using Yamaha CS1, Cool Edit and FL Studio. I had also been playing flute in the Ethnic Rock band "Igra Rama" and done several solo performances for background music in happenings. I had a big passion for music but not enough means to afford musical instruments, so I learned how to build them. Most of the instruments I have are homemade. The instruments I play are : piano, guitar, different kinds of ethnic flutes, didgeridoo, percussions, kalimba and jews harp.</p><p> </p><p> My music can be defined as Organic-Electronic World Fusion. It can be great for background listening but at the same time it's very elaborated and deserves to be listened in a serious manner with full attention. I invest a lot in the sense of ambient 3D space - depth, distances, directions, motions and their dynamics. The tracks are loaded with little details, sounds and stereo effects. To experience them fully I advise to set your speakers as wide as possible (4 meters at least recommended) and sit in the middle in front of them, in equilateral triangle pattern. Headphones are <strong>not good</strong> for this kind of music. Although they provide additional details they fail to convey a sense of depth. </p><p>Some tracks contain up to 80 channels and comprise irregular beats of 1.5 - 2.5 - 3 - 5 - 6 - 7 etc. So listen carefully, try not to miss it.</p><br /><br /><br />Sarva Mangalam.<br /><br /><br /><p></p><p></p><br /><strong><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,255,51)"><br /></span></strong><strong><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,255,51)"></span></strong>SaReGaMahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11539231596854198365noreply@blogger.com
