2024 was a defining year for Saregama, one of India's oldest music labels. This is a company that has been around for well over a century. For a long time now, it has been associated with the kind of music your parents and grandparents grew up listening to – the classics, evergreen Bollywood numbers, Ghazals, Carnatic music…you get the drift.  But this year, something changed. Saregama made it clear that it was done banking on old melodies alone. It has been on a mission to make fresh hits. And that mission has largely been successful thanks to Youtube. But there is a flip side to this strategy. In the Youtube-Saregama relationship, the former holds all the power. Tune in. Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

Lakshmi Ramgopal is a musician and dancer who performs under the name Lykanthea. Her electro-mythic debut EP, Migration, received much-deserved praise from such outlets as The Chicago Tribune, Noisey, and Public Radio International's The World (and listeners will recognize its track “Hand and Eye” as The Witch Wave theme song). She's collaborated with Savage Sister on their sundrowned EP, and she's been creating and performing music via sound installations and performances for spaces such as The Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art and Chicago's Lincoln Park Conservatory. Her new project, Some Viscera, marks a shift in instrumentation, drawing more heavily on her training in South Indian classical (or Carnatic) music, as well as organic sounds from analog instruments, bird song, and lullabies. It touches on atavistic questions of motherhood and personal legacy. When performed live it is an evening-length work of sound and movement that explores childhood, nostalgia, and kinship in the Indian-American diaspora in the wake of India's independence, while questioning the boundaries of classical forms. Embracing the warmth of the sruti box, unprocessed vocals, and strings, Ramgopal's ensemble draws on a wide range of influences to create a work that is as expansive as it is intimate. Some Viscera premiered at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago on September 26-27, 2024, and the music of Some Viscera is now available in a standalone album.In addition to that, performing both solo and with her ensemble, Lakshmi has done site-specific, immersive shows in spaces like Chicago's Edgar Miller's Glasner Studio and Garfield Park Conservatory, and in the middle of a freshwater stream. In 2018 she showed A Half-Light Chorus, which a sound installation commissioned by Experimental Sound Studio, and In 2020 she and visual artist Nancy Davidson showed a site-specific sculpture and sound installation, at Krannert Art Museum. The museum acquired it in 2023. Lakshmi received her PhD in Classics from the University of Chicago, and she is currently Assistant Professor of History at Columbia University, with a focus on the Roman Empire. On this episode, Lakshmi discusses her sonic shift from electronic to analog, music as ancestral offering, and the reincarnating power of love.Pam also talks about the secret magic of lullabies, and responds to a listener's comment about reconciling witchcraft with one's religious upbringing.Songs featured in the episode are all from Lykanthea's new album, Some Viscera:“Bird Song”“Garuda”“The Nightingale”“Cremation”Our sponsors for this episode are Ritual + Shelter, TU·ET·AL, UBU Skills, BetterHelp, Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, Grimsby Hollow Meadery, and Open Sea Design Co.We also have print-on-demand merch like Witch Wave shirts, sweatshirts, totes, stickers, and mugs available now here, and all sorts of other bewitching goodies available in the Witch Wave shop.And if you want more Witch Wave, please consider supporting us on Patreon to get access to detailed show notes, bonus Witch Wave Plus episodes, Pam's monthly online rituals, and more!

A Violinist Gets Back His Life and Music Pudukkottai Ambika Prasad is an accomplished Carnatic violinist who has performed in several sabhas over decades. Hailing from a family of Hari Katha tradition, devotion was natural to him. He had his first opportunity of performing in Prasanthi Nilayam in 2006 along with Dr O S Arun. After this, he never came to Puttaparthi until Nov 17, 2024, when he was again blessed with the opportunity to offer his music to Bhagawan. But this time, he prayed and pined for it. He had decided he would never touch the violin again after his surgery in Swami's hospital in June 2024 unless Swami gave him the chance to play for Him. And that indeed happened, quite miraculously. In this Satsang, he narrates the series of miracles he witnessed in his life in the recent past, which not only gave him a rebirth but also gifted his music back to him through thrilling instances of His mercy and grace.

In one of the talks today, there were some esteemed musicians. One of them was a world-famous Carnatic musician. What we heard from his accolades, when he was introduced today was that he was an expert at an early age. If anybody wants to guess how early that was, it was 2 years old, and he just went upwards from there. In any case, he was talking about the way in which one may become proficient in music. There's a similar culture in learning music in classical Indian music, Carnatic music in particular, which has to do with getting tutelage from a guru, a musical Guru, and following a particular sampradaya. Because there's always variety in everything, one of the statements that he made stuck with me. He said, did this famous teacher, “Learn from one source for a long time”. He said, “Learn from one source for a long time,” where he said you may have a confusion in your mind. It becomes like a traffic jam of many different styles in music. So, this is something Krishna recommends… (excerpt from the talk ) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For more videos please visit www.fanthespark.com

This lecture explores the very limits of music: investigating historical efforts to catalogue musical materials including the melacarta of Carnatic music, the wazn of Arabic maqam, Slonimsky's Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns, Schillinger's Encyclopedia of Rhythms, Forte numbers, and contemporary attempts to ‘pre-copyright' every possible melody yet to be written.It also tackles the bigger questions: how much music might exist, whether it ever will be exhausted, and if there are any boundaries of our musical perception and imagination.This lecture was recorded by Milton Mermikides on 16th May 2024 at LSO St Luke's Church, LondonThe transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website:https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/music-infiniteGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

St. Paul actor, vocalist and community organizer T. Mychael Rambo wants everyone to know about “The Sounds of Gospel” presented by 2nd Chance Outreach this weekend at the Cowles Center in Minneapolis.  The two-hour show highlights the range and evolution of gospel music, from spirituals to psalms to contemporary songs. Rambo says to expect an evening of music that will have you clapping your hands, stomping your feet and raising up a shout for more.The performances are Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. Padma Wudali of Minneapolis describes herself as an amateur musician who plays the veena, a South Indian Carnatic classical instrument similar to a lute. She is excited to see local musician Shruthi Rajasekar take to the Ordway stage this Sunday. Presented by the Shubert Club Mix, Rajasekar's show is entitled “Parivaar — a Celebration of Community as Family.” (“Parivaar” is Hindi for “family.”)Rajasekar's music combines both Carnatic and Western classical traditions. Wudali loves her approach to this performance: in addition to presenting her own original, commissioned work, Rajasekar has invited other South Asian Twin Cities artists working in theater, music and visual arts to take part in the performance, thus celebrating the local creative community. The performance will include a new work by Rajasekar commissioned for the event and film, dance and writing by other Twin Cities performers.  Schubert Club Mix is a regular event designed to make classical music feel less formal and more approachable to audiences. The performance is Sunday, Feb. 18 at 3 p.m. at the Ordway in St. Paul. Children and students can attend for free. Shruthi Rajasekar video Musician Leslie Vincent of White Bear Lake saw the one-person play “Honey, I'm Home” twice during its first run, and she's excited that the show is back for a new run at Open Eye Theatre in Minneapolis.In “Honey I'm Home,” the main character is a brick house who wants to be a home to a new family. From there, writer and actor Madeleine Rowe goes on to play other characters as well.It's a show that combines comic clowning and poignant, heartfelt observations about the metaphorical houses we inhabit. Vincent recalls the two performances she saw last time felt “so different, because both audiences were so different, and the performer Madeline Rowe is incredibly adept at reacting to an audience.”The show opens tonight and runs through Feb 24.

Around The World In 80 Days by Jules Gabriel Verne词汇提示1.Atlantic 大西洋2.ravines 深谷3.whistle 汽笛原文Chapter 6: When our friends risk their lives25 NovemberThey were now sailing across the Pacific on the Carnatic in the direction of San Francisco.On the journey, Passepartout started to remember more details about his evening with Mr. Fix and he began to ask questions.Why did the man try and keep him in the bar for so long? Why was he doing the exact same journey as them?It wasn't an unusual route, but why did he also want to do it so quickly? Was he following them?'I'm going for a walk. I believe Mrs. Aouda will join me. I'll see you in the morning at seven-fifteen,' said Phileas Fogg,interrupting his manservant's thoughts.His master certainly did not look worried and Passepartout decided that he had to think about just one thing: his master had to win his bet.In the next few days, it became clear that Mrs. Aouda was very close to Phileas Fogg. He, on the other hand, did not seem to notice the beautiful lady by his side.Tuesday- 2 hours ahead. Wednesday - 3 hours behind. Thursday - arrived in San Francisco on time.The same evening, at exactly six o'clock, our adventurers left San Francisco to travel to New York.The journey that once took six months to complete, now took seven days on the new Union Pacific Railroad that took the passengers from San Francisco in the west,to Omaha in the central state of Nebraska.From there Phileas Fogg hoped to continue to New York for the final part of their journey: crossing the Atlantic to England on 11 December.On the train, Passepartout sat next to Inspector Fix, but he did not want to talk to him.He was still confused by his behavior in the bar and he did not like him.After just one hour, it started to snow.Fortunately,the snow did not slow down the train.However,about nine o'clock the next morning, the train stopped.To their amazement it was not because of the snow but because hundreds of buffalos we crossing the tracks in front of the train.Passepartout became very impatient.'I can't believe this!' he shouted. 'This country has a modern railway and the train must stop for a group of animals!'The train driver told them he had no choice. The buffalos were not moving and they could damage the engine.They had to wait until the buffalos moved across the tracks – three hours later!As they went through the mountains in Wyoming, Phileas Fogg taught Mrs. Aouda howto play cards.Mrs. Aouda was a very patient learner, and they were soon so occupied with their games that they did not even seem to notice the deep ravines below them.Passepartout was looking out of the window, thinking about the bet, when he almost hit the seating front of him.The train stopped suddenly and gave several loud whistles.He got up to see what the problem was.He saw the driver talking to a man from the next station, a place called Medicine Bow.'The station guard sent me to tell you that you can't go any further," he said."The bridge across the ravine is not safe and it can't take the weight of the train. We have sent a telegram to Omaha, but it will be six hours before another train arrives.''We can't stay here all night. We'll die of cold in this snow!' shouted one of the passengers, hearing their conversation.'Yes,but it will take six hours to go on foot to the next station.' said the train driver's assistant.'I think I have an idea', said the train driver. 'We can get our train across the bridge, if we go fast enough.'Passepartout was interested to hear more.'If the train moves at its top speed, the train won't be as heavy on the bridge',he continued. 'And we can get across before the bridge breaks.'Passepartout was worried for himself and the other passengers.The bridge could break before the train reached the other side!He could not understand why the other passengers seemed to think this was a good idea.'Isn't there a simpler solution, perhaps...?' he began to ask the driver.The driver was not listening.'No,no, this is the best solution we have,' he said."Yes,but maybe not the safest...'Passepartout tried to explain that he had another idea.'Maybe the passengers can go across the bridge on foot.Then the train could follow after wards,' he said to the train driver's assistant'No,the driver is right. If we go at top speed, we can get across the bridge. The train's leaving!' cried his assistant.The train driver blew the whistle and the train went back along the tracks about two kilometers.Then he blew the whistle again.The train moved faster and faster as it came closer to the bridge.In what seemed like minutes, or maybe it was only a few seconds, they were over on the other side, just in time to see the bridge fall into the deep ravine behind them.

The repairs are complete and the ship is going to leave tonight.''Oh,I understand, but let me walk with you on the way to your hotel,' said Inspector Fix.Suddenly Fix had an idea.'Maybe I can stop Passepartout from telling Phileas Fogg about the ship, and then the ship will leave without him!' he thought to himself.'It's still early,' Inspector Fix began. 'Why don't we have a drink, Monsieur Passepartout? I know a nice place near the hotel. I'm sure we can stop for a drink. It's difficult to find a good friend to talk to after such a long journey away from home. ''Well,just one drink... 'said Passepartout, who was enjoying his conversation with Inspector Fix.When they were inside the bar the detective's plan was complete.He ordered the drinks and asked the barman to make a very strong drink for Passepartout.Less than an hour later, Passepartout was drunk and fell asleep at the table.'Ah! Phileas Fogg will never know about the ship now,' he said to himself. 'And, now Mr. Fogg, I just need to wait until I have the warrant for your arrest, and it won't be long now, you can be certain of that!'The next day, when Phileas Fogg woke up, he was a little surprised to see that Passepartout was not there.He packed the suitcases himself and paid the hotel bill.Then he went straight to the port with Mrs. Aouda.But Passepartout was not there.'How strange!' thought Phileas Fogg, but he showed no surprise to find that the Carnatic was not at the port.In fact, he did not seem worried about the departure of the ship or his manservant.Instead he went to speak to the captains of the different boats in the port.Inspector Fix, who was waiting for Phileas Fogg, followed behind.What was Phileas Fogg's new plan?Fix saw him pay the captain of a small ship, who agreed to leave immediately.'Oh no!' thought Inspector Fix.' He always thinks of something. That thief! He can't escape! Not now.'Fix was very angry and upset.He walked up and down near the ship, until Phileas Fogg noticed the poor man.'Are you looking for a ship, too, my good man?' he asked. 'We're going to Japan. If that's the direction you're going in, you're welcome to come with us!'Thank you, sir. That's very kind of you. My ship left early and I am in a terrible situation, in fact, I was just thinking about how I could find another ship to take me to Yokohama,' replied Inspector Fix.He was amazed at his good luck but he was worried that things were not going exactly as he planned.He was determined to catch his thief.'I'll have to follow Fogg around the world if that's the only way I can catch him,'he thought.But where was our friend Passepartout?Passepartout woke up in the bar a few hours later.His head hurt and he could not remember anything, except that he came into a bar with someone he met and that he talked to a man about... the ship! The Carnatic was leaving that evening.He looked at his watch.'Oh no!' he thought. 'I'm late. Mr. Fogg will be at the port now.'He ran to the boat and got on.He looked everywhere for Mr. Fogg and Mrs. Aouda, but he could not see them.It was then that he started to remember his afternoon with the man he met at the port.'But of course,' he thought. 'Mr. Fogg doesn't know. How could he? I was still in that bar with Mr. Fix, and then l... 'It was too late. The ship was already sailing towards Yokohama.He felt very bad. This was terrible.His master was losing his bet because of him.And he did not have a penny in his pocket!When he arrived in Yokohama, he walked around the streets, trying to decide what to do.Soon he felt hungry and he decided to sell his elegant European jacket and buy an old Japanese one, but the money was not enough.He needed money to eat and to sleep, and, above all, to return home.Just when he thought the situation was hopeless, he saw an advertisement for a circus.Don't miss Batulcar's Circus. The last show before the circus moves to America.Acrobats, clowns, lions, tigers and much more!'What luck!' thought Passepartout. 'I'll go to the circus owner. If he lets me go with them, I can go to America, and from there to England.''So,you say you're from Paris?' said Mr. Batulcar, a big man with a bald head and a moustache.He looked at Passepartout carefully.'Yes,a true Parisian, from Paris,' replied Passepartout.'Well,you know how to make funny faces then,' said Mr. Batulcar smiling from the corners of his moustache.Passepartout did not understand what he meant. 'Err... yes,' he said uncertainly.'Good!Then you can start as a clown,' said Mr. Batulcar, 'and then you can do other jobs if we need an extra man. You can look after the tigers, for example.'Passepartout was not very happy about this offer, but he needed the job.That night an acrobat was ill, and Passepartout had to take his place as part of a human pyramid.Passepartout was at the bottom of the pyramid and he had to carry the weight of several men on his shoulders.The audience shouted out loudly, the drums sounded like a thunderstorm, and then...the people in the pyramid fell to the floor like a pack of cards.What happened?Passepartou twas running towards someone in the audience, someone he was very happy to see.It was his old employer, Phileas Fogg. But how did he get there?When Fogg and Mrs. Aouda arrived in Yokohama a week later, they spoke to the captain of the Carnatic and found Passepartout's name among the list of passengers, but his ticket only took him to Yokohama.Phileas Fogg and Mrs. Aouda wanted to find Passepartout before the ship left for its next destination - San Francisco.Inspector Fix, on the other hand, had no choice.He went with them and became their 'friend'.They looked all over the city but they could not find him anywhere.'We haven't much time left in the city. Let's go and see the circus. I believe it'svery good,' he told the others.Mr.Fix and Mrs. Aouda agreed.Phileas Fogg did not see his manservant among the acrobats, but his manservant certainly saw him, and he left everyone else in the human pyramid in a big group of arms and legs on the floor.They had no time to say sorry to a very angry Mr. Batulcar.The Carnatic was leaving for America.
