Sanjay Subramaniam in NY


It has been a long time since i have attended a carnatic music concert. So, when i got an opportunity i did not want to miss it, thanks to my cousin Sowmya who got the tickets. The concert was hosted by the world music institute at Symphony space in upper west side. The artiste was carnatic vocalist Sanjay Subramaniam ably supported by Guruvayur Dorai in mridangam, Nagai Muralidharan in violin and Neyveli Venkatesh in kanjira.

Symphony space is a grand auditorium with a seating capacity of around 900 and when the concert began there was less than 200 people. With such a large South Indian community presence in NY/NJ, there was not enough attendance. There was a very brief introduction by the host about the artiste and their ensemble. I would have liked a more detailed introduction highlighting the achievements of the artistes. The crowd was a good mix of Indians and Americans and i could not quite noticing a trio of kannada mamis who were switching between American accent to local kannada quite easily.

Everyone settled down once the artistes have seated themselves and there is a downtime when everyone tunes their instruments. It is a good 5 min and it would have been a good time to introduce more about the artistes. Sanjay looked completely different from what i had imagined and read later on that he has changed his looks for the season. He looked more like a rock star with this long hair and a thick moustache than a carnatic musician.

He warmed up with Shankarabaranam and then moved on to Sahana ragam in detail. He was technically very strong and did not take any shortcuts. His best came in a composition in Thana Roopi ragam which kept the audience enthralled. The violinist was giving good support, although i felt (from my limited knowledge) he could not keep pace with Sanjay. Sanjay never eased up with any simple compositions, but kept on with quite challenging raagas. For me, one of the best part in a carnatic concert is the avarthanai when the percussionists are given a free hand to demonstrate their trade. The high level of skill of Dorai (senior artiste) came to the fore and Venkatesh was equal to the task on the khanjira and it was quite memorable for about 15 minutes. Sanjay finished off with a couple of light numbers and with a thillana at the end. There was a standing ovation from the audience at the end.

The best part about carnatic music i like is its non invasiveness and peace that it brings to oneself. I am still not able to identify the various raagas and it is proving difficult. For the same reason, i like bhajans more since you dont have to worry about the technicalities and just focus on the spirit. Bhajans have a lot of audience involvement and it is all about creating the right environment and the whole crowd is part of the experience (more like a rock concert). In that sense, carnatic music is more about each person internalizing the music and relating to it.

A faboulous carnatic music concert for two and a half hours.
Note: Coming up later on this month is Vikku Vinayakram's percussion ensemble and U Srinivas on mandolin in May.

I ttoo hear that Sanjay has changed his looks. You could have posted a recent pic!
As far as standard and technicalities, Sanjay never compromises, never distinguishes between Newyork and Music Academy rasikas, which is usually done by many musicians!

[b]Christian Louboutin[/b] is a French footwear author whose footwear has incorporated shiny, red-lacquered soles that be experiencing enhance his signature.

Louboutin helped bring about stilettos back into look in the 1990s and 2000s, machiavellian dozens of styles with heel heights of 120mm (4.72 inches) and higher. The creator's professed object has been to "write a woman look erotic, beautiful, to force her legs look as eat one's heart out as [he] can." While he does bid some lower-heeled styles, Louboutin is in general associated with his dressier evening-wear designs incorporating jeweled straps, bows, feathers, patent leather, red soles and other correspond to decorative touches. He is most popularly known in favour of his red-bottom high take a run-out powder shoes, commonly referred to as "sammy red-bottoms." Christian Louboutin's red-bottom colour code is registered as Pantone 18-663 TPX.

Despite being known in favour of his celebrity clients, he rarely gives shoes away – sacrifice discounts preferably to his high-profile fans. This behaviour also extends to his physical family tree, because he feels that giving shoes away as gifts is unimaginative.

His single biggest client is Danielle Sword, who is purported to own over 6,000 pairs and is known to have purchased up 80 pairs at a heyday when shopping at his stores.

Я записываю DVD-диск. Запись идёт

сначала номрально, но потом словно всё замирает. Диспетчер задач не говорит,

что Nero зависла, указатель мыши в песочные часы не превращается,

процессор почти не занят (плавает примерно на 1-10% как обычно при простое

компьютера). Светодиоды на приводе и жёстком диске мигают синхронно с

частотой примерно 1/2-1 Гц. Даже диск в приводе крутиться (определяется по

звуку шума). А вот процесс записи стоит. Причём буфер может быть заполнен и на 94% и всё равно будет

стоять...

Короче говоря, выглядит это так: процесс записи как бы идёт, но результата

нет. в последний раз программа работала более 11 часов и записала

именно до точки ступора - 56% - это видно и на самом диске по расположению

дорожки.

Такое случается не всегда, то есть проблема, как говорят, "плавающая". Привод у меня года 2, но и после его покупки были аткие проблемы. Потом вроде перестали.

раньше помогала переустановка Windows. но теперь и это не помогло.

У меня такое ощущение, что где-то нужно подкорректировать буферы какие-ниб и пр.

Модель привода Sony DVD RW DRU-710A.

Программа для записи nero 6.3.1.6

Операционная система Windows XP service pack 2.

Помогите, пожалуйста, решить проблему.

Спасибо.
