Re: Rahul Sharma

Rahul Sharma’s Maya - The illusion is a treat
By MIO Team
Dec 06, 2006, 07:22

Santoor king Rahul Sharma fits perfectly into the shoes of his renowned father Pt. Shivkumar Sharma in terms of inestimable talent. Carrying the legacy of the instrument, Rahul has achieved fame with his path breaking work in the realm of music and his newly released album ‘Maya - The illusion’ makes it more apparent. The album has already sold over one-lakh records in the country. For the first time he has collaborated with a vocalist for this album for some outstanding compositions. Also worth noticing are the songs videos with great visuals. The album has been created through a mix of animation and live action and Rahul believes he has to be witness to such experiences though he must not become part of it. “Have you seen the music video? In that world of illusion, I am the creator. As evolution begins, I give birth to flowers, fruits… Then Mahamaya appears and tries to seduce me. But she gets destroyed in the end,” he says.

Rahul’s 35 albums so far have been very different from each other and so is ‘Maya’ from the rest. In ‘Maya’ an Egyptian instrument called Quanoon has been used and also a vocal artiste has been used for the first time. Sunidhi has collaborated with Rahul for two of the scores in the album. Though we’ve heard the musician singing in ‘Time Traveler’, he is reluctant to sing. “I did sing in Time Traveler but that is because the song Manzille Manzille suited my voice. Doesn’t every composer sing through an instrument? I also record my songs in my own voice to let the singer pick up the tune. Only that one time my voice stayed in the final recording.Here Sunidhi sings pitch-perfect. Sometimes my instrument plays the mukhra and she continues with the antara, while at other times it is the other way round,” he puts in.

Rahul Sharma (India)
Native Signs
Sense World Music

Virtuoso santoor player Rahul Sharma experiences mixed blessings. He is the protégé and son of the Santoor Master and musical pioneer Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma, the man responsible for transforming the santoor (hammered dulcimer with origins in Kashmir) into a solo instrument. On one had a great deal of responsibility rests on Rahul's shoulders, but on the other hand he enjoys the privilege of accessing vast musical knowledge handed down to him by his father. Rahul first performed a duet (jugalbandi) with his father mentor in 1996. He was also encouraged to listen to music from around the world and absorb different musical influences into his performances. Rahul blends two Indian music traditions (Hindustani of the North and the Carnatic system of the South) on this live recording of Raga Kalavati. Bhavani Shankar (Pakhawaj) and Shafaat Ahmed Khan (tabla) join Rahul for this performance.

As is the custom, the soloist performs the Alap without accompaniment. Bhavani Shankar brings in the Pakhawaj (a two headed barrel shape drum) on the slow and moody Jod and Jhalla. Shafaat Ahmed Khan (who has also accompanied Shiv Kumar Sharma in performances/recordings) adds tabla beats on Gat in Rupak taal (Gats are compositions and the section of the raga where musicians improvise) and the tabla and santoor continue their musical partnership through Gat in Teentaal (medium tempo) and Gat in Teentaal (fast tempo). Bhavani joins Shafaat and Rahul on the grand finale, Jhalla in Teentaal. The musicians perform at a rapid pace with tabla and Pakhawaj beats bouncing off the santoor's chiming notes. And similar to other ragas, the musicians end the raga with a dynamic climax, rewarding the audience with a virtuostic performance.

Besides performing traditional ragas, Rahul composed music for the Bollywood hit film, Mujhse Dosti Karoge, collaborating with producer-director Yash Chopra. Rahul has also explored other traditions including folk melodies of Kashmir and Sufi music. His 2002 recording, Himalayas released on Real World Records, focuses on various folk cultures residing in the Himalayas. The CD was recorded live and you can find a review of it on this site. Similar to his father, Rahul has already proven to be a versatile and innovative performer with a bright future ahead of him. http://www.senseworldmusic.com also see Indian Music

RAHUL UNPLUGGED: SANTOOR MEETS PIANO

Avinash Kalla

Rahul Sharma…Carrying on a family tradition.

Rahul has emerged from the shadow of his legendary father Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma with his first fusion album with pianist Richard Clayderman. The young musician is all set to take the santoor to greater heights in the twenty first century with his creativity.

Santoor maestro Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma’s son Rahul has had to go through the paces and is now emerging from the wings of his father to carve an identity for himself in the world of music. Initially, of course, a little help from the father was always welcome.

Back in 1999 Sharma launched Rahul with an album that was appropriately titled Together. " The musical partnership reaches its peak when the performing artists belonging to two generations hail from the same family," says Rahul who has come a long way since he rode piggyback on his dad.

He now has a solo career all his own. His concerts in India and abroad have a following that could match that of his legendary dad. He has performed with the great fusion band Shakti which has the likes of Ustad Zakir Hussain, John Mclaughin and T.N. Vinayakram. And more excitingly, the young man has also composed music for the Hrithik Roshan starrer, Mujhse Dosti Karoge.

Rahul’s album The Confluence with pianist Richard Clayderman, recently released by Virgin Records, has been a smash hit among connoisseurs of fusion music. The two who were recently in Delhi to perform in a music festival organized by the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation, are now planning another album together.

The Confluence was a great experience, says Rahul and adds, " When I got a call from Virgin Records for a jugalbandi of the piano and santoor I agreed instantly without even checking out who my accompanying artiste would be.

When he came to know it was the legendary Richard Clayderman, he says he was simply stunned. " I then started working on it, talked to Richard and sent him compositions on CDs and E-mails. Then we met and worked out the finer details. So the album was partly done here and partly in Paris.

It was a wonderful experience working with talented Rahul, he has a great understanding of music, says Clayderman, internationally considered to be one of the best selling French recording artists and concert performers of all times.

Rahul has other admirers as well. Admirers like tabla maestro, Ustad Zakir Hussain, who says, " It was a treat listening to the duo. Not for a moment did one get the feeling that this youngster was playing alongside one of the greatest international masters of the piano.

Not bad going for the young man who, just four years ago, was an accompanying artiste with his father and was extremely comfortable to remain in his shadow. He gave his first performance when he was 24 but in a few years he has become one of the most sought after musicians not only in India but abroad as well.

Be it the gradual unfolding of a raga through alaap or the rich, complex and intricate permutations and combinations of layakari or the soul-string rendition of an emotional folk melody, Rahul does it all with great panache.

Today, the 28-year-old can match his illustrious father string for string. Earlier he just accompanied him to concerts and was one of the many musicians in the background score. Now he can give a stirring jugalbandi with the senior ustad.

His complex unfolding of a raga and intricate rhythmic patterns of the rendition of folk melodies conjure upon the mind’s eye the visions of Kashmir---much like the music of Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma.

Though purists have always expressed reservations about the shortcomings of the santoor, essentially a Kashmiri folk instrument, to adapt itself to the needs of classical music, Rahul says he is determined to popularise it with the younger generation. " I owe it to my father and grandfather.

Indeed, he does. His grandfather Pandit Umadutt Sharma had the vision of establishing the santoor on the concert platform. Shiv Kumar Sharma achieved that ambition. He did for the santoor, what Bismillah Khan did for the shehnai-- increased the melodic range of the instrument to cover three octaves. He also enhanced its strings to 91 and its bridges to 31, making the instrument more expressive of the bhava innate to the ragas.

And that’s the legacy that his son has now inherited. Rahul is all set to take this instrument to greater heights in the twenty first century by adding new dimensions to it with his creativity.

Transcript of INDIATIMES LIVE CHAT with instrumentalist, Rahul Sharma

April 20, 2006 in Mumbai

Rahul Sharma
instrumentalist

“Kashmir has been a great influence in my music”

Hilton> How does it feel after releasing 32 albums?
Rahul Sharma> The number of albums is not that important. It’s the content and quality of music which holds more value for the musician and his listeners.

Hilton> When are planning to work with Yash Chopra, like your father?
Rahul Sharma> I have already done the music for Music dosti karoge with Yash Chopra. And I was also offered Hum Tum by him but I could not accept the offer as I am a traveling musician and playing at concert holds more importance to me. But I look forward to working with Aditya Chopra sometime soon.

Natsuhiko> What does the song Time Traveler signify?
Rahul Sharma> Time Traveler is very much what I am. I travel around the globe to play my music and have always been fascinated by science fiction themes. So it’s a combination of both put together.

Trupti7> We at “Santoor fans” (Canada), welcome you...
Rahul Sharma> A big hello to all the “Santoor fans” And keep up the great work. How is the weather in the new found land?

Raya> What inspired you to compose WHITE?
Rahul Sharma> White means a lot to me. White is ethereal, pure and the sign of peace. I was also always fascinated by snowfall which I have seen in Kashmir.

Rutuja_Padwal> How was Rahul Sharma as a kid?
Rahul Sharma> I was very shy as a kid. A passive student who was caught several times changing his report card.

Deep_Bond> It is said that music doesn't follow any boundaries. You have performed all over the globe. How has been your experience so far?
Rahul Sharma> It’s a very humbling experience to get an opportunity to play all over the globe. It’s true that music is a universal language because you connect instantly with people from difference nationalities. Like the Portuguese song my latest album “White” Although people may not understand the language but the feelings and emotions get conveyed easily.

Baggy_Pants> Your father is a music maestro. Did you ever feel over shadowed by his towering image?
Rahul Sharma> Yes I did when I started off. To play the same instrument in which my father has become a legend was like taking up a challenge. But it was he who believed that I could prove myself and that’s the reason why he started teaching me.

Trupti7> Where was the video for "Time Traveler" shot? It was a great video.
Rahul Sharma> It was shot in Bangkok. The credit goes to the director, Shiraz and do look out for the second video which is called “Manzillein” which will be on air soon.

Bold Steps> Your compositions have a distinct flavor of the Kashmir Valley. It's beauty, diversity of language, custom, values and traditions. Is it a conscious effort? Why has the Kashmir Valley influenced you so much?
Rahul Sharma> Kashmir has been a great influence in my music. More so because the Santoor belongs to Kashmir and I have always loved the folk music this valley. And of course Kashmir is one of the most beautiful places on earth and it’s very inspiring.

Baggy_Pants> You won the MTV Immies award for the best World Music album for your album “Zen” Tell us what inspired that album? Were you expecting such an applauding response?
Rahul Sharma> No I was not. Zen was totally inspired by Osho's philosophy. I have read several of Osho's books and I think they have helped me in a big way great in making my life less complicated. I believe that music should not only for relaxation but should have a deeper meaning. Moreover I try and create a philosophy through my music.

Bold Steps> You have given the santoor (a traditional classical instrument) a face lift by merging it with other musical instruments and languages. What inspired this interesting combination?
Rahul Sharma> In spite of my training in Indian classical music I try and offer a amalgamation of world and Indian classical music together. When on stage I stick to the pure version. But in my albums I love to experiment since I listen to a lot of world music and that brings in a lot of young listeners.

Raya> What do the words in your sound track “Snowfall” mean?
Rahul Sharma> Its in Portuguese and its basically expressing how beautiful the colour white looks when it snows and all other things connected to white. White also means the science of consciousness.

Trupti7> The album "Confluence" was a really different concept. What was it like working with Richard Clayderman?
Rahul Sharma> Piano and santoor make a very interesting combination and both are happy and romantic in mood. If you open up the piano from inside you will see that the metal keys are struck by hammers just like the santoor with wooden strikers. So the piano has evolved out of a string instrument, very much like the santoor . It was a greet experience working and composing the album with Richard. In fact we have already begun work on "Confluence” part II.

Artiahc> If we want to learn santoor then, how should we go about it? Are there learning have schools in India?
Rahul Sharma> We are planning open such a school in Mumbai and I am also planning to hold a demo for santoor students on my website www.rahulsantoor.com.

Alka_Jayaswal> When are you going to settle down?
Rahul Sharma> I prefer to be a bachelor because I am having lot of fun being alone and having no invasions in my privacy. But if I meet someone who has beautiful eyes and inspires me totally, I may think of settling down.

Raya> I really loved your album “White.”; purity and bliss. Can I know your favorite food and season?
Rahul Sharma> I love Chinese food and my favorite season is winter. That’s the reason “White” the album begins with January and ends with December.

Sign off Message> Thank you very much for all your questions and your time and I look forward to the encouragement so that I can give you all better music. Love Rahul.

Re: Rahul Sharma

Samandar - Rahul Shamra

<>document.write('Aelina,')Aelina, IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, April 10, 2007]

Santoor maestro Rahul Sharma is back. And this time around he takes you to 'A World Beneath The Ocean' - 'Samandar'. He tells a musical story of these very fascinating species and people of the ocean. He talks about underwater which is like another world, with its own life, myths and mysteries.

When a track's title reads 'Mistress Of The Sea', one is sure that it is going to be one haunting musical piece. That's exactly the way the track begins as the musical piece opens in a gripping manner but slow, subtle yet engaging coming musical binding happening through the amalgamation of various instruments including 'santoor'.

After exactly a couple of minutes, the mood is changed completely as Rahul gets his 'santoor' storming the track and making 'Mistress Of The Sea' one enriching experience. More you listen to it, more you end up falling in love, especially if you are fond of Yash Chopra school of music!

'Curse Of The Mermaid' - now could it have been more disturbing a title than this? One starts giving the track a close hearing right away to know what's in store since there is bound to be something different about it. A 15 minutes musical piece, it may well have been a record setting composition since the track just doesn't narrate a story, it is a story in itself.

Starting off in a haunting way with western instruments creating the right 'feel', one waits with bated breath for 'santoor' to arrive. Well, it arrives in an unexpected manner after 'Curse Of The Mermaid' is 3 minutes through. And just when one would have though that 'santoor' would be the mainstay of the track, it disappears once again!

'Coral Reefs' takes you all the way down to the depth of the ocean as faint sounds kick start the proceedings. This time around, it's not a long wait for 'santoor' to arrive since it is present from the very beginning. Creating a melodious setting that could be a tune for a romantic number, it goes on well for some time before it becomes stagnant once again after a good stage had been set for it. This frequent change in mood does diverts the attention of a listener but thankfully that is not for long as 'santoor' arrives back on the scene in a while.

There are no complains though in case of 'Sea Horses & Treasures' as 'santoor' forms the basis of some soothing melody that comes your way. The track moves on slowly without any ups and downs while 'santoor' too remains present in the entire duration of the track without making an unexpected vanishing act, as has been the case in number of tracks preceding it.

There is a faint sound from down under in case of 'Deep Sea Divers' that turns out to be a better listening experience than 'Sea Horses & Treasures', partly because it has that conventional Hindi film music appeal to it which makes it quite identifiable for one and all. There are different moods brought in the track through the way 'santoor' is paced with just the right pauses in the interim that makes 'Deep Sea Divers' an enjoyable experience.

Lastly comes 'Legends Of The Sea Goddess', which as per the track's title, begins on an haunting note. There is a certain mystery in the manner this track is developed with a slow yet gradual movement in the track. What is noticeable though is the sound of 'santoor' where the notes used are completely different from what one has been used to hearing from Rahul Sharma. Two minutes into the track and the tune starts becoming increasingly enjoyable with the tempo building up as a result of number of musical instruments coming together. Truly one of the best tracks in the album that brings 'Samandar' to an apt ending.

Rahul Sharma has been known for picking up various themes for each of his offerings. This time around he brings an ocean to tune and mesmerizes once again with his brilliancy and hold behind his art.

Re: Rahul Sharma

Rahul Sharma

Music of the Himalayas

Real World

A better title for this album would be "music of Jammu and Kashmir," since it focuses almost exclusively on the traditional folk and Sufyana musics of that region at the crossroads of the Middle East and South Asia. The santoor, a stringed instrument played with curved wooden sticks, has a sound akin to that of the hammered dulcimer, and like the dulcimer was long thought of as mainly a folk instrument. But Rahul's father, Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma, almost single-handedly achieved acceptance for the santoor in Hindustani (North Indian) classical music through his brilliant playing. Now Rahul is becoming an acknowledged master of the santoor, which has become one of the most important instruments in Kashmiri music. For this live recording from a festival in Italy, Rahul is joined by Ustad Shafat Ahmed Khan on tabla and Pandit Bhawani Shankar on various folk percussion instruments.

Although the santoor has many similarities to a dulcimer -- both combine strings and percussion, for instance, marrying elements of melody and rhythm in the same instrument -- the santoor's range is much wider (Rahul's santoor has 89 strings), and its sound sweeter. On "Maqam-e-Navaa," which draws on Sufi-inspired folk melodies, Rahul's santoor sends notes swirling upward like incense and rushing down like crystal streams into pristine mountain valleys. The feeling of this track is bright and pure, the essence of nature and spirit expressed in musical form. Unfolding at its own easy pace, refreshingly unhurried, "Melody Of Kashmir" paints a joyous vision of green fields, blue skies, gentle breezes, warm sun, shining eyes, and laughter. The santoor's notes cascade and shimmer, opening out into a very funky jam with tabla and other percussion later on, like a dancer spinning with their head thrown back, clothes whirling all around, pure ecstasy in music and motion.

The last two tracks, "Melody of Jammu and Kashmir" and "Melody of Kashmir in Contemporary Music," were both composed by Rahul himself. The latter is a 35-minute showcase for the santoor, as well as for Rahul's accompanists; occasionally it feels a bit self-indulgent, like the long solos taken by jazz or rock musicians at the end of a live show, but is still quite enjoyable -- especially the thundering drums and the second, more introspective, section for the santoor, which feels like the slow, soothing approach of eventide. "Melody of Jammu and Kashmir" moved me deeply, from its slow and simple beginning, like the first tentative caresses of a lover, to the frequent conversational exchanges between santoor and drums, at times hushed, then surging with passion, just like love itself.

Re: Rahul Sharma

Rahul Sharma's Time Traveller

He is undoubtedly the most talented, multifaceted and good looking young Santoor maestro of the present generation. And Rahul Sharma's unique album, Time Traveller, is just out!

Time Traveler is a unique musical interpretation of the mysterious "Time Travel" theory from a musician's point of view. In the album, Rahul Sharma , takes the listener through a musical journey, which is beyond time, using the Santoor in a new age avatar and using various other ambient sounds. The nine brilliant tracks featured in the album encapsulate the joy, the ecstasy, the mystery and the various stages and experiences in a musician's life.

Rahul Sharma loves to take the tougher path and thrives on challenges. Result? A series of hugely successful 'firsts' in the list of his musical adventures. For instance -he is the first and the only Indian musician to collaborate with the world-renowned pianist Richard Clayderman to not just cut an album (hugely successful album"Confluence"), but he is also the youngest Indian musician to perform at the WOMAD (World of Music, Arts and Dance) festival in UK, as well as the Edingburgh festival, Scotland (2001) and -his performance along with his illustrious father Pandit Shivkumar Sharma was the first ever concert of Indian music in Egypt.

He is the first Indian classical musician to work solo to produce music for a commercial Bollywood feature film. He's probably the youngest music director for whom Lata Mangeshkar, the queen of Hindi filmdom, agreed to sing in his very first venture.

Not just that, there are consistent additions to his list of awards like the Indo- American Society Award (1998), Bollywood Music Award for promising New Music Director, New York (2002), First MTV (IMMIES) Music Award for Best Classical / Fusion Album 2003 and many more.

Undoubtedly Rahul Sharma is the new face of tradition. He is "India-in-the-Twenty first Century" personified. This album is supported by two rocking video's shot in picturesque Bangkok.
