Laya Vrushti
“Laya
Vrushti”, which means a shower of rhythm, is the first in a series of
Audio Cassettes planed to present exclusively some of the innovative thoughts
mentioned earlier. In three parts, Laya Vrushti presents an innovatory item Laya
Sammilan; followed by a classical rendition, Mridangam Symphony,
and the conventional percussion round with a blend of different instruments
named Percussion Ensemble.
Laya
Vrushti attempts to reveal the potentialities of the related instruments and
simulate exploration of new dimensions in music. The interesting feature of
this presentation is the individual contribution made by each member to
produce an overall enjoyable performance. The variety in the items presented
and the innovations attempted establish a step towards the identification of
the independent personality of each instrument. “Sangeetha” Master
recording Co. Madras released this.
