Miyakisynth is an experimental classical music project. Includes rock styled guitars, synthesizers (machine generated music) and classical vocals to create a unique sound that’s my own. One of the listeners referred to it as “Avant-garde raga rock”.
“Miya ki” is an homage to Miya Tansen, court musician and confidant to the Mughal emperor Akbar from 1500 AD. He was a great singer and an even better composer. His melodic templates (raags) and compositions are sung every day in India, a half millennium later.
