Event Description: Swar-bhed Rahasya: unveiling the mysteries of the sapta-swar, 12 notes, 22 shrutis and vibrational harmony in Hindustani Raag music. 

Presentation by Ashish Dha, Hindustani raagdaaree composer-performer, music researcher, sound designer and naad yog/musical meditation practitioner based in Dublin and New Delhi  

This lecture-demonstration will explore how Hindustani swar is different from the Western 12-note equal-tempered system; why purists have long deplored the 'corrupting' influences of the harmonium on Indian music; and especially, will demystify the legendary '22 shrutis' mentioned in ancient texts, along with making them listenable and playable by everyone! 

As part of 'Music Appreciation Promotion' Series.
