The Art of Konnakkol is an authoritative text on the rich tradition of performing the rhythmic spoken
syllables (solkattu) of South Indian drumming.
Master percussionist Trichy Sankaran has created a complete guide to this dynamic spoken art form.
The principal rhythmic concepts of Karnatak (South Indian classical) music are outlined, explained and
demonstrated in detail - including mora (rhythmic cadence), korvai (binary rhythmic composition) and
koraippu (reduction form).
This book and its accompanying CD contain a wealth of rhythmic information, including examples from
Sankaran’s own body of recorded work, including his albums Laya Vinyas and Catch 21.
Musicians and artists from many backgrounds (and with different levels of experience) can benefit from
the study of konnakkol - percussionists, vocalists, instrumentalists, music teachers, composers, dancers, and anyone seeking a greater understanding of rhythm and musical time. |
