Shades of Love (2005)

Shades of Love Cover

Life Bereft Of Love Is A Body Devoid Of Soul

Genre:

World/Fusion/Indian/Instrumental/Veena

Intro:

: “Shades of Love” is the thematic project of Dr. Krishna Raghavendra, depicting love. The ephemeral form, which begins and develops into acquaintance, anticipation, longing, intimacy, joy and misery, ultimately culminates into divine bliss. The music in this CD is unique. Melodies in each song except in the title track “Shades of Love,” keep changing in quick succession. In the song “Shades of Love”, scale shift leads to many pentatonic ragas. All the melodies and motifs, based on Indian ragas, are original creations of Dr. Raghavendra, who brings together traditional, devotional, folk and contemporary traditions. Finally, voice, key boards and rhythm pads naturally blend with other melodic and percussion instruments to create contemporary Indian music at its best.
