    Love how the Jhalla ended with Bhairav falling back to rest. It’s like you invoke a deity and he showed you all colours , all corners and it’s majesticity, finally resting

    I have never before heard a Western instrument that was able to capture quarter tones. Most Westerners at first dislike quarter tones, considering them at first a perceptual dissonance, or something slightly off-key, but to those with perfect pitch, this simply expands the range of all music immensely. And as if playing the piano itself was not complicated enough, to add in adjusting for quarter tones while playing it is what we call a "phenomenon," or a "phenom" (fee-nahm). Brilliant.

    My mind has been blown. I just... I can't even begin to describe the places I was taken as these waves of sound washed over me. This is absolutely brilliant. I just want to get my hands on one of these as soon as possible. I fear I'll never leave it.

      The only scale I can make out of this is the Byzantine Major Gypsy scale. Though for a raga it seems like a long shot. The closest I can get with india is the Avaha Raba scale. But that also has the Bb problem.

      It's a "fluid piano", there's a few video's about it on youtube. It's a fairly recent invention to use vibrato on a piano, as well as to allow for using microtones, which are more common in eastern music.
