If you want to learn the basics of this awesome music method, from India, then purchase:
"Learn KONNAKOL" (DVD + sheetmusic) avaible in my webshop:
If you need more advanced exercises then I have written 3 books on Konnakol :"Shortcut To Nirvana"
avaible in English, French & Danish - also at Henrik Andersen webshop:
Very impressive, but how does a person start learning this? Every example I see moves to complex rhythms within 2 minutes.
Good point! So I have made a complete "LEARN KONNAKOL" video tutorial - from beginner level to advanced
avaible as download from : henrikandersenwebshop.com
It's all maths, but the beauty of it is you don't need to understand it
to feel it, if you feel a change overwhelm you see the errors idiocies
or weirditudes that popped into your consciousness or your spontaneous
play and see if another more restricted exercise is adaptable from your experience
of the given examples.
Very abstract, I know.
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this. I jsut got in to percussion and have been searching like crazy for konnakol lessons. thanks man.
this is a great video.
just had a lesson with Henrik - very recommended!
thank you!
Wonderful lesson. Thank you sir :)
great thank-you!
oh my. I saw Steve Smith live a few months ago with a konnakol clinic. Its absolutely insane. I wanna learn it so badly.
Great!
great!! thank u so much!!!
It is funny that the rhythmic system "Konakol" from South India has excisted for ages, and I don`t know anyone, who has had the idea to make an instructional video. Thank you Henrik!!!!
Omg what do you do man ?!?! :O you are the BIG BOSS !!!
Respect
incredible method henrik,you have put it in such an amazing way that can relate it in a contemporary context.thank you.
the polyrhythms part is a bit hard at the moment to visualise in grid.hopefully the book explains it further.
cheers!
The konnakol in 5/4 is composed by me and I used it in a modern dance act. The female voices are the dancers witch picked it up very fast. I participated in that show as well with 3 months intensive training. I will put out some clips from that show as soon as I get a copy of the video of Caterpillar from the company
The music is composed by me and its from a 2006 danceperformance that I actally participated in:
"Caterpillar" - you´ll find a video by the same name on my UA-cam account - Containing a live performance of that music. The other voices are the 4 dancers..
The tune is set in 5/8 with a calimba to keep the thala :-)
Damn thats pretty good
Hi friend
very great job !!!
Thanks for the work
Konnakol powa ;-)
this would make an excellent warmup/practice regimen for more technical rapping. great way to build fast flow.
Fantastic. I have a feeling one could use number theory and come up some mind-blowing konnakol compositions.
The music from the beginning is from a Danceshow. One of my compositions in 5/4
Its about grouping the triplets in 7 (7 × 3 regrouped to 3 × 7)
The thing to do is learn the langauge of konnakol so you are able to sing these phrases and understand the transformations in this example = Do the exersice the other way around : Keep the clapping ( 2+2+3) as a constant and sing the transitions. Good luck
Halfspeed, triplets, A tempo, triplets, dobbelt speed, triplets (tisra) etc...
It actually sez so in the video during this exersice, in therms of 2:1 & 3:2 etc :)
Exactly - Be inspired :)
I have written 3 books on konnakol and the whole system of rhythm.
It would def give you a idea of the basics + exercises to the next 20 years :)
You can purchase them and print them out from my webshop:
(The link is in the video description)
Thanks - join my Facebook group "KONNAKOL" as well :)
Hi M34. If you purchase my 3 books "Shortcut To Nirvana" you will get an idea about the basic theory in south indian music + lots of exercises.
The words are "the langauge" and what you do with them is up to your imagination
Even though that "ThaKaDhime" means 4 - you can strech that sound to fit 5,6,7,8,9 etc
Maby it sounds abstract, but if you know the basics, it should make sence :)
I have never released this peice of music. It is from a dance performance
(But you can find a video on my UA-cam profile "Music for danceperformance" where the whole corvai is performed live)
Hi Ed. If you purchase my 3 books "Shortcut To Nirvana" you will get an idea about the basic theory in south indian music + lots of exercises
thanks man.
Fb
can u please explain what are the variations you are depicting while doing the 7 beat cycle.. 2+2+3
im unable to understand it explicitly as i can understand the first exercise..
It is wonderfull is it not ? :)
What I do to communicate with musicians is write out all the changing meters:
could be f.ex : 5/8 + 5/8 + 6/8 + 7/8 + 9/8 ... When they can play their part well - I ask them to feel and understand "the whole thing" in 4/4
What is the recording at the beginning and end of this?
does any one knows, from who is the konnakol that is in the beginning of the video?
hi henrik, im very interested in thi konakkol thing:) so you got group of 2 TAKA 3 TAKITA 4 TAKA DIMI
so if i wana play for example 6/8 is there any rule how to divide rhytm with this, or i can give the filling that i want. example
4+2- takadimi ta or 3+3 takita takita,or 2+2+2 taka taka taka?????
@StringsOfAndersen I'd like to buy the music of the beginning! How can I buy it?
I am lost immediately at the 7 beat cycle polyrhythm study.
I don't understand the logic behind how and when to do the tapping and how it connects with something like 4:1, or the like.
Is this material available in printed form for NON-geniuses like myself
