Temple Beyond Sanctuary: A personal study of hybridizing Indian music and Jazz

Temple Beyond Sanctuary is a suite of compositions written to utilize Carnatic music and its\u27 hybridization in a modern jazz context. This project studies the requisite devices that characterize Carnatic music, and explores the central attributes to its performance. These devices are then expanded upon by combining concepts from the jazz genre, adding upon like elements like improvisation, motivic development, and rhythmic complexity, but carefully contextualizing elements as authentic to each genre that are absent in one another, such as harmony or dissonance. Theses compositions are derived from personal stories of immigration, that the author has collected from his family, or personal experiences as an immigrant.https://remix.berklee.edu/graduate-studies-global-jazz/1085/thumbnail.jp
