Can we give personality to melodic modes in music?
A few days ago, I came across this series called 'What raagam are you?' by IndianRaga and found it remarkably innovative.
First of all, kudos to the founder who came up with this idea. Secondly, phrasing people's personalities by relating them to Carnatic ragas is absolute fun, imaginative and daring. I was amazed by the fact that each kid who took part in this exercise have a definitive point of view since it is not an easy task to give an abstract concept a concrete shape.
I have always been a fan of IndianRaga's work and this exercise has only reinforced my belief in its mission.
Just like how ragas can be associated with personalities, music can also, be related to different aspects of life such as nature, emotions, time, and so on. Do check out the music videos on Sou's Voice's YouTube Channel to see how this is done.
