ABSTRACT

Karnatic techniques improve the rhythmical awareness and accuracy of performers. This research and its application to western music that was created without using any karnatic concept can become a much-needed tool. Find unintentional parallels between western and karnatic concepts. The way of organising and developing complex irregular groupings' as established by nadai bhedam and anuloma-pratiloma combinations in karnatic music simply does not exist in western music. Piano Concerto composition is another clear example of jathi bhedam, this time in tisra, since the time signature is 12/8. With this classic' of the jazz-fusion era, the analysis of parallels between karnatic music and jazz pieces of the past 50 years. In Mort Subite by Brian Ferneyhough, the rhythmical grid he provided to the Dutch Nieuw Ensemble as a guide. Iannis Xenakis has used persephassa concept in many of his compositions, varying the notation from piece to piece.
