An amalgamation of songs that employ melody to represent human emotions, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan’s upcoming album, Navras promises to be a spiritual journey. In an interview to Mid-day, he says the instrumental project was created to transcend language barriers between the performer and listener. Edited excerpts of the interview:
While music can evoke emotions, how difficult is it to represent emotions through it?
Musical vibrations can convey moods and emotions and have the ability to mould and shape our consciousness. Different types of music have different effects on the mind. Some of them are positive; others are negative. Our mind is like a living organism - it must be nurtured, and needs stimulation to grow. Music is one of the most important ‘foods’ for the intellect. It also has many faces. Conversation, recitation, chanting and singing are all part of music.
