Once Sanjay Subramanyan, eminent Carnatic musician of the new generation was talking about his relation with the audience. He says that first of all, he sings for himself and the audience comes to his mind only as a second preference. To him it is an aggregate process, where at the first instance the artiste creates music, then the music travel to the rasikas, then the response comes from the listener. He said “ So I cannot think about the listeners before singing”. But once the vibrations start coming from the audience, it is an experience to live…he feels. He said: “There are days when it does not happen…when I know I am not doing a good job. There are days it happens in abundance”
I would like to believe that when he was singing this beautiful Tamil composition ‘Chandiran Ozhiyil Avele Kanden’ in Malayamarutham ragam, his composite process of singing as a blend of himself and the rasikas was at its best…
But my question is….then how one sings in a studio for a commercial release? What happens to the composite process there?
