About Raga Math

The ragamath operations help in:

• Understanding the arithmetic behind rAgams. This is especically true with shifting: simply starting at a different point of the scale of a rAgam results in a scale of a another rAgam.
• Noting that two rAgams that may have the same scale could sound very different. Thus, we understand that there is more to a rAgam than just its scale.

• Creating themed sequences in different ways. Examples: a set of shifts all on the same rAgam; a cascade of successive operations - (e.g., shift rAgam 1 to yield rAgam 2; swap notes in rAgam 2 to yield rAgam 3, and so on.)

  The melody of the music will no doubt attract all listeners. In addition, technical listeners will also appreciate the mathematical intricacies.
