Anand’s music is often complex, using a harmonic language that is prototypically a mixture of tonality, atonality, serialism and South Indian ragas. In his compositions, Anand shows a penchant for frequent, graceful modulations of key. Anand’s modulatory style, his ideas to coherently and unambiguously connect different f orms (above mentioned) together and his idiomatic method of inflecting melodic phrases are among his most recognizable traits.
And, as he is a very strong non-dualistic (Advaita) spiritual practitioner, he always reflects the ideas of Self-realisation/Inner peace in his compositions.
Anand firmly believes that divinity is universal and art music
is one such medium through which the mind could be channelized and prepared to drink the immortal nectar of wisdom, bliss, Inner-peace and tranquillity.
A new dimension to the future of Western art music from the
east. A raw passion, a passion so pure and contagious…….
Anand's Passion and inspiration springs forth from a deep
spiritual union
with his religious beliefs. Music helps him
communicate with the divine
and inspires him to pursue his love
for Music with lots of fervour and enthusiasm.
He has been a great source of inspiration to me. Anand is always
ready and
willing to help out and share his musical knowledge.
Knowing him and playing
with him was a wonderful experience
which I will always treasure.
I wish him success in all his musical endeavours. May he achieve
his goals in life and have a wonderful career in composing and
performing Music.
