The legend TVG created the ragam Thendral தென்றல் - sa ma1 da1 sa - sa da1 ma1 ri1 sa - in yesterday’s concert I planned on singing this, ended up adding pa to both aro/Ava, the result was sa ma1 pa da1 sa - sa da1 pa ma1 ri1 sa - decided to call it Pudiya Thendral புதியதென்றல்
At the Indian Fine Arts I wanted to sing the Dr BMK creation Mahati, ended up singing the wrong Ga - so another raga was born - sa ga2 pa ni2 sa, sa ni2 pa ga2 sa - after much discussion/thinking decided to call it Murali #ragaevolution
Technically though the raga was neither born nor created, just sung and named I guess!!!
Reminded of S Balachander - once in a lec dem he demonstrated creating new ragas on the spot and said he could create a raga in the name of every member in the audience!
