Mysterious Duality: Just Me: Jayanthi Kumaresh
Label: EARTHSYNC
Dr. Jayanthi Kumaresh, a native of Tamil Nadu, India, is a skilled performer on the veena, a plucked stringed instrument (similar to the sitar) used in southern Indian classical music known as Carnatic music. In Mysterious Duality: Just Me, Dr. Kumaresh produces a varied and more pronounced sound on the four compositions by overlaying Veena recordings. Carnatic music with a modern twist, an absence of vocals allows the Veena to shine with every pick and pluck. A relatively short running time of 42 minutes may be a deterrent for some, but this is an example of quality winning over quantity.
