Our music
The carnatic progressive rock genre a revolutionary musical form: carnatic progressive rock is a genre that agam has single-handedly created and defined. This innovative musical style takes the ancient, mathematically precise ragas (melodic frameworks) and complex rhythmic cycles of carnatic musica 2,000-year-old south indian classical tradition and channels them through the instrumental power and compositional complexity of progressive rock.
What makes it unique:
Raga-based compositions: unlike western scales, carnatic ragas contain microton- al variations and emotional nuances that create entirely new sonic landscapes When complex time signatures played on electric instruments: traditional carnatic rhythmic cycles (talas) naturally align with progressive rock's love for odd meters and polyrhythms improvisational elements: the classical indian tradition of improvisation brings spontaneity to structured rock compositions
