What a presentation. I just marvel at the nature. Natural shrutis of 2k years perfectly matching modern Shrutis based on mathematical science. That's in simple terms, positive and negative making a circuit. Dr. Oke is just a genius.

This is extremely fascinating. The notion that the European 12 note scale is actually a dissonant scale is, frankly, mind blowing!

Thank you. I have watched the video. Very interesting. Although I am not a raga musician, I am a tabla player and tuning interests me. I am also a student of astrology and some mystical aspects of Indian philosophy. The fact that the European scale results in dissonant rather than consonant intervals has some deep resonance with certain insights I have gathered - which I will not discuss here as it is somewhat controversial subject. If interested in discussing, please get in touch with me via email: shivabreathes at gmail dot com. Thank you.

Thanks Sir...very nice research

wonderful explanation and an eye opener !! your research is remarkable !! thank you so much for such an innovation , explaining the difference between western music and Indian music in terms of mathematics

That was a wonderful explanation of basic notes in two different musical systems. The mathematical basis is precisely explained by Dr. Oke and kudos to him for this brilliant expose'. Keep up the good work Dr. Oke. Hope people interested in music would try to understand the true value of this original research and fundamental differences in the two systems used in the world--East & West. This should enhance the understanding of science and the art of music.

Brilliant presentation.

Well, let's not go that far. Indian Classical Music of 22 shrutis has purer notes and harmonies than the European Equitempered scale. Dr.Oke

It is not true that the western music is not aware of it. Equally tempered tuning was adopted over just intonation as a convenience (else a piece written on a particular key won't sound the same when played on a different key - when musically transposed). A 22 notes harmonium could be a novel one but most of the synthesizers and music workstations allow the musicians to tune the keys independently resulting in the same provision. I do have a couple of them and Roland Juno-G is one among them! Music being a fully developed language well before written language had a golden time in the ancient era. We are only trying to rediscover it now!

A fascinating presentation. The equally tempered European scale is indeed out of tune, but it is a compromise that makes complicated harmony possible in all keys. However the true intervals of the Indian 22 shruti has a more hypnotic sound due to the pure intervals. But an extended harmonic vocabulary would be incredibly complicated with this temperament, beyond human capacity. The beats associated with the slightly out of tune equal temperament give a piquancy and richness to the sound, although the seductive, almost eerie purity of the true intervals is lost. Musical temperament is such a huge subject, maybe future generations will find better solutions. But for now, I am stuck with the 12 note compromise, which is what I've learned and all I really know.

Most of the words I heard for the first time in my life.

So if I'm not wrong, the first two qualities of komal re are in ratios lnguage: 243/256 and 15/16. The first being a so called pythagorean semitone a Limma in the ancient Greek music theory and the latter is a so called just classical semitone, the difference between a just major 3rd and a perfect 4th, or the difference beetween GA and MA

@millennial_bug

And the difference beetween the two is a 80/81 interval, also known in the west as a Dydimus or syntonic comma. All this is beautyfull

This is a wonderful piece of research and it also has a commercial aspect. As the western scale (on a harmonium) is equi-tempered, the same instrument can be used to accompany different singers who have different frequency ranges and different tonic note (Sa). This advantage is lost in a 22-shruti harmonium. Every singer needs to carry his own instrument tuned individually for his range and his tonic note. This increases the market for harmoniums manifold. Am I right, Dr. Oke?

@VidyadharOkeDr

Dear Shriram, I am afraid, you are wrong.The advantage of 22-Shruti-Harmonium in Indian Classical Music is that it gives 22 accurate notes for a singer in 3 scales (Shadja/Madhyam/Pancham), whereas the disadvantage of a western harmonium is that it gives 12 wrong (inaccurate) notes in all 12 scales for all the singers ! Very few understand the quality of this research and decide to use a 22-Shruti-Harmonium......till they see and hear the instrument in person. Dr.Oke

Vidyadhar Oke Dear DR. Oke, Thank you very much for your kind response. I had attended your excellent lecture-demonstration at Anushaktinagar I very well understand that for an individual singer the 22-shruti harmonium will give 22 ACCURATE notes to accompany him once a Sa has been selected. The frequencies of the 22 notes are based on this Sa. But another singer will have his tonic (Sa) at a different pitch. Now can he use the same harmonium or will he have to purchase a different harmonium suitable for him individually? Any western type of harmonium tuned in a the equitempered way works for every singer( though the notes are inaccurate) and many well reputed classical singers still use it and the audience does not find it all that jarring. I hope I have made myself clear enough. Yes I repeat a 22-shruti-harmonium is certainly a better option beyond any doubt but as I understand, the same instrument possibly can not be used by every singer. Once the singer changes the instrument needs to be changed. Sir, your view on this particular aspect will be highly appreciated.

@VidyadharOkeDr

Dear Shriram, As I already mentioned, the 22 Shruti-Harmonium provides 22 shrutis in 3 scales (Shadja/Madhyam/Pancham). Hence, to cover all 12 scales, 4 harmoniums will be required. I also stated earlier that not many people understand/have personally seen or experienced the Quality of this research, hence the audience and even most singers still find the European harmonium acceptable. Please note that we do not yet have a 'universal' Tabla, Tanpura, Sarangi or even Flute etc., capable of being played with 'all' the singers. So, this is not something unique to a 22-Shruti-Harmonium. That is not the primary need too ! The true requirement is the availability of a perfectly tuned 22-Shruti instrument for a singer, and this requirement is satisfied currently only by our 22-Shruti-Harmonium. Yes, my research does provide a commercial potential which should not be seen as derogatory to the Quality of research. Dr.Oke

Dear Dr. OKe, Thank you very much for your prompt response. Let me apologise at the outset if I sounded derogatory. That was not the intention at all. I just wanted to confirm whether I had understood correctly the point regarding the need for different harmonium instruments for different singers ( which incidentally has a commercial aspect). The equitempered western harmonium does have the unique advantage of being capable of accompanying all singers, ( though it has its own faults which your research has certainly overcome.) Once such an instrument was bought, it could accompany every singer in the family or the entire neighbourhood! I highly admire your research that has brought authenticity clarity and precision( no hanky panky) to the topic of Shrutis. You have very clearly demonstrated how to compute the frequencies of all 22 shrutis in a unique way once a Sa note is chosen. The earlier discussion on this controversial topic was very vague and imprecise. One more comment: which I hope you would not take as derogatory. On your website the use of SIGNIFICANT DIGITS that you retain and quote for various calculated frequencies is not consistent. Some times you retain five digits after the decimal point and sometimes many more ( without any apparent reason ). The human ear has limitations and any more digits beyond that are superfluous. I request you to look into this and do the needful.

The "magical meme frequency" pushed by cult leader and convicted fraud and con-man Lyndon LaRouche, do you mean? '432Hz' is just another frequency in the oscillations/vibrations of matter. It's NOT MAGICAL OR SPECIAL. Anyone who says it is (with no unbiased testing, such as an A B X test with a large sum of people.) Of course, the people making this spurious claim use emotional language to manipulate idiots into buying their bullshit snake-oil books and such. Actual science and rigourous testing goes out the window, it's nowhere to be seen. 432 Hz is NOTHING BUT A SHIT MEME, until someone proves otherwise. (Never gonna happen) As a year is supposedly 365 exact days. But in reality, it's not, it's actually around a quarter of a day longer, no nice round figure, sorry, for any naive idiots who believe 432 is special for no reason other than they saw some stupid youtube videos created by morons. Even a day, is different to it once was. The Fukushima earthquake and disaster actually altered the earths spin, so what we call 'a second', used to be one 60th (second) of one 60th (minute) of one 24 hour day length. This was our arbitrary second. And in relation to the earths spin /day divisions itself, It's not a permanently fixed length of time. That's why we now use atomic clocks and other methodologies to keep track of it as a more stable measure. Now add E=MC2 into the equation, and that spacetime itself can warp and can speed up or slow down as does a moving object, with 'relativity' to other masses and energies. 432Hz is now meaningless. So, it was PUSHED IN THE 80s BY A KNOWN CONVICTED FRAUD/CRIMINAL, AND THE MEME'S SPREAD ON EVER SINCE THANKS TO THE INTERNET. (Schiller institute/Lyndon Larouche) TL:DR 'MAGICAL' 432 Hz, IS NOTHING BUT 100% LIES AND GARBAGE.

12et imperialism must end.

Mistakes are plenty in thie narration. For eg. he tries to say the natural 5th and 3rd are only from indian music and Western music is all equal tempered. Wrong. Pythagorian tuning (~bce500) uses natural 5th. Just intonation in western music uses natural 3rd, 4th, 5th etc. Either he doesnt know or purposely misleading people.

What you have done is is a presentation of equal temperament of 12 semitones and contrasting natural harmonics scale. Taking your own calculation of 100 hertz as the adhar swar, the ri 1 of 22 scale must be 103.2 herts and, the pancham will be 150.6 herts. ( in the present 12 semi tone system, the pancham is 149.8 hertz), the reason is, in a lay man' s terms, a scale of1 foot with 12 divisions rarely coinside with a scale of 1 foot with 22 divisions. The actual notes like thri shruthi rishabh and dwi shruthi Gandhar etc., are nowhere present in your instruments. This is because your understanding of derivations and aurguements presented by our Great Bharatha muni and Sharangavadeva is very poor. Their theories still go in tandam with laws of univrasl phisics.

Dear Suresh, Thanks for your response. Please note that Indian Natural Scale is NOT an Equitempered 22-Note scale. Please visit our website www.22shruti.com to read 'Research Topics' for Mathematics, Physics of 22 shrutis and Videos for demonstrations. You can yourself play 22 shrutis on homepage, and study all the relevant Mathematics their itself. Also kindly see videos showing 'Difference between Nada and Shruti, '22-Shruti-Positions on a string', and also their placement in '22-Shruti-Harmonium', together with different Ragas on that harmonium. Please note that 12 Swaraprakaras are divided in 22 shrutis as shown on the Homepage with 3 types of Shrutis coming sequentially as Poorna, Pramana and Nyuna Shrutis. These 22 shrutis are NOT my creation, but a representation of my understanding of the writings of Bharata and Sharangadeva.
