From my understanding India has one of the richest musical histories in the world. I would really like to hear about the technical aspects that developed from this.
For example when I google ''Indian scales music'' here is my first hit- ''The seven svaras of the saptak are the fundamentals of heptatonic scales or melakarta ragas and thaats in Carnatic and Hindustani classical music. The seven svara are Shadja (षड्ज), Rishabh (ऋषभ), Gandhar (गान्धार), Madhyam (मध्यम), Pancham (पंचम), Dhaivat (धैवत) and Nishad (निषाद).''
I have no idea what that means, but I'm really interested to learn more.
Really the notes and scales that we all agree sound good are just (a tiny amount of) math and mostly learned cultural biases. Really any set of spectrum ranges/algorithms for selecting wave ranges that we are exposed to over and over again will eventually become pleasing to our minds.
As the culture that first discovered the concept of Zero I figure that India is one of THE best places to start to learn about the mathematics of sound. I'm all ears. Thanks for inviting everyone.
