Home Music Director Sid Sriram HD Photos and Wallpapers November 2022 Sid Sriram Instagram - Explorations in Raga Khamas// Was improvising in Raga Khamas against a bed of D# on the piano last night. Ebbed and flowed with the raga, playing with little melodic motifs, starting from a place of familiarity and seeing where it led. Around the 4:20 mark, I started to happen upon what felt like maybe a new perspective within the raga, followed that North Star which led to a song idea in a 7 count. Next stage in this evolution will be being able to improvise the harmony/chords in real time with the melodic vocal improv. A daily pursuit (A random aside for those who have read this whole note: what film songs are you aware of that are in Raga Khamas, comment your answers) All love

Sid Sriram Instagram – Some mornings I wake up and I see clouds, they’re beautiful and ambiguous. They drift slowly 
Some mornings I wake up and see nothing at all, I stare into an empty blue that feels sterile 
Some mornings, I walk outside and breathe in cold air. First thing, before looking at my phone or at myself in the mirror
I breathe in cold air and feel the infinite flow to all parts of my body 
Some mornings, I find myself falling into myself, caving in to every last thought that occurs. And they don’t occur one at a time, they occur all at once. Cacophony 
Beautiful, kaleidoscopic, aggressive and loud 
The light shines the same way at the start of every day. 
The sun, it slowly rises above the ridge that sits steadfast right across from my backyard 
The chip on my shoulder has shapeshifted over the years, but remains just as heavy, just as steadfast as ever
Sid Sriram Instagram – It’s pretty fascinating how different spaces inspire different kinds of ideas. What lives beyond nostalgia?
I especially love playing this piano whenever I come to back to the bay. It’s been in this house since I was like 9 or 10 I think. I started messing around with a melody today and as I continued I fell into a hook I wrote my first year at Berklee in 2008/09. The song was called California Air and I wrote it when I was hellllllla homesick. As I stumbled into that hook today, it felt really warm. 
(My laughing in the middle is when I say this ad lib lyric “Northern California to be exact” that I’m surprised I remembered)
Hope y’all are having a good weekend
All love
