Sid Sriram Instagram – Notes as 2021 comes to a close//////
Interesting times, where a more immersive integration of our lives with the internet (or evolutionary manifestations of it) seem more and more certain every day. An invisible behemoth of constant chaos inserted directly into your brains.
We’re in times where a quiet mind is a thing of the past for most. Some were born right into the chaos and know nothing other than information flying around everywhere, in all directions, constantly. 
But some of us still remember the mundane, hot summer days where the rest of the world felt eons away. And one’s only mechanism to escape was the imagination, pathways emanating from one’s own soul outward, growing boundlessly. 
I believe that the fundamental core of what makes us human has not changed. Love at our best moments, fear and greed at our worst. A multitude of other emotional spectrums ranging through and between these extremes. All of them mixed into one another swimming around our souls, like a moat. But the soul needs no protection. Only when it’s unfettered do we experience the world, truly.
It’s my deep belief that the internet works in a way that puts us in fight or flight mode so frequently that it’s dulled our ability to be sentient. Like a neon light turned on at full voltage, constantly screaming in the brain.

Sid Sriram Instagram – Last night felt quite surreal for many reasons. To see an audience back out in full force set such a magical tone. To perform in this Sabha/venue again after two years, with such incredible musicians felt amazing. UKS sir is a legend of the highest calibre, and the energy/intensity he brings to the stage at the age of 86 is honestly nothing short of magic. He’s played with my favourite legendary Carnatic musicians, and you can hear it all in his playing. Humbled and blessed. Clips from last night 
1. A final round of Kalpana Swaram for Sri Satyanarayana (Subha Pantuvaralli)
2. A short excerpt of a truly legendary Thani by UKS mama and @ghatamkarthick anna 
3. A few rounds of back and forth Kalpana swaram between myself and Nagai Sriram anna (for Arakimpave in Thodi)
4. Keeping with the second clip of my previous post (words from UKS sir in 2019), a clip of some very humbling words from him last night 

Next concert is on December 30th at Narada Gana Sabha (6:30pm). I’ll be joined by Vidwans Sri Nagai Sriram, Sri Neyveli B Venkatesh and Sri Dr. S Karthick
