Ragstomorerags, Chennai Soundscape Artist
There are always lots of options for the small but necessary details of luxury in choosing four-star hotels. Chennai is no exception to this rule. There are outstanding accommodations that make your stay here absolutely heavenly. With a keen eye for style, and a permeating sense of hospitality and grace, Chennai will hold a special place in your memory. As one of the largest cities in India, it already holds a special place in many hearts. With a tremendously complex and fascinating urban culture, in the middle of some truly beautiful natural wonders, there is much to see and do here.
The local culture is interesting and remarkably complicated in languages, customs, and traditions. There are always plenty of fascinating festivals that speak of cultural identities that are old and constantly shifting. There are also a number of artists and intellectuals who are adding their own twist to life in contemporary Chennai. One of these artists is local musician Ragstomorerags . This one man virtuoso band classifies himself in a few categories, and could be fairly safely filed with ambient and electronic music. In his own words, however, he is a soundscape artist, and his layered tracks are evidence of a tendency to perform for multiple perceptions simultaneously.
His musical works, then, are experiments in an evolution of sound moments. With obvious influences from the Beatles and some of the more theatrical arena rock bands of the 70s, there is a remarkable fusion of sensibilities in his work. The hard rock influence underscores a few different threads of traditional Indian music to make musical works that are actually very haunting. The nuance begins as background and ultimately takes over the track, making for a work that is simultaneously lyrical and conceptual, presenting a sense of fractured personas playing at an illusion of wholeness. This gives the work of Ragstomorerags a sense of depth that bears repeated listenings, and his live performances in Chennai are wonderful experiences to catch.
