Along with a fine sense of laya, Praveen Sparsh brings to the stage a thoughtful and gentle creativity
Praveen Sparsh’s recent passion project, ‘Unreserved,’ puts the mridangam in non-traditional settings and marries it with sounds recorded in public spaces, creating a cohesive piece perhaps in a genre of its own.
To hear music in noise — or what the vast majority interprets as noise — is but one of the abilities that this perceptive young musician possesses. Whether traditional Carnatic concerts or funkier music collaborations, film and theatrical productions or creating his own tracks, Praveen straddles several creative spaces seamlessly. And as an accompanist he has earned the respect of a wide array of artistes for whom he has played the mridangam, including S. Sowmya, T.M. Krishna, Aruna Sairam and Bombay Jayashri.
