A late prelude

இசை எங்கேர்ந்து வருது?” I’m sure that, as for me, this title pops up the Vadivel comedy track in many minds! As oft repeated by doyens in music, the track echoes the sentiment that any sound in nature is musical. Achievement of such heights in music appreciation speaks of the magnificence of the greatest names in music. I’m sure that not all of them were prodigies. The musical sense is instilled over a period of time. Inspite of having been initiated in the tradition of classical music at a very young age, I still believe that there is only a fine line of difference between music and noise. I can say with confidence that many people are giving me company in my boat ;) When my elder brother attempted to introduce me to rock and death metal, I screamed bloody murder on listening to a few songs!!!! I just cannot come to terms with the fact that- music need not soothe you all the time, it can invigorate you too (like people claim loud music does!). 

Loud and frenzied music puts me to bed with a headache. Many of us have, unfortunately, not yet attained the blissful level of keen listening and enjoyment of any kind of music. I would love to work out my versatility issues in music and expand my genre of music appreciation. Interaction with people having different music interests is a key to this. Knowledge about the underlying facts in each genre would definitely help us understand and enjoy them better. This was the driving force behind the inception of this blog. The people contributing to this blog exhibit unique talents and are eager to share their knowledge on such a platform. The currently posted articles aptly supplement my statement! I hope to learn a lot from this joint-venture. Hope all of us delve deeper into music!
