Konnakol and 6/8 or 12/8 grooves
Today is 6/8 - witch is also one of the most common rhythms in music. To celebrate this I repost this because it's about what you can do in 6/8 with a little knowledge. To me rhythm is the art of timetravelling. Getting from point A to point B! And in this example in surprising new ways. I hope that this will bring delight to some of you and even inspire. The technique that I use to sing and count here derives from the 5000 years old Carnatic music tradition. And its called KONNAKOL.
Thank you for shopping here and supporting my artistic work
It is with great gratitude that I can declare that more than 1000 costumers have purchased stuff from my webshop, specially the 3 LEARN KONNAKOL tutorials. This makes it possible for me to survive as an artist in the kingdom of Denmark. There is no sponsoring possible in DK - so it is fantastic to be able to support myself - and my artistic research in the future this way. What a blessing <3

KONNAKOL Lessons
"Henriks Approach to Konnakol combines working on the basics of rhythm and at the same time showing the wide possibilities of their creative use. Both things are well documented in his books and his videos on YouTube. But there is no substitute for a personal feedback on your weak spots and for specific advice on how you can work on them. At the same time Henrik motivates you to use the material freely for your own expression. Finally it is about the musicians way to humanity and to freedom with Henrik giving an inspiring example". (Stephan Van Briel / Germany)
