Subdivisions, polyrhythms and "nested tuplets" inspired by Frank Zappa with an example from "The Black Page #1"  This video contain my own personal training programs that I have developed during decades - F.ex I dance, and sing, more than 50 different polyrhythms.  LEARN KONNAKOL 4 - is rhythmic training on a whole new level!!!! FEEDBACK: Alfonzo Oliver (USA) : This is useful to more people than you think. 

One thing that I learned from Trilok Gurtu and the whole Konnakol tradition is that there is soo much more to discover within a simple bar of 4/4 than most musicians can even imagine. Here is a simple example of how two bars of 4/4 can be turned in to amazing melodic rhythms. Most musicians has some knowledge about the basic chord progressions, in our culture,  like: 4-5-1 or 2-5-1. But here is an introduction to the indian rhythmic progression in 3 parts TIHAI - resolving on beat one. Can you imagine what happens if you combine these two things? ...

This year I have studied and worked with konnakol for 3 decades and it has been a Wonderfull experience all the way. I am happy to have shared this inspiration to many of my costumers here through my books and videos.  #konnakol #learnkonnakol #indianrhythm

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
