About Vibemaster
Vibemaster is an Indian classical music album by sitarist Purbayan Chatterjee. The album was released on January 1, 2002. It consists of six tracks and features performances in the Hindustani classical tradition.
Purbayan Chatterjee performs all compositions on the sitar. The album includes two ragas: Raga Jog and Raga Jaijavanti. The first four tracks explore Raga Jog through distinct sections. The opening track, "Raga Jog (Alap)," presents the alap, a slow, meditative introduction without rhythmic accompaniment. The second track, "Raga Jog (Rupak Tala)," introduces a six-beat rhythmic cycle. The third track, "Raga Jog (Medium Teental)," shifts to a medium-paced 16-beat cycle. The fourth track, "Raga Jog (Fast Teental)," concludes the raga with a fast-paced teental composition.
The final two tracks focus on Raga Jaijavanti. The fifth track, "Raga Jaijavanti (composition in Slow Teental)," features a slow teental composition. The sixth track, "Raga Jaijavanti (composition in Medium/Fast Teental)," presents a faster rendition in the same rhythmic cycle.
The album does not specify a record label. The release format is not documented in available sources. The total duration of the album is not publicly confirmed.
