About Drut Tintal - Gat

Drut Tintal - Gat is a Hindustani classical instrumental recording by sitarist Kushal Das. The track was released in an unspecified year. The performance follows the drut (fast) tempo in the tintal rhythmic cycle, a 16-beat pattern common in Hindustani music. The composition is structured as a gat, a fixed melodic framework used in instrumental improvisation.

Kushal Das performs the piece on sitar. The recording has a duration of 9 minutes and 36 seconds. The MusicBrainz Identifier (MBID) for this track is 0a233895-f065-4fe1-a876-11ce5925ff9c. The label and release date remain undocumented in available sources.

The gat section demonstrates characteristic interplay between the sitar and tabla, though the tabla player is not credited. The performance adheres to traditional Hindustani classical conventions, featuring alap-like elaboration followed by rhythmic improvisation within the gat structure. The track exemplifies the drut tintal form through rapid melodic phrases and rhythmic complexity.
