The band believes in playing classical music with a difference,
but classical music nevertheless.Belief in our freedom to express
thoughts by doing what we do best.
To allow music. To experience
the music that comes along. Music... an extension of our soul and freewill. Elements of jazz, blues, trance, funk... but Indian at the same time.
Simple? No. Complex? Umm... No...
Redefining the world of contemporary classical
music with New Age groovy sound experiments.
A musical evolution... An astral journey of experience...
KARNATRIIX is not just another trick out of the sagging bag of what goes
for fusion music these days. It is the soul-soothing culmination of a band of musicians’ experiments with different styles and sounds, much like a new
colour produced by the skillful combination of various hues and shades.
KARNATRIIX’s soundscape stretches out far beyond what has been
created hitherto. It is contemporary and yet traditional. It is not simple
and yet not complicated. It is electronica and also acoustica. You can chill
out or just sit in silent contemplation as the music fills up your senses.
Misguided and conflicting it might seem, but the music is direct and clear, offering Indian classical creations in a new age package to people all over
the world.
KARNATRIIX’s music has elements of jazz, blues, rock, trance, funk, and classical sounding in perfect harmony with the Carnatic kritis of Saint Thyagaraja. It is not a traditional melody trapped in a melting pot of
sampled copy-and-paste grooves topped by more samples of ambient
keyboard and bass textures. The music, with a contemporary feel, has
been woven carefully around the traditional melody, entailing months
of study and a clear and very deep understanding of the different styles
and rhythms used in the compositions.
KARNATRIIX features John Anthony on guitars, Ustad Faiyaz Ahamed
Khan on vocals/sarangi and “Darbuka” Siva on percussion.
Says John Antony: "Our music is an extension of our soul and freewill.
We believe strongly in our freedom to express ourselves by doing what
we do best and that is making music and ultimately experiencing it.
We hope other people too can share our experience".
..
The concept album has songs that are based on a trip from dawn to dusk, a dialogue between man and nature and a link between the known and the unknown. The album also contains groovy yet brilliantly melodic compositions by Saint Thyagaraja.

.....KARNATRIIX has redefined the world of contemporary classical music with its new age groovy sound experiments. One thing is for sure, the band is here to stay and revolutionize the concept of sound production......
If one must pause to describe the music played by Karnatriix, it would be
hard not to liken it to a river flowing through the night. Effortless, gentle. Rippling along to an invisible rhythm.
