This is amazing. A cat combined with an exotic instrument equals soul touching combination. It may seem like messy notes and curious fiddling but this really warms the spirit and mind. This has to be one of the greatest instruments. And that has to be one of the most spiritual and intelligent animals. Curiosity this time did not kill the cat :)
I like the cat´s reaction to the Sound of the Sitar. "Starring irritated to one Point in the Room, where no Sound comes from." (sorry for my bad English. I´m German)
That was the most amazingly minimalist raga I've ever heard! That cat really knows how to use the spaces between the notes. It's like she's emphasizing the spaces between us all and the sorrow that stems from our failure to understand each other! I, for one, am deeply moved ; )
Hahaha, that was cute but I could tell she's just like my cats that always find valuable or important things are the most fun to chew on. I hope you start keeping that sitar put away out of her reach or she'll chew up that nice, probably expensive instrument!
My cat can play the theremin,saxophone, dulcima,synthesiser,bass guitar and tubular bells but you'll just have to take my word for it as he wouldn't stoop to appearing on Youtube.
This cat's sitar playing is terrible!! Whoever he's been studying with hasn't taught him to tune at all! I suppose that's his idea of alap, but he goes no further than the Sa. This is not a proper alap. And he really has to include some jor or gat. He obviously thinks he's great--actually purring at the end! This is just another example of how the use of meend and ragdari has degenerated in this modern age. The old Ustads would never have played like this.
ok cat, listen: who you think you were when you where playing like that huh? I know you play good, but don't show up ok? don't show up, I could see it in your face, telling me how a bad sitar player I am while you can play such masterpiece! I hurts cat, don't be so mean!!! Despite of your arrogance, I have to admire you. How much will be at least one lesson?
this is probaly animal instinct to bite the strings>i would not get overzeliouly amazed and say she?he is playing sitar>Only person who knows what animal think and do or say have to be closely related to them>>By he way did u see she liked her>him self also and then touched the string>>i would never touch that sitar again>>lol
The #1 sitar video on youtube is by this cat who plays with his teeth? Pandit Habib Khan was called the Jimi Hendrix of the sitar by the French language paper in Beirut, who can be seen on a Guitar-Sitar Jugalbandi video on Ancient Future's youtube page. Mr. Khan is one cool cat, but he doesn't play with his teeth...
mindfully playing the sitar! She's wondeful! I also have a tortoiseshell. In fact, she used to play our piano before her best friend, my oldest cat, died. Great video.
She plays with her teeth - like Jimi Hendrix!
