I suppose, everyone of you experienced, while listening to Music, at least once the moment, to forget the limitations of time and space, exploring new
dimensions of your mind. You didn’t? Well, I am quite sure, this article will inspire you to do so.
Satyasheel Deshpande concentrates in his article on a special type of Indian classical music - the 'Khayal' singing. He does not want to give us an introduction or historical overview of the Khayal, much more he provides us with an introspective into the universe of the Khayal,
focusing on the mutual relationship between the music, the psyche of the performing artist and the audience. He approaches this phenomena not as a theorist. Deshpande is a musician himself, and for that he is
capable of providing us with an insight into the nature of the music as well as into the heart of the artist. When he talks about the artist’s and the audience’s experience dissolving time and space, describing the Khayal as a timeless journey, we want to join him on this journey immediately.
Besides this, the reader learns the essential theoretical structures of the Khayal, its technical and artistically features as well as its
distinctions from the classical western music. Reading this article, the desire arises to experience the sensual world of Khayal.
