Utsyo Chakraborty: Ātman, for string quartet (2024)

[@marshallmkerr]

The anchoring nobility in the viola throughout is magnificent. May Dharmic spirits never again be compelled to sacrifice in Abrahamic conflicts.

A touching tribute to the Indian soldiers who lost their lives during WWI. I’m in awe of you, dear Utsyo!

[@JordanMHollowayComposer]

[@MentalCake]

Interesting.

Yeeeesss, long time no see, Mr. Chakraborty! Amazing as always!

[@UtsyoChakraborty]

I’m Utsyo to you, Yiğit!

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

Impressive work that uses triadic harmonies in non-tonal ways. Definitely soulful!

[@Musicforever60]

Wow, was really impressed by this one. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a departure from your typical compositional style, right? What inspired that and how did you arrive at this? Please write more and longer! Also, what software are you using to render this recording?

[@thePsykomanteum]

I hear mid-late Shostakovich, but I don't know if it is influence . . . this sounds like You foremost, a union of continents.

[@prabhudhasivanson7110]

In my opinion, a piece of real class. But I feel many of your miniatures could gain a lot by being of longer duration.

[@Martinpapercraft_6813]

This is highly emotional but it doesnt sound classical😅

[@UtsyoChakraborty]

@@Martinpapercraft_6813 It isn’t ‘classical’ in the Haydn-Mozart sense of the word at all.

[@Martinpapercraft_6813]

​@@UtsyoChakrabortyWhat is the main melody? Where is the point of string quartet? Ridiculous dynamic marking, it has no right notes, sometimes it plays a random high notes, fifths out of nowhere omg its terrible, it's not even called "music" it's sounds

@@Martinpapercraft_6813 You’re free to believe as you wish.
