RAGA RGBArray of visual gestures and structures in space | 1998

RAGA RGB 
Raga Rectum Genetalia Blast

”A raga is akin to a melodic mode in Indian classical music. – Each raga is an array of melodic structures with musical motifs, considered in the Indian tradition to have the ability to ’color the mind’ and affect the emotions of the audience.

A raga consists of at least five notes, and each raga provides the musician with a musical framework.  The specific notes within a raga can be reordered and improvised by the musician, but a specific raga is either ascending or descending. 

Each raga has an emotional significance and symbolic associations such as with season, time and mood. The raga is considered a means in Indian musical tradition to evoke certain feelings in an audience. 

Each raga has its ’own unique melodic personality’.”
