Spatial Exploration of Melodic Topologies in Indian Classical Music using XR

Indian classical music is based on a complex system of Raagas (melodic modes) and Talas (rhythmic cycles), where each Raaga evokes specific emotions. To explore the melodic structures in Indian classical music we propose a XR (eXtended Reality) based visualization. The visualization is driven by a guitar with MIDI pick-up. The spatial visualization of different Raagas facilitate the exploration of structural symmetries and tonal relationships inherent in Raagas for offering new opportunities for understanding, composition, and educational interaction.
