Hindustani / Ragas / Bhairav
Raag Bhairav
Grave, meditative, awe-inspiring. It uses all seven swaras on the way up and all seven coming down. Phrases centre on Dhaivat - the vadi, or king swara - answered by Rishabh as samvadi.
Swars: Rishabh and Dhaivat Komal. Rest All Shuddha Swaras.

Sargam is written with Sa on C: komal swars are lowercase, teevra Ma is M̄, ʼ before a swar marks the lower (mandra) octave and Ṡ / ʼ after marks the upper (taar) octave. The synth plays plain notes - the gamak, meend, and andolan that bring a raag to life are what you learn in class with an expert.
