Resonance is an album by the Madras String Quartet[1] led by violinist V.S. Narasimhan. The album consists of several compositions in Carnatic Music that are played against a background of harmonies from Western Classical Music. This album is the result of an effort to fuse Western Classical Music and Indian Classical Music. The songs are played entirely on a violin with cellos and violas providing the background. Some Carnatic Musicians have criticized the Quartet saying that they are "Innovative but Discordant".[2] The album, however has received significant praise from many music enthusiasts all over India.[3] The album comprises nine songs:[4]
