Created using LMMS

Though it is a simple sound; it is a collaborative effort with melody author and software developer to preserve the history of Teej season's melody pattern.

LMMS file is available upon request.

We created this short clip in 2020/2021.

Teej is a post-monsoon women festival. This sound tries to depict how it was sung during the 1980s and 1990s generation. The instrument should have been a bamboo flute, but by lacking a proper synthesizer, I used some other organ like instruments and clapping effects.

You should be able to re-create it with the notations I have attached below.

# Tempo: 321 bpm (between 280 - 321)
# Time Signature: 3/4 Beats
# Scale: F
# Peace: Khemta Taal

# Credits
# Melody Author: JK Bista (https://www.youtube.com/c/JkBista/videos)
# These notations are provided by the tutor/author in a specific writing in SARGAM form.
# I converted them to English Scales and entered them into LMMS.

# In the notations, intro, main part and outro are included.

Notes like C* - are from higher octave (asterisk marked)
Notes like G. - are from lower octave (dot marked)

Possibly, at line 37, x x x marked silence should not be there.
