11-year-old composer Amartya Paul is a wunderkind of musical gifts and talents as the young multi-instrumentalist is building a flourishing catalog of recordings and has also performed at some of the most prestigious venues in the world including Carnegie Hall, the Royal Albert Hall and Paris Philharmonie to name some prime examples.
Amartya is a classically trained musician (piano and violin) and has been honing his craft as a composer since the tender age of just 6 years old. Amartya's marvel of a music journey as a young composer has been guided under the expert tutelage of Grammy grant recipient Kia Portafekas who nurtures Amartya's artistry and maximizes his spark for creativity.
With this classical training in mind, Amartya still has been influenced by a variety of other musical formats and thus has developed a composition style that spans across a wide variety of genres. Taking his eclectic background and diverse spectrum of music creation into mind, today we're spotlighting a recent composition release of Amartya's titled "Princess Ava".
"Princess Ava" is an extraordinary classical composition as literally each note and stroke of the piano keys tells a story; invoking the depths of your imagination and conjuring up vivid images in your mind as you immerse yourself in the mellifluous progression of piano arpeggios and triads.
The story behind the concept of "Princess Ava" is brilliantly conceived and explained by Amartya, "This is part of a larger story about a royal family and the adventures they have. In this scene, Princess Ava is in the castle and hears commotion. She then makes her way down to the depths of the dungeon. Once inside the dark dungeon, she encounters the escaped giant. The giant and Princess Ava get into a struggle as Princess Ava tries to prevent the giant from escaping. However, despite her best efforts, the giant escapes. The story will continue to unfold over the course of months. Stay tuned!"
That's quite an adventurous storyline and the ebbs and flows depicted in 'Princess Ava" are masterfully portrayed throughout the course of the song.
The mood shifts and accompanying wide range of note selection gives the instrumental an incredible non-verbal expressiveness. In particular, the arrangement is beautifully laid out as the speed and cadence of the piano strums seamlessly on multiple levels. "Princess Ava" begins in a mid-tempo adagio stage and climaxes near the middle of the song in a frantic animato state that brilliantly reverts back to adagio.
With such attention to detail and focus on conveying the composition's theme accordingly, Amartya displays a musical dexterity and level of musicianship that is far beyond his years. Remarkable to say the least and a tribute to how he has embraced his burgeoning career and craft.
