Melharmony (www.melharmonymusic.com) is a paradigm-changing approach that explores chords and counterpoints based on melodic progression - in contrast to the conventional approach centered on harmonic progression. It explores new chords & harmonies anchored on the rules and aesthetics of evolved melodic systems such as Indian Classical Music. An invention of Chitravina N Ravikiran (www.ravikiranmusic.com), this advanced approach to inter-genre music global collaborations is steadily shaping the present and future of fusion in world music.

Melharmony has introduced over 100 new scales and modes (Ragas) to the West through original orchestral compositions and arrangements of the works of master Indian Classical composers like Tyagaraja, Dikshitar, Shyama Shastri, Arunagirinather, Purandara Dasa, Oottukkadu Venkata Kavi and Swati Tirunal. Twin Composer Melharmony Festivals of the Melharmony Foundation, a non-profit in USA have showcased these alongside works of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Haydn, Gustav Holst, Mendelssohn and others in several cities in USA, UK, Germany, Switzerland, Canada and India.

Professional orchestras like BBC Philharmonic & Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra (WCO) as well as student orchestras in School Districts including Madison, Middleton, Oregon, Sun Prairie, Minneapolis/Wayzata, Houston, Round Rock/Austin as well as student orchestras like Sacramento Youth Symphony & Goettingen Youth Symphony in Germany have presented Melharmony concerts or participated in Melharmony residencies and workshops. Melharmony Jazz, Rock and World Music concerts with artists like Glen Velez, Simon Phillips, Jordan Rudess, Loire Cotler, George Brooks, Trichy Sankaran and others have also won critical and popular acclaim.
