RUBATO:  Many people have asked me, "What is rubato?"....................................................................................................................................................                      Much of my music uses rubato which is an expressive way of interpreting music by varying from a strict rhythm or tempo by                             slowing down, or speeding up...or by lingering on or shortening a note(s) to convey a particular emotion, feeling or                                   within a musical phrase.

MY MUSIC ....................... written in a  poetic, picturesque, very melodic, lyrical freeform style with rich harmonies, is contemplative in nature.   My music has been influenced by classical composers of the Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Impressionistic Periods, including their fondness for adapting the folk music of many peoples into their classical writing....and by the harmonies found in jazz.  For me, music is a way of telling about/contemplating life's journey, of seeking and learning... always with a sense of hope...the wondrous joy and beauty all around us...of all humanity.                                                                                                                                               One of my favorite activities is spending time in nature quietly listening to the conversation of the wind through the trees, birds singing, the murmur of a flowing river surrounded by the serenity of green trees/leaves/and grass, sprinkled with the many colours of flowers spreading their wonderful perfume in the air, the clouds above, the warmth of the sun, the refreshing rain.....the peace.........................................  J. Bhuyan                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Picturedat                  Pictured at  Immersive Studios, Boulder, Colorado....................            (Photo by Joe Shepard)                                                                                                                         www.immersivestudios.com                                                                                                                              www.immersivestudios.com
