There is a school of musicians that would say kampit is a defect in
the voice. A long note rendered in vibrato because uniform sur and
intensity cannot be sustained indicates a defect in the voice and
should not be treated as an alankar.
A kampit has also been defined as two or more short gamaks on one
swar. It is like hammering a note from an adjacent note in quick
succession that gives it a vibrato effect.
As examples we have the following:
|
Shruti Sadolikar sings two gamaks per swar
and also mixes three or four gamaks. |
 |
|
On the sarode, a note is first repeated very
fast and straight without gamak and immediately followed by a
series of gamaks on the same note. |
