Victor’s vocal brilliance

Victor’s soothing voice can be compared to a Sitar voluntarily responding to the softest touch of a breeze.  Victor’s ultra-sensitive melodious voice exposes his mellow spirit. Amaradeva and Victor both share an unparalleled admiration amongst singers with most distinct identities in Sinhala history. Amaradeva transforms into a trance when performing. Victor lacks Amaradeva’s hand animations and transcending nature in his performances. When performing, Victor reaches an Indian Harmonium or another musical instrument with the discipline of the clergy in reverence to a deity. Victor shrinks his whole spirit into the performance and portrays a symbolic image of quintessential sentiment of eastern music.  Victor engages in his trance to the end of a performance while using his songs as purification ritual to relieve the most subtle emotions of the human sentiment.
According to Victor, song is a subtle visual performance solely backed by voice. His maneuvering of lyrics, the way he lifts their emotions, liveliness he breath into those words together forming a mesmerizing listening experience for audiences, can be quite amazing.
With an exceptional ability to excel any musical style including performing, conducting, singing, composing, arranging, and orchestration of music, Victor Ratnayake qualifies for the textbook definition of the word “Musician”.
