about

Part of a series exploring the inner world of strings. Guest musicians improvise to a track based around the classical Indian drone instrument, the Tanpura. Each brings their own personality and narrative to the mix - the same sculpture viewed from radically different angles...

Jason Kalidas - bansuri
Michael Oliva - electronics

Jason is improvising in the Hindustani style of Indian Classical music (from North India). Towards the end of this track the harmony is enhanced with ideas from three of the great 20th Century love poems in European music, all of which happen to be pioneering works of electronics - the sixth movement of Messiaen's 'Turangalîla-Symphonie' (Jardin du sommeil d’amour), Stockhausen's 'Stimmung', and Berberian/Berio's 'Visage'.
Many thanks also to Dave Pape for his extraordinary field recording from the Tiger Hill Temple in Darjeeling, India, available at freesound.org
