Time : 6:30 pm
Event Details : 'Making of Benares Tabla' Illustrated lecture by Mr. Peter Allen Roda, AIIS Junior Fellow from the Department of Music, New York University.
An exploration of the materials involved in tabla making, the network of craftsmen whose hands they pass through, their effect on the final product and the artistry through which they are rendered into their final form, the lecture explores sonic capacity as a commodity which is scripted onto objects and exchanged in the form of a musical instrument. In short, customers do not shop for drums, but for the sounds those drums are capable of making. Subsequently, getting “the right sound” is negotiated through performances of players and makers on the workshop stage and variations in hands and ears play an important role in that negotiation
Collaboration : American Institute of Indian Studies
