Unreserved

There is music we seek out and listen to, and then there is the music that is simply around us, yet rarely heard. There are melodies, rhythms, simple and complex, aural elements that blur the line between 'just sounds’ and ‘music’. Unreserved is an attempt at bringing these elements to the foreground, and letting the mridangam interact with these soundscapes. The artiste has sampled these sounds in their raw setting, created a digital template and then played the mridangam over it, letting the various elements collide in a beautiful spectrum of chaos, yet with a natural progression that very literally, allows the music to create itself.
