This is my entry for kvr audio June contest.

We have been asked to "bang the drum all day long " without the accompaniment of any Piano,bowed and plucked instruments . Pure bang bang. Evil

I took this as an opportunity to introduce a rare Indian musical instrument called Jala Tarang.

Jala means water and Tarang means ripples. These are cups filled with water in varying measures. Sticks are used to extract the musical patterns accompanied by the Tabla (Indian Drums). I am giving here an example from you tube for those interested in knowing how a professional does it. Mine is pure savagery compared to the real musicians performance. But I am here for fun. The you tube url is :

Very interesting ! Sounds good

And you just gave me a new sample project idea, sampling tuned wine glasses, of course I would fill them with wine, not with water....

It seems all geniuses think the same way 

This is what my friend Max El Belga wrote at KVR. (It is possible that you already know him and his black humour)

"Shrikant, the trick of a professional Jala Tarang player is : they put alcohol instead of water in the bowl a drink of it to tune them.So no wonder they're really warmed up once the tuning is done and therefore they seem to play better ! Cool ...   :lol: "


I am glad Kara, that my piece evoked such happy responses.

Go on. Get tipsy and make some heady music. Grin

All The Best

Thanks Mario D,

Your appreciation helps me tremendously in my working. As a novice I look forward to the valuable
comments/views/reviews  of the professionals like you and others over here and at KVR.

Thanks once again.  Grin
