This year was my wife’s maiden voyage in the world of music education–she’s teaching music at a catholic school. Part of what she does is introduce the kids to various musics of the world. When she got to the Indian sub-continent, for fun (I hope) she asked if she could play an old electronic music piece of mine, a collaboration with an Indian choreographer, Anjali Tata (since married). I guess it was a hit with the kids.
Originally we were both going to perform these Indian rhythms on the recording, but what it turned into was a comedic piece about my learning to perform these rhythms.
