“Separation starts from birth and is integral to life. At times we do not even realise it, until reminded, at times abruptly transforms our life entirely. The awareness of the emotional experience associated with the separation is as well an awareness of one’s own self. In reality it is not an easy proposition to be aware of one’s self or even one’s emotion as it calls to be in the present.
Sound being a function of time has the tendency to draw the listener’s attention to the present. By its very nature, attention requires constant development. That means we are talking of movement, which is simultaneously in time (absolute time) and oblique to it.
Perhaps the best way to understand this is through an alap in Dhrupad. In which the musician takes us through a tonal narrative which forms the emotional expression of the raga, expressed by the particular musician. That is to explore the tonal development with the musician is a key factor in learning how sound becomes integral to the emotional movement in a narrative”
The 2 days session with Ustad Bahauddin Dagar and Madhu Apsara will explore sound, in the sense, how certain tones of sound as they develop, they develop along with certain emotions in us.
