Description
Electric Taal Band was a project that came out of the Covid pandemic, a necessity to work alone and some happenstance - I had stumbled on a box of Punjabi records for sale at Bollywood Music Center on Gerrard St East in Little India -- a store where I had been buying hindi film records for years - I wasn't too familiar with Punjabi music beyond UK Bhangra, took a chance and loved the records; over some time I bought every Punjabi record in the store - I studied the records and bought a tumbi from Kala Kendar, a shop next to the music store that sold instruments - I learned the tumbi from Youtube videos and copying the sounds on the records.
Over time I acquired both a vintage Radel Talometer and electronic Tanpura locally via classifieds and experimented with integrating their sounds into the recordings as well. The basic idea was to take these machines designed for practice, which had their own incredible sound due to technological limitations and apply them to Indian music. Everything I had heard of these machines in recordings and videos only used them in an abstract electronic context. The main intent was and still is to use these sounds in collaboration with South Asian musicians and vocalists in the Toronto area, but this album came from both casual exploration and experimentation with the tools, as well as an inability to collaborate in-person due to pandemic restrictions at the time. -
