“Music is like glass mirror, it reflects who you are; what you want to say – I understood something and want to talk to you about it today” – Ustad Bahauddin Dagar
Hindustani Classical Music has been fascinating me for quite some time now. My first encounter with it was during the 4th International Time Perspective Conference in Nantes, France back in 2018. Since then I have switched from learning the Turkish flute, kaval, to learning Indian bamboo flute, bansuri, but mostly learning about the whole new universe that is contained inside the Hindustani Classical Music and its theory.
I will be slowly writing up about a few things that I have learned along the way and during my few stays in India in my newsletter on Substack – https://creativetimestudio.substack.com/
My friend and colleague, Nikhil Ghorpadkar, pakhavaj player from Pune, Maharashtra, India, most likely will be in Copenhagen in the first week of June – and we are thinking to organize a little workshop, an introduction to the Hindustani Classical Music, where I would be happy to share what I have discovered so far. Do let me know if you would like to join this workshop – be it in person or online.
