for me it's a yeah so to me thing music can read so great with the sounds from there only as a way that before he experiences i mean. i. really do talk i feel so inspired here it's a foreign country and a foreign culture and the music is unfamiliar but it's still inspiring and fun to delve into shah saw and if you do so and so told it's so different it's my whole musical world has been turned upside down. i. here in mumbai young musicians from india and germany have come together for a very special occasion they're preparing for a joint concert at the beethoven festival in bonn. the

so. i think it feels great to have an exchange with the germans the musicians don't win percussionists. i. can compose a bellhop chippies bagger is running a workshop in mumbai 5 young german musicians are here to get a feel for indian music she will present what they learnt at a special concert in barga i thought oh no i get it i didn't count the comma. key elements of indian music include rhythmic clapping and the vocal percussion arts known as corner chord it's a challenge to learn to squeak disc sikorsky it's a large scale project and the ticket for switch. and to bring these cultures

together in a concert format from others of course the workshop is part of the project but what comes out of it should be more than just a workshop presentation that's one. thing but previously known as bombay is a metropolis of 20000000 people on india's western coast a city full of contrasts it's a lounge and demanding a financial holiday and the epicenter of the bollywood industry. was here it was just my style i have 3 of them here at 1st it seems just like white noise but it's so exciting this was soundscape with the traffic the people the language is also interesting to find. the german guests spend their 2nd day touring the city and exploring this mysterious unfamiliar world. you're going to but i'm so impressed by the diversity the different architectural

styles the different smells and. there's something new in each turn of the as a composer you don't know where to look 1st or where you're allowed to. go it's quite overwhelming but in a positive way. rich and poor side by side. rundown neighborhoods next to not sure is high rises. visit to a hindu temple it's their 1st encounter with india's religious music. as evening falls on wind with some fresh coconut milk. while they're excited to meet the indian counterparts. and amongst the top the musician and teacher you think of

it also i think the exchange with our s.g. and his students will be an exciting and completely new experience that's going small is that what i'm looking forward to the most is that in the cultural exchange we will teach them something they'll teach us something i expected to be very inspiring. the next day the indian percussion all song bill arrives 3 tabla players and 2 dances in indian dancers are considered musicians their instruments or their feet which they used to produce complex rhythms it's known as custom. just. stuff. they wear up to $150.00 barrels on each ankle. of. the indian tabla drums on like small cattle drums covered with gait skin they produce a haunting sound. in. the indian

musicians are well versed in the complex clapping and spoken cannot call the rhythms up. and the germans they seem to be picking it up quite well. these are traditional indian songs that can help should perspire has arranged for tabla katak don't sing and western percussion instruments. indian music involves a lot of improvisation it doesn't really have written a change melodies and rhythms are passed on from teachers to their students it's a rich tradition. in the tabla concert it's like those.

and the audience has their hands in the air because they're celebrating the music it's all in spanish you have for lay. it's. emissions. you can this is the music of the people. alongside the topless and the. drum set. and the set of chimes. there. to create a productive dialogue between traditional indian and european music not such a mission impossible. both sides are curious about each other's music and instruments but

a lot of people there. like to go back and look and speak and when you board 4 of them to do it i'm so different to me like you just one. and then you get the 2nd one they can like put in it like this and give the 2nd one got me i knew they were going to do it all throughout you know you put it under the yeah yeah and then you turned around.

after the workshop they all enjoy it well and we'll music brought them together but they'll leave with so many more impressions. tomorrow they're expecting a very special visit from the guru band heart 1st met when he was 16 then he then went on to study with him for 3 years which. somehow became cut off from want me to know i'm not him and he had his radiance around him and it was the 1st time i'd met a real master someone who doesn't just know how things should. but who also embodied it. is a difficult and the century old tradition behind it he always said. if you insist

then you will be able to do this and do it this and this and this especially so we end it was like going through a big gate with the promise that there's a whole world waiting behind it that would enrich you. but that. he seen 70 year old sudesh tell by account the master of the guru you know she went down how did leaving. his message result chappie and the question like which could of course all belong together. forever the. pace is picking up the guru is a demanding teacher the indian musicians still have an advantage but the germans are catching up.

aside from learning new rhythms they're also learning the philosophy behind this music. written we. don't have to believe music we put it give it beautiful. we're going to music. that ultimately comes from you have a heart. david this. movie the knowledge is also there with the picaninny also but. it comes through you have a heart of. 1111 . 1. she you know. i think it will be.

going to corliss like a spoken language and it's quickly becoming the musician's shared way of communicating. their. work. europeans really become immersed in these complex indian systems of sound and rhythm it's a question so rushed out why a crowd has been asking for years. when. i thought this i was lucky they could experiment could i a western musician who plays drums but not tabla learn the system up to speed this is and then write my own musical traditions to the instrument of the secret in the agony that it will be called.

the. rest is really a pioneer of indian music and musicians call him ocean of rhythm and in a way he's very traditional at the top of the tetons traditional teaching he believes in the guru shishya system of teachers and disciples that's been in india family in this it keeps that topped up to teachers and his disciple now it's each of himself the perfect bridge between the 2 cultures to talk. to joe's here with more. empowerment so. what would be with god be. your mo ma lives in something big but. it's a crash course for the german percussionist a lot of new information and background in a short space of time. but just one thing. it's a rich g. has had a big impact on their playing. the

german percussionist have come to this musical instrument shop to learn about the tabla the famous indian drum with a remarkable sound range i think yeah yeah that put in for that they got high pitch that. this typical circular black eye on top is known as a shiny it's made from a dried hard paste and it determines the tone and pitch of the time it's just stuff. that's. going to go the tension has to be adjusted precisely using the wooden sections between the body and the straps.

it's day 4 of the workshop and just the 2nd day with the guru but he's already won everyone over. there for the very very very very i think that. this is. although there aren't any written notes numbers and letters can help people learn this plenty of space to improvise within certain strict rules. a guest has come to visit virtuous or flute player blackish child us here he has been hard to composing in peace commission. by george event that these musicians were for the 1st time at the beethoven festival. well for me it's

a review richard because i've not done this before means in this 1st thing working with 33 but if i leave or 40 because of orchestra so it's a big thing for me and i'm open to do any kind of experiment in music because. music needs to be expanding day by day you. may have to mend some lost and they're all giving their best on the long stay of the workshop in india everything has to run smoothly the next time he meets will be in poland in a few months shortly before the concert i. kept it was. they are going to open from there if the crew definitely has a very rapid teaching pace it's really hard for us to keep up sometimes. to

challenge the ones i was like this a lot of fun and we've been learning so much because you feel. the. same. and in the indian musicians have learned not to. be. the usual thing. be me these are not new but i think the thing they're cultured and. a blended and they behave differently often. difficult i don't think there was any that anything difficult it was a small joining and really had a great experience and i'm going to these 3 ideas that the n.c.p. have photo for the long and. the next day that well should.

5 months later on a late summer's day by the river rhine the indian musicians arrived in bonn a few days ago. to dish into their daily rehearsals they want to experience the country everyone has stayed in touch since the workshop in mumbai. i think it's a very healthy mix like a family and we share this love of music regardless of which continent or from continents. and of a i think we musicians meet friendships blossom straight away to get along the fence and it says it will. be rehearsing for 5 days down how to interact has a name to a piece commission for the beethoven festival she's met. our guest what is a beautiful composition we have that. i would say the highlight of this month that is. it kind of early was it out

just because the puzzle piece is great it's so intriguing the way these 2 worlds now together so perfectly. this month is has been a very special piece to all of us and it's the 1st time that we're performing at the beethoven festival so curious excited and looking forward to. the final rehearsal before their debut performance there are several other pieces written in mumbai that will be on the program tonight as well. as all was there are some last minute changes. i want everything goes one octave higher from 46 on the one octave higher. now they're also being accompanied by a symphony orchestra the german youth orchestra has been rehearsing his net worth. the question asked and iraq has showed us the master of the bun story front for

a week. in the meantime banhart and the rhythm section perfect the school and the sound. it taught you guys have been doing a great job so far of it. all the habits in the we spent the 1st 3 days tuning the orchestra is ok to to now i have to tune the composition a little composites on this one tune in moves but if elected because of the space and the string section is it worth it overstuffed i don't think you can play any quieted doesn't make sense for you to play piano when everyone else is playing for 10 years we just need to thin you out a bit in fact the function of the thank you and the article not once again cannot core becomes the common language to time each instrument and fiddle to bomb bomb bomb as a poke at the uk and for any. computer going on with the best answer some of us off the arms and off the islands. off to because.

it's a premier in every sense of the word there's never been a bunch of an indian bamboo flute you know since any orchestra before. you know they should lend to experimentation the 2 composers are in good company when you fall from them for my class i was a player from the start what would beethoven do you know maybe not indian music but he would certainly try something new. he would do something no one's ever done before something that interests him for he would try to push the boundaries. so if he would have been here he would have loved it but hopefully. the indian music and the west and classical has a very real blend to each other so that i think that's innovation and in the music

because i think it's not happened before a classical john or adding up into a symphony orchestra. has made its evening premier in the bomb congress center will the young musicians be up to the challenge to just one week of rehearsals. this minute means faith and faith is the motto of the 2018 beethoven festival ready ringback. oh. ringback 2 ringback

oh. i. have. if. i.

if. if if if if if if if. if if. if. thanks if you actually accept through musicians and composers in my thank you sundress applause was well descent the young musicians have put on a designation with diddy cation and enthusiasm. if. i if we make it off the ship it is if

a ship has launched into the big wind out we've been working on it for a year now planning it meticulously now we can relax and let go and i feel good about it they feel me quilt well for a musician one citrine appreciated by the audience that's the biggest ever ward what we can achieve in life so and with up laws and with their position i understood that they like the music very much and that's really like dream coming through we feel very blessed and we had a great up watching to be at this age to perform here so that was very good to see if i was it was a great success and we had so much fun i thought you know raptured on stage with room for. well still to video it was wonderful. evening also mocks an impending farewell this one concept less embedded in before they own go their own ways they leave enriched by an entirely new experience and with new
