for me it's like yeah it's such a different music and with great resistance from them as. those 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. basra and if you do so and so told it's so different my whole musical world has been turned upside down. i. hear in mumbai young musicians from india and germany have come together for a very special occasion they're preparing for a joint concert the debate over the festival in bonn. the

south. i think it feels great to have an exchange with the germans musicians don't percussionist. i. austrian composer bellhop chimpy spouter is running a workshop in mumbai 5 young german musicians are here to get a feel for indian music they'll present what they learned at a special concert in bonn i checked it out it's like 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 support your disc sikorsky it's an ox count project and it's big for switching. 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 of course and that's what. previously known as bombay is a metropolis of $20000000.00 people on india's western coast a city full of contrasts it's a large and demanding a financial hub and the epicenter of the bollywood industry. this year was just my there's a lot of freedom here at 1st it seems just like white noise but it's so exciting this whole soundscape 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 find i'm so impressed by the diversity the different architectural

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

also i think the exchange with cheney and his students will be an exciting and completely new experience has been 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 a very inspiring one move over. 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 cluster. just some 6. stylists say where up to $150.00 bells on each ankle. of. the indian tabla drums are like small kettle drums covered with kate skin they produce a haunting sound. in. the indian

musicians are well versed in the complex clapping unspoken cannot call rhythms up. and the germans don't seem to be picking it up quite well. these are traditional indian song was a townhouse has arranged for tabla cuttack don't sing and western percussion instruments. indian music involves a lot of improvisation so it doesn't really have written a change melodies and rhythms are passed on from teachers to their students it's a rich tradition. tabla concert is like those.

and the audience has their hands in the air because they're celebrating the music it's all in spanish you have. initially. you can really tell the music of the people. and the. drum set. and deceptive chimes. to create a productive dialogue between traditional indian and european music. mission impossible. both sides are curious about each other's music and instruments but. they're.

like about to go back and look and speak and what you'll do for 4 of them and do it different to me like you just got one. and then you get the 2nd one taken like punishment like this and you're the 2nd one but when you're in news you know you're good looking out you know you put it under the one you know and then you turn it 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 banhart 1st met when he was 16 that he then went on to study with him for 3 years. somehow became cut off from the army to often not seen many 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 didn't speak. any better i. can see 70 year old sudesh tell by account the master of the guru you know he went down how did leading the show. his message result clapping and the question language could of course all belong together. rather than. the pace is picking up the guru is a demanding teacher the indian musician 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. down to live music we put it with. we're going to music. i don't mean to be comes from you how. they did this i. live in the valley also they would be taken in also what. they're doing. it comes through you have a hard. 11. 11. 11 well. thank you. she you know. i think it will be good.

but. paul is like a spoken language and it's quickly becoming the new zisha and shared way of communicating. europeans really become immersed in these complex indian systems of sound and rhythm it's a question so rushed i was trying to has been asking for years. when i thought this i was like a take experiment could i a western musician who plays drums but not tabla than a sister not dispute this and then bring my own musical traditions to be instrument of that in the agony that it's one and been called.

to. the rest she is really a pioneer of indian music musicians call him ocean of rhythm and in a way he's very traditional at the top of it he does traditional teaching he believes in the guru shishya system of teachers and disciples that's been in india from a lineage in the knesset keep that topped up but the teacher said his disciple now would change to himself the perfect bridge between 2 cultures to talk. to joe's beards more. important shift what would be with god the. human knowledge is something big. 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 day. 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 shall arrange the day yeah that put in for the think i picked up. this typical circular black eye on top is known as a shiny it's made from a dried paste and it determines the tone and pitch of the tablets. still so. it's going to get attention has to be adjusted precisely using the wooden sections between the body and the straps.

sit. down the last 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. good. this. week 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 and banhart are composing a piece commission. by george event that these musicians were for the 1st time at

the beethoven festival. for me it's a. winter because i've not done this before means in this for the 1st thing working with 3335 or 40 years 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. they have to find some last and they're all giving their best on the most day of the workshop you needn't hear everything has to run smoothly the next time they meet will be in pawn in a few months shortly before the concert i found. out that i think. 5 they are going to be out of the current definitely has a very rapid teaching pace it's really hard for us to keep up sometimes. the

challenge but it's a lot of fun and we've been learning so much because it will feel. the. same. in the indian musicians have learned not to. see. the usual thing. and the food isn't all new but i think. their culture and culture to blend it and they behave differently is often. difficult i don't think there was any of that anything difficult it was a small to join in and really had a great experience and i'm going to these 3 beers at the n.c.p. a photo for the long and. the next day that well should. by.

5 months later on a late summer's day by the river rhine the indian musicians arrived in going a few days ago. in addition to 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 of like a family and we share this love of music regardless of which continent or from continents. never i think we musicians meet friendships blossom straight away to get along since it's. been rehearsing for 5 days pam how to interact have a name to have peace commission for the beethoven festival she's. our guest what is a beautiful composition we have that. i would say the highlight of this month that is the field most of all that is to join us here it's kind of early was that i

don't blame you just because the puzzle piece is great it's so intriguing the way these 2 worlds melt together so perfect. his mother 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. than now they're also being accompanied by a symphony orchestra the german youth orchestra has been rehearsing she's met with the. kushal mist and rock has showed us master of the bun sori flute 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. we spent the 1st 3 days tuning the orchestra is ok that's $1.00 to $2.00 now i have to tune the composition a little composites on the same tune and was very effective quantas on the cost of the space and the string section were a bit over staffed 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 has to thank you. once again core becomes the common language to time each instrument and fiddles in. as a poked at the arc and for any. piece to 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 an indian. in a symphony orchestra before. 2 you know the nation and experimentation to chill composers are in good company in the fall when i'm from my class i was a player from the start what would beethoven do 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 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 in a wish and then in the music because i think it's not happened before the classical

john are adding up and to 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. the summit means faith and faith is the motto of the 2018 beethoven festival.

if.

if if if if if if if if if if. if. if. thanks if you actually accept through musicians and composers are not thank you sundress applause was will just send the young musicians have put on a designation with diddy cation and enthusiasm. if. i if we make it off the ship like it is if

a ship is launched into the big wind about 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 the quilt well for a musician move once it's been appreciated by the audience that's the biggest edwarda what we can achieve in life so and with up laws and with their position i understood that they liked 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 will say it was a great success and we had so much fun i thought you know raptured on stage with room for. well still for video it was wonderful. evening also mocks an impending farewell this one concert left in berlin before they all go their own way as they leave enriched by an entirely new experience and with new
