Glimpses from the practice room...

Thus far I haven't made good on my intentions to share much of my own musical/practice journey since arriving in Delhi back in February. I chalk this up to a byproduct of relentless perfectionism, and the fact that I only starting playing pakhawaj back in April, but I'm renewing the intention to share more.

Last night, Shashi Kant Pathak (one of my three pakhawaj teachers) arrived in Hauz Khas with a sarangiya named Rajesh, who he works with at Kathak Kendra. It was my first time playing with sarangi, or live lehera accompaniment of any kind for that matter. An incredible experience all around. Allie snapped a few clips from the session so I'll share one here. Low light, grainy quality, all that... Who cares. 

Enjoy!
