Music for the Mind and Soul (June)

I attended Music for the Mind and Soul today at Liverpool Hope University, which showcased Hindustani vocal music and Kathak dance. The dancing by Saberi Misra was particularly impressive - I was particularly intrigued by the coordination and seemingly perfect synchronicity of the rhythmic footwork (using ankle bells) and the tabla playing. The sense of 'obsession' and persistence around a single musical motif/idea are attractive ideas to explore in my upcoming projects.
