about

Theme : Frogs & toads
Style : Virtual Tabla
Concrete instruments : Toads & frogs
Real/regular instruments : Tabla
Other sounds : Drums samples
Years : 2007-2008, Paris (Tabla recorded in summer 2007).
An early demo version was done in Yangon late 2005.

The basic concept of this piece is to have these three instruments playing the same tabla patterns at the same time : FROG + TABLA + DRUMS

I call 'VIRTUAL TABLA" a tabla composition performed by non-tabla sounds.
There are of two types : edited with the mouse or performed with fingers pads and I did both :

On this album version the frogs and drums samples were visually synchronized to my tabla takes. However the live version was performed with my fingers launching simultaneously several samples (the 3 instruments).

TOADSTOOLS is a Kaida in Jhaptaal (10 beat divided as 2-3-2-3)

For people interested in tabla here is the composition (traditional)
