One Indian sidereal day of soundscape recordings that play three Tablas with six electronic relays. December 2013. Grater Kailash, New Delhi INDIA.Tabla No.1: Morning Raags, Tabla No.2: Afternoon Raags, Tabla No. 3: Night Raags.

Three pairs of Indian Tablas, a beautiful instrument that I admire but never learned to play. But now, I am playing it, or rather, the daily sounds from New Delhi are playing them. Recordings of soundscapes at different times of the day were conformed into three-day periods, morning ragas, afternoon ragas and night ragas. The sounds travel as a solar clock, and two of the drums are oriented East-West, marking a sidereal day. The recorded soundscapes were frequency shifted towards very low frequencies, converting them into rhythmic patterns. A compass is in the center marking the orientation axes so important in ancient Indian Cosmogony. The sound scopes were recorder in Grater Kailash, the neighborhood where I lived the past 5 days, from my terrace. The drums are played with little electronic devices called relays, converting them into mini percussion instruments.
