The first little noodle I made when I got Logic for the first time a long time ago.  Originally I made a bunch of guitar samples and used those (using Kontakt) for this but I lost the samples and broke the patch when I moved to New York.  Eh.  These sounds that come with Logic are better anyway.

The only known recording of me playing tabla solo.

It's a tape recording from a recital I gave at the end of my 3rd year at CalArts, in the Gamelan Room. I'm accompanied by John Bergamo's drum machine playing a standard tabla solo accompaniment melody that keeps time for the soloist, called a lehara or nagma. I take it at a really conservative tempo, and even so I'm playing quite loose, which is, I guess, a good thing, except for the obvious mistakes.

Somewhere there is a photo of me sitting on the floor of my Grandma Fay's living room demonstrating tabla to my baby nephew Zac, surrounded by family, with a wall covered in family photos behind me. I'm wearing a button up shirt and tie, and I have dyed fluorescent yellow hair -- which I dyed to match the walls of the apartment I was living in. On the photo print I wrote in Wite-Out "May 9" to advertise this concert. Wish I could find that funny photo.

Tabla Solo in Tintal, May 9, 2000

On March 2nd, 1996 Rudi put on a concert in his basement. The band he had with Ari, Ben, and Laurence played. Was that Fast Orange? Maybe Max played some records. And I played this. We were kids.

Many of the notes in the violin part are notated as a minor second or major second dyad and the violinist is instructed to play a note anywhere between the written notes. That's why it sounds that way.
