Discovery (TABLIX)

Gurpreet Chana :: TABLIX

Gurpreet Chana, also known as “The Tabla Guy,” presents TABLIX: A groundbreaking integration of tabla and technology.  
 
The result of 7 years of meticulous research and development, TABLIX explores technology’s impact on the untapped melodic potential of the tabla. Firmly rooted in the deep histories of the tabla, TABLIX blends the ergonomics and sounds of a time-honoured tabla tradition with the infinite possibilities of the digital to create a new mode of artistic expression.
 
With TABLIX, Gurpreet harnesses custom software to create nuanced soundscapes, drawing from the tabla’s percussive core to sculpt the melodies that drive his electronic compositions. Live, TABLIX is a captivating immersive experience, a dynamic fusion of tabla with a bold array of musical styles; an experience which must be seen and heard live to be truly appreciated.
 
The TABLIX interface is simultaneously a powerful new tool for artistic collaboration. Chana’s story is punctuated throughout with collaborative projects that span classical, electronic, pop, folk and more. Now, the tabla has evolved to become both rhythmic accompanist and melodic co-conspirator.  The project is philosophically grounded in an egalitarian view of the creative process.  Gurpreet’s experiences as a second generation South Asian immigrant in Canada are musically lush;` characterised by interactions with every type of musician.  Preempting concepts like “fusion” and “world music,” this environment has instilled an openness that echoes clearly throughout his frank exploration of technology with TABLIX.
 
TABLIX is your invitation to experience and communicate with contemporary music culture and explore the melodic potential of the tabla as algo-rhythms blend seamlessly.
