Excerpt from Rajesh Mehta’s solo concert 28. April 2009

This is an audio excerpt from the solo interpretation of Mehta’s music-artwork “Songlines ‘ Jewels: Bhakti ” which he performed while navigating throughout the exceptionally reverberant acoustics ( 4-5 seconds echo ) of the Norwegian industrial butter manufacturing plant. This music-artwork is featured in the new book “Notations 21″ and prints are available for sale on this site.

This solo was performed on slide trumpet with an Indian sruti box (electronic drone machine) and was the Prelude to his open lecture “sounding buildings:unfolding frames” for the Akademie’s faculty and students.

Please watch another interpretation of songlines ‘ jewels:bhakti by Trio ORKA-M (Rajesh Mehta: hybrid and slide trumpets, Rohan de Saram: cello, Jayachandra Rao: mrdangam, south indian percussion) at the Festival Rümlingen, Switzerland, 09.09.2006, below:
