In India, the connection between the universe and sound has long been recognised and is emphasised in Dhrupad singing, the oldest known style of classical Hindustani music. Italian-born singer Amelia Cuni was so fascinated by this concept that she travelled to India in 1978 to learn the technique herself, studying with renowned masters for ten years.
Through the purity of sound, both performers and listeners are meant to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the nature of existence. 77 minutes with Amelia Cuni, Charlemagne Palestine, Eleh, Uli Hohmann and Werner Durand.
Traditional instruments and music – twisted by electronic musicians, composers, improvisers and rockers. 56 minutes with The 13th Tribe, Don Cherry, Harry Hosono and the Yellow Magic Band, Sun City Girls and others.
