NOTES ON CHAI is a collection of snippets of everyday conversations inter woven with abstract sound explorations that attempt to relocate our relationship with the quotidian. The piece juxtaposes the speech of everyday conversations with segments that use the voice simply as an instrument of sound.
The attempt is to create, through a series of portrayals, a collective sense of the every day, which resonates with a universal sense of the ordinary across cultures and hopefully across different socio-economic strata.
The abstract sound explorations, inspired from Tibetan chanting techniques, Western Harmonics and Extended vocal techniques create different sonic textures.
