SOUNDS OF NOW: KONNAKOL, DRUM KIT & CODE

Music in the Round presents newly-composed work for Konnakol (vocal percussive music from the South Indian Carnatic tradition), live-coded electronic music and percussion. Common to these disparate traditions is an interest in pattern, texture and complex rhythm, which mridangam and konnakol artist BC Manjunath, live-coder Alex McLean and drummer Matt Davies will explore through a unique and virtuosic live performance.
