salvation, tabla http://lounge.espdisk.com/archives/1044 (best) http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/salvation0.mp3 (solo tabla) http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/salvation1.mp3 (solo tabla) tabla bought at the local salvation army; azure saw the banya on a shelf with glassware, so we bought it as a 'bongo.' then we asked and the managers found the tabla (smaller drum) in the back room. we asked about the tabla rings and came back today, and there they were. now we're waiting for the hammer. the total cost has been around $51 which is very cheap for a really good set. here are two recordings. because of my nails (among other things), i can't play traditionally, but i can make my own music and here it sounds quite beautiful i think; i hadn't heard these sounds quite before. processed through audacity where the volume was adjusted and reverb was added. again and against the appearance and disappearance of forms, entangled structures, silence. unlike some of my other music, i can listen to these repeatedly; give them a chance at least once -
