Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin December 2008 Acknowledgements I would like to briefly thank a few individuals for making this project possible. The first are my parents, Tom and Kay Grimes, who have supported me emotionally and, as necessary, financially through the dissertation writing process (and earlier, as well). Next, I would like to thank my mentor and dissertation supervisor Dr. Stephen M. Slawek. All that I know of Indian music (even the things he didn’t teach me directly) is due to him, both as my academic adviser and as my long-time sitar Guru. Especially crucial for the current project, though, has been his unwavering moral and intellectual support. Dr. Slawek encouraged me from day one to pursue the work I wanted to pursue, and I cannot be more grateful for this. All of his advisees that he has shepherded through the process of writing a report or dissertation, I am sure, would say the same.

    Ravi and Anoushka Shankar, sitar Friday, September 19, 8 pm, 2003 Zellerbach Hall with Tanmoy Bose and Arup Chattopadhyay, tabla Tonight’s program will be announced from the stage. Ravi and Anoushka Shankar record for Angel/EMI. ICM Artists, Ltd., New York City Lee Lamont, chairman emeritus; David V. Foster, president and CEO This performance has been made possible, in part, by the Friends of Cal Performances. Cal Performances thanks the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the Zellerbach Family Foundation for their generous support. Cal Performances receives additional funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency that supports the visual, literary, and performing arts to benefit all Americans, and the California Arts Council, a state agency. Ravi Shankar (sitar), the legendary virtuoso sitarist, composer, teacher, and writer, is renowned throughout the world for his pioneering work in bringing Indian music to the West. He has been a cultural influence in the West for more than three decades as India’s most recognized and esteemed musical ambassador. The youngest son in a Bengali family, he was born in 1920 in Varansi (Benares), the holiest of Indian cities. At the age of 10, he accompanied his elder brother with his company of dancers and musicians to Paris, where he attended school. He spent several years in the West absorbing different kinds of music, but returned to India in 1938 to begin his career. Shankar combined his concert performances with his work for All India Radio (1949–56), where he established the National Chamber Orchestra. As word of his virtuosity spread throughout India—and then Europe, Asia, and the United States—Shankar embarked on one of the most extraordinary careers in the history of contemporary music.

  • The Taal Tantra Experience: Reviews 1)
    THE TAAL TANTRA EXPERIENCE: REVIEWS 1) Folkworld CD Reviews, Folk World Issue 43 11/2010 The Taal Tantra Experience "Sixth Sense" Label: Ozella music; 027; 2010 The Taal tantra experience is a German-Indian band that mixes the Indian traditional music with Western styles, jazz and modern sounds. The album has ten new compositions mixing the best of both worlds. Strong craftsmanship and a good producer makes this a nice, accessible album for a wide audience. Of course there are dozens of other groups who mix Indian roots with modern music, jazz, rock and so on. But this Taal Tantra Experience is doing a great job with exciting combinations in a beautiful atmosphere of sounds. www.ozellamusic.com Eelco Schilder 2) Soulseduction.com sixth sense - the taal tantra experience (CD) [listen now] release date: 1/10/2010 - available to download Transcendental German-Indian Sound Discourse While economists and social researchers argue about the pros and cons of globalization in the wake of the worldwide financial crisis, in music, the exchange and collaborations among the most diverse world music sounds and rhythms continue to flower in the most colorful ways. A current example of one such successful cooperation of different music cultures is the Taal Tantra Experience, which started up in 2001 in the German capital when a group of Berlin jazz musicians first met tabla virtuoso Tanmoy Bose. With Tanmoy Bose, who is touring the world with the greats of classical Indian music Ravi Shankar, Anoushka Shankar, Amjad Ali Khan and who participated on two Grammy winning recordings „Concert for George“ (Eric Clapton) and „Full Circle“, the project really got going, first in Berlin and then on the Indian subcontinent.
