Ants Ate My Silkworms (1:49, IL2)
HS: Even though Mahoozie Manor turned out to be quite soundproof, to keep good karma with the neighbors Greg and I limited our after-dark playing to acoustic instruments. Along with my drumkit I brought my tabla and kalimba, and Greg brought an assortment of instruments including acoustic guitars, dulcimer, recorders and percussion. This is a short duet featuring tabla and dulcimer, which seem to sonically compliment each other well. I set-up a basic rhythmic motif that Greg plays on top of.
GS: One of the goals of these sessions was to bring in new sounds and new ideas. Part of this was that we wanted to do some acoustic pieces. (This also extended our possible hours for recording, which made me happy.) One of the influences for the whole Jugalbandi concept was tabla/sitar duets. I don’t own a sitar (yet), but there was no reason not to try it with other instruments- that’s what we’ve done all along anyway! In this case we were halfway there, and we both thought the dulcimer’s tone worked well with the tabla.
