Notes On Chai

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 explores the inner and outer landscape of urban life through everyday conversations. The humour created through these details carries within it desires, fears and insecurities of the mundane that remain unsaid and yet palpable.

The attempt is to create, through a series of portrayals, a collective sense of the everyday, which resonates with a universal sense of the ordinary across cultures and hopefully across different socio-economic strata. The abstract sound explorations in the piece are inspired from Tibetan throat singing , western overtones and extended vocal techniques.
