SUBLIME FREQUENCIES
Various Artists - Indian Talking Machine Part Two: Instrumental Gems From The 78RPM Era Various Artists
Pickup currently unavailable at Dawson Street
This double LP of instrumental Hindustani, Carnatic and folk 78rpm shellac records from India comes with a full color 12-page insert of gramophone record
ephemera, shops, labels, manufacturing details and graphics.
The LPs feature over 25 artists recorded between 1904 and 1959 playing a panoply of
instruments: jalatarang, dilruba, sarod, clarionet, pakhawaj, violin, been, kazoo, shehnai, tabla, sarangi, sitar, vina and more.
Artists include Imdad Khan (the first sitarist ever recorded), Ahmedjan Thirkhawa, Bundu Khan, Amir Hussain, Allauddin Khan (who taught Ravi Shankar), and
others both forgotten and revered.
The Indian classical instrumental tradition is one of incredible proficiency and expressiveness using instruments and techniques created over generations
that seem to perfectly and uniquely compliment Indian culture, landscape and tradition.
Sympathetic strings resonate inside sitars and sarangis to manifest
shimmering reverberant spiritual spaces; horns, reeds and flutes extend the range, volume and melodic inventiveness of the voice; a mind-boggling array of
elaborately turned percussion instruments allow for rhythms as complex or as simple as the flowing Ganges river.
Classical music in India was perhaps at its
height during the 78rpm period as the Raj era was ending and the world was globalizing.
2-LP gatefold with 12 page full-color booklet insert - features never reissued recordings and is the long-anticipated follow up to the Indian Talking Machine
book/CD (Sublime Frequencies 099), which was also produced by Robert Millis from his collection of 78rpm records and ephemera
