Sonic Negotiations: Notes in Practice
Curated by Tejaswini Niranjana
Under the 2018-19 activities for the Saath-Saath Music project which brings together musicians and scholars from India, Hong Kong and China, Hanart Gallery will host an afternoon session to explore the question of ‘practice’ (riyaaz in Hindi) which is common to all musical traditions.
Collaborators Tejaswini Niranjana寧蒂珠(Hindustani vocal), Chow Yiu-Fai周耀輝(Cantopop lyricist), Ip Kimho葉劍豪(yanqing) and Joyce Tang鄧慧中(composer) will demonstrate their ‘practice’, followed by a joint reflection and dialogue on the significance of practice for each kind of performance.
Saath-Saath Music is supported by the Moonchu Foundation, and Knowledge Transfer Project Fund, Lingnan University, Hong Kong.

In 2017, Cantopop lyricist, scholar and artist Chow Yiu-Fai's famous song 'Let us play/When the new century comes' (sung by Anthony Wong) was adapted to Hindustani styles by Bindhumalini, Omkar and Rutuja. Now Chow sets new lyrics to tunes sent to him by his Indian collaborators. Additional collaborations with Zhang Yi (on pipa) and Ip Kimho (on yangqin) explore new questions of meaning, tone and improvisation.
