    • In Favor of: Digident Solutions July 2, 2009

    • Against: Digital Juice June 28, 2009
      The Juicer software is some of the worst software I have ever used. A simple file for a composite that should take a minute to copy off the disc takes 30 minutes to render and ends up being 5 times larger than the original. New product has thousands of project files and source animation but all proprietary format. Takes up twice the space and render time an […]

    • In Favor of: Avenir Technology June 24, 2009
      I'm surprised by all the negative energy here! To me the organization is the most rewarding yet but of course I can't discredit other people's experiences. For me it was a very positive and pleasant learning experience. I'm going to miss everyone at Avenir so much!
    • In Favor of: Ticketmaster June 22, 2009
      I use to work for ticket master customer service, Ticket Master doesnt charge 50% more per order, They charge very little actually for the service they provide. If I remember right usually $2.30 cents per order. NOW what most dont grasp is Ticket Master HAS to charge extra for certain places, but thats because the place your attending the show charges that, […]

See What’s here

Tabla and Guitar Tablature seem to belong to same family. I’m not sure, but it’s my assumption. The later one is a bit technical, as it’s a form of musical notation, so complex for me to understand. The former one is also not that less technical as it needs years of experience and a deep deep devotion to play, but I do know about it, i.e. at least I know Zakir Hussain! And a little I read about it on Wikipedia says, “The playing technique for both drums [tables] involves extensive use of the fingers and palms in various configurations to create a wide variety of different types of sounds. The tabla is considered difficult to play because of the range of sounds that may be played. A small mistake in the placement of the fingers will result in a changed tone.” And, that’s why so many fanes Zakir Hussain has!

Well, it’s very strange that m’ writing about such things today with no planning. But it was just a thought while listening to the music for long today. I don’t know what’s it, but there’s a soothing effect in this instrument, so was trying to figure out, what’s that. I, however, couldn’t find any such till yet…… but it has something that lets it stand at top even after the invention modern musical instrument!

  1. I have been a big fan of tabla for ever. Zakir Hussain’s dad was a better player than him in my opinion and Ustad Tari Khan(Pakistan) and his guru Ustad Shuakat Hussain are also second to none.
