There is a difference in the sound rain makes when it hits stone, water or a leaf. In a city where noise is a permanent accompaniment in the background of daily life, these little sounds can hardly be noticed. But Rishiraj Kulkarni has spent close to a decade seeking out such sounds, recording them and finding the right instruments to play them. This weekend, he will bring a compilation of this music to Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum as part of his India tour, Khoya Main.
The choice of the venue is a conscious one. “I play in only three types of venues — natural spaces, open buildings with a lot of natural light, and heritage structures that are over 100-years-old,” he shares. Kulkarni’s performance will seek to tap into the delicacy of natural sounds through a medley of instrumental and recordings. “The simple sound of rubbing your two fingers together can only be heard if the environment around you is conducive. The venue plays an important role,” he explains.
