Description
The mrdangam, a percussion instrument integral to the Karnatik stage, has a surprisingly recent history. T.M. Krishna delves into its evolution and uncovers the stories of those who craft it. The making process is both intellectually and aesthetically demanding, requiring a highly nuanced operation at every stage. From sourcing materials to ensuring the perfect tone, the mrdangam makers' skill is often overlooked. This book sheds light on the lives and traditions of these artists, revealing a more organic understanding of the music they create. By exploring the world of mrdangam makers, Sebastian & Sons offers a unique insight into the art form, one that acknowledges the value of their contributions to the instrument's sound and timbre.
