Around texts and poems of Indian contemporary authors, activists and members of the Hijra community or visiting the Indian tradition of sufi poetry, DrFloy (bass player and electroacoustic composer), and Sumathi (hindustani classical vocals, composer) have developed a musical conversation for the last five years, sharing and experimenting around their musical practices: ragas, electronic compositions, instrument, voice and soundscapes.

SAKHIRI , A MULTIMEDIA CREATION, 2005
In 2005 DR FLOY and SUMATHI worked on SAKHIRI, an electro-acoustic
multimedia performance crossing genders.A musical creation built out of a poetic research exploring gender issues, human rights
andsexual minorities’ rights, making space for our multiple voices; exploring
pain, joy, love and celebrating our lives through multimedia artistic
expression.5 shows of
“Sakhi Ri” were presented at the Alliances françaises of Bangalore, Pune, and
Bombay, India, in March-April 2005. The performance toured along with the
involved artists and participants to the workshops.....
An interaction between
electric, electronic, and traditional music...Electronic treatments, beats,
experimental soundscapes , Hindustani classical alaaps and ragas, sculpting
themes and emotions, and building ,around an intimate fluid relation between
sound compositions and video art, intricate narratives dealing with the
particularity of the hijra context, dissonance and gender de/construction as
well as universal emotions.
The show
includes a live performance of audio and video pieces.....
After
collecting material through various meetings and workshops with members of the
Hijra community (traditional transexual community of India) and gender variants
individuals for the time of a residency in Bangalore, the artists present
different music compositions where live electronics treat and transfigure the
collected sources, testimonies and poems, while poetry is performed and sung,
interacting with video.....
.. ..
How can
experimental soundscapes, treatments and classical vocals deal together?..
How can music,
poetry, and video reveal, attract or repel each other?..
What kind of
meaning or sensations appear through?....
How is gender
constructed by artists, art, music, electronics, visuals, poetry, images, by
people,....
by mainstream
people?....
What about
people who transgress the borders?....
Has Creation to
do with creating one’s own life, one’s own gender?....
What creative
potential lies in being “in the margins”?....

J'adore " go in search for sunrise ", un morceau de 9minutes 30, certain que c'est à contre courant de la manie du clic toutes les 20 secondes, j'adore comme le morceau est construit et grandit peu à peu, en prenant son temps. Que disent les textes ? Et y a t'il un ragga pour le lever du soleil? peace, Junkerry
