Before long we had some really good recording of these thekas. But we sat there are My father would sing songs and I would play a drum machine and note down the BPM for best tempos on each tala. It took over three months to record all the thekas. He needed some tracks to create and practice these compositions so he suggested why don't I record some thekas for this project and also have these available for the students at the Institute. Sitting here in the West, in Santa Cruz, California, away from the buzy buzz of the larger cities where the probablity of finding other good caliber Indian musicians was a bit higher although at that time not by much.Īlso, my father was embarking on a large project encompassing around Carnatic ragas which he had started to practice and compose on. About fifteen years ago, my father, Pandit Shiv Dayal Batish and I were sitting around and discussing how difficult it is to find a good tabla player to practice with.
