when I was studying the cello
when I was 10 year old playing in the
Dutch national Youth Orchestra I would
not have imagined me sitting here
sitting on the floor playing rag pad
deep because that wasn’t what Gaga I
performed how did that happen
I’m still figuring it out
[Music]
as a musician probably there are a few
things that are really really essential
and I would like to share a few of that
I can also talk about the development of
the cello and the technical things but I
think the key question is what makes an
artistic experience what makes us
connect through art through music why
does that happen I’ll start with a small
anecdote this was about 10 years ago and
I performed a duet with my husband
Shubin larell in the small town of my
heart which is in a way for any
musicians it’s a mecca it’s a very very
beautiful place because in that very
small town greats like Ravi Shankar
alpaca Vijay joke a lot of the grades
learned there at the feet of their
Google Baba 11.com when we performed
there at 4:00 in the morning because it
was one of these whole night festivals
after we performed there an old man
walked up to me he was dressed in this
traditional way with his dhoti the loin
cloth around his waist a cat and a white
kurta and he told me who says Saraswati
the goddess of wisdom learning and music
is only Indian it might not think of
course she is not of course she’s from
Africa and Australia and the US and
India because she is the one person the
one entity that connects us all
she is the essence of battles and
artistic experience
if we bring it down to a more practical
thing if we have talked about artistic
experience there are few things really
really important and the first and
foremost is perhaps expectations
we like to
[Music]
fulfill expectations and we like to
break them and the right balance leads
to an artistic experience if you go to a
concert of your favorite band and
advance on you just really love that
they perform if they perform it exactly
the same way as is on your recording how
will you enjoy it you will find it very
boring because you might as well sit at
home and play your record there there
needs to be somewhere that expectation
needs to be broken by an artist in a
genre that makes an artistic experience
the right balance between breaking
expectations and fulfilling them
fulfilling our expectations leads to
entertainment at its most fulfilling
member of the expectations there’s no
communication anymore but the right
balance is the first ingredients of what
makes a good artistic experience
the other one is in openness and the
willingness to learn I myself as a
student of music I think I wrote into
this whole England cello by curiosity I
just heard a little of Indian music and
was so intrigued by it that I wanted to
know more so I started learning the
music the very first lesson I was heated
of course as his usual as a cellist not
sure where as my guru ji was sitting on
the floor that is not the right equation
to learn you cannot look down on
knowledge to put it bluntly we need to
at least be an equilibrium stage and I
would prefer to look up to it at any
point of time so that was the first step
I would sit down with this big cello
then I started working with my violin
builder Edward from Tonga to create a
new sound he attached sympathetic
strings
– the big regular big cello that became
instrument number one is number two the
instrument shrunken little instrument
tree got the extra plane string but the
very long neck instrument fur was
specially built for me by Edward and was
a fantastic is a fantastic instrument
acoustic cello then for traveling and
for ease I approached a French builder
Alexandre little Yi and he built this
little instrument so a curiosity to
learn to imbibe
[Music]
another thing for to become an artist
and sharing the artistic experience was
mentioned by my google pundit hajikko
Sergio Garcia it taught me in the second
or third year of learning a new music
totally like a foot or a sitar or a
vocalist create your own voice create
your own expression create your own
entity in the art and that’s of course
very very important to be yourself
another part is to be honest music
should be your expression
Stravinsky told his students to svenska
was a famous western composer he told
his students good artists borrow great
artists steal you have to make anything
you do your own expression so this all
together put in my opinion make an
artistic experience honesty open to
learn and the right balance between
fulfilling and breaking expectations
enough of words I think I’ll play one
more melody in which I feel we show how
expectations can be broken and fulfilled
I’ll do that through a robot called
Rupali it’s a simple pentatonic scale
and it is literally found in every part
of the world we find it in China in
Australia in Scotland in the US
everywhere now I’ll start with a melody
you will all recognize because I feel
sometimes in this divided times
the role of the artist has become so
much more important again we want to
break walls divide that divisions and
boundaries disappear through arts and I
hope they’ll Indian cello and music in
general can help with that
so Raghu Polly who take an excursion to
Bengal as well Rabindranath sang it with
a melody
he got originally from Scotland so we go
from the u.s. to India Bengal Scotland
and will end in India drag the body
