Description

'Chaudhuri's languorous, elliptical, beautiful prose is impressively impossible to put in any category at all.' Salman RushdieBy turns essay, memoir and cultural study,Alaapis Amit Chaudhuri's singular account of his discovery of, and enduring passion for, North Indian music: an ancient, evolving tradition whose principles and practices will alter the reader's notion of what music might - and can - be.Tracing the music's development,Alaapdwells on its most distinctive and mysterious characteristics: its extraordinary approach to time, language and silence; its embrace of confoundment, and its ethos of evocation over representation. The result is a strange gift of a book, for musicians and music lovers, and for any creative mind in search of diverse and transforming inspiration.
