My Journeyby Manveer Singh
The project which has received support from Collide is entitled, 'My Journey' and this refers to a journey Manveer have made many times through the heart of Birmingham from New Street Station to the conservatoire. As his eyesight has deteriorated, this ten minute walk has become more and more an aural adventure in which he is aware of an almost bewildering variety of sounds, accents and languages. Through the use of ragas and their relationships with emotions as well as the work of a video artist using projectors and lighting, the audience will be given an insight into the relationship between music, sounds and visual impairment.

My JourneyManveer Singh Multimedia Film | Video Music - Concert Manveer Singh has been based in Birmingham since 1999 and has recently completed a B.Mus (Hons) in Rag Sangeet at Birmingham Conservatoire, focusing on North Indian tabla performance. He is continuing his studies there as a postgraduate student, this time focusing on composition. Over the last few years, Manveer has worked in a vast array of ensembles from traditional North Indian groups to work with Gospel choirs, jazz musicians as well as musicians from the Middle East and West Africa. The Singh Quintet represents a new direction in which Manveer has brought together musicians from the North Indian and western classical traditions. The fusing of two musical traditions is not something which can be done by simply bringing different musicians together. In the case of Indian classical music, it is too often assumed that the quality of performance is similar to the kind of improvisation found in jazz and so the Singh Quintet explores the compositional side of these two musical traditions. |
