Dear Rasikas,
This is perhaps an odd request, but i hope that someone might be interested.
I'm wondering if someone will be willing to contribute a sample of recorded mridangam for an art project?
I'm currently working on a trio of abstract sculptures with a musical component—that is each piece has an mp3 player and emits its own sound. When all three pieces are playing they produce a "performance" or "conversation". Because each piece will be started at different times, with different durations and spans of silence, the performance will be constantly changing with unexpected combinations.
I find the rhythms and tone of mridangam totally enchanting. Also, because the sound of the instrument will be unfamiliar to most American art audiences, I hoping that the sound will be mysterious and intriguing.
Thanks

Re: Mridangam for musical sculpture
to clarify...
I intend to reimburse and credit whoever participates.
The presentation will be respectful.
I understand that an art gallery is pretty different than a temple of concert hall. My feeling is that just as music can be a reflection of and devotion to the divine, so can visual art.
I'm happy to answer any questions.
