“Tensei Taal" "転生 タール" by Noriko Shakti is a rhythmic odyssey that pays homage to the art of tabla playing. Crafted during her transformative journey from Japan to the heart of Kolkata, India, this piece is both a personal reflection and a tribute to the pursuit of musical mastery. Under the tutelage of esteemed Indian gurus, Noriko has woven her journey of learning and expression into the fabric of this track. It’s a rich tapestry of traditional tabla rhythms infused with the essence of contemporary electronic music, showcasing a profound connection between discipline, creativity, and the universal language of rhythm. "Tensei Taal" is more than a song; it's an invitation to experience the soulful convergence of cultures and the beautiful complexity of rhythmic exploration. "Tensei Taal" is a homage to the concept of life, death, and rebirth, encapsulated within the universal language of music. It's a bridge between the serene contemplation found in the idea of Tensei and the complex, cyclical nature of Taal, which mirrors life's own rhythms - starting and ending at the Sum (the first beat of a cycle), only to begin again, infinitely. This piece is a reflection of the eternal cycle of reincarnation, portrayed through the intricate beats of the tabla, which Noriko has composed, played, recorded, mixed, and mastered with meticulous care and profound personal insight. This also marks Noriko's debut on sound.xyz www.norikoshakti.com ©Noriko Shakti
