ABSTRACT
As a composer of intercultural music for the Post-Colonial War Requiem, I am particularly concerned with commonalities and contrasts between the ways in which the sense of hearing perceives and analyzes musical sound in two art-music traditions, one of which originated in the cultures of Europe, and the other in the cultures of the northern part of the Indian sub-continent. I am not a scholar; I am a thinking practitioner, writing from my perspective within the Noise of the Past team. As part of that team's creative engagement with post-colonial narratives of war, Post-Colonial War Requiem is intended as a live-performance memorial for the Indian volunteer army.
