LE may be performed by two or more players. A
ersion for one player is possible via midi/computer
devices as in the version by Los fingeles percussionist
Amy Knoles or with one or more parts pre-recorded.
There is no restriction of instrumentation or number of
players. The solos may be performed by one player or
shared within a group of players. A cycle of 4, 8 or 16
beats may be defined by a melody, a bell or other
sound played on each downbeat or a bell on the first
beat and another on the ninth.
Although PIRU BOLE is based on East Indian drumming
concepts it is not traditional but rather more in line
with some of the experiments happening with non-
traditional percussion ensembles throughout India.
One commercial recording exists played by the HANDS
ON’SEMBLE and featuring Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri as
the soloist. This recording is available from,
