Something Broke

Something broke very loud
so loud that the birds flew in a pattern together from the mango tree.
The windowpane had a crack that the sight of the beautiful mango tree outside I always looked at to soothe myself got perplexed into two.

I looked everywhere what it could be
but I did not succeed
but, this was too loud to be ignored
so I must look deeper and wider and so did I.
Now I opened the cellar, the attic, the storage boxes, my bicycle tyres, even asked my neighbours.

Invocation of Black Metal

Fri, 08 Jul 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Finding metal music in the villages of Kerala, India was not an easy task in the 90’s. A connection to larger cities or music magazines obtained from distant sources were required to have contact with this genre. I was introduced to extreme metal music when I was 13 years old while visiting my cousin in the big city of Mumbai, very far away from my village. I could not understand how music could be so “noisy”, heavy and textured, but something about this music was in harmony with me. I returned to the village with a metal CD compilation given to me by my cousin. Back in the village, I had to travel 110 kilometres to get to the nearest music shop in the city that had an international music section. Very often they did not have any extreme-metal genre, and had to pick what they had to offer, not leaving much room for choice. Accessing music via internet was an absurd process with a 64 kbps dial-up modem. However, lyrics were looked up using the available internet sources and were handwritten in a book dedicated to metal lyrics. Travelling a hundred kilometres every three months to the city to buy metal music was not accepted by parents and had to be done with meticulous planning. The whole process was so real and was done with a lot of commitment in search of wanting to know more about this music and its culture.

Elevates ether on a higher plane
Resided amidst seeping light.

The light that penetrated,
Meandered through the hands of water-bearer.

Such is the formation of a moment,
A moment in constant departure.

She stood beneath the silent moon,
watching her shadows cast on the empty ground.

Fine lines bordered her..
leaving all her dreams unrevealed.

A breeze of warmth,
she knew it was time to say good bye..

Connection to the Australian Aborigines

A few years ago, I became really fascinated by the music of the Australian Aborigines. Their traditional music has a very strong sense of rhythm. This is also the case with most of the music from the ancient cultures, and it was always connected to something that was bigger than themselves. This music felt very close to me, even though I had never listened to it before. Maybe it was because of the structure of folk music in South India, which also has a strong sense of rhythm. The interesting part of this discovery was that it was not an audible but a visual one.

Info

This book was a result of the work done together with the residents of Friends of Camphill India in the paper workshop. It would not have been possible to do this without the joint collaboration of these wonderful people.

All the papers in the book are made using recycled paper, which comes from the office of the community. The whole process is done only by hand and with low-tech but very stable techniques and tools. The paper used as the outer cover is bought ready-made from a local shop.
