I am aware of the beauty that lies in this magnificent instrument, and as such am plagued constantly by the concept of creating melody in rhythm. The Tabla is the closest, almost perfect instrument that blends percussion and melody, and this is simply because there is an emotive nature to it. Emotion comes with language; it has an appropriate grammatical structure that glues the entire mosaic together. Often, rhythm is viewed as two individual beats, as supposed to the space between these two individual beats and how it is filled. When you fill this space effectively, that is melody. That is what leads to the element of captivity. My drum will not be struck, rather it will sing.
