Ice Creams in Chennai are a welcome treat and the sound of the ice cream hawker trolley bell is a welcome sound for the common man. At midnight however, their supply runs out and one can only procure ice creams from the head office in every area where all these trolleys finally park themselves at the end of a night’s work. One such ice cream man was interviewed by us and was told to go to the office to get the said ice cream. He was enamoured by the audio equipment and the interaction of the layman with advanced audio equipment - something that does not seem out of the ordinary to music students - is being explored in the is video. Oh yes, and we got some orange ice cream on the side! :)
In November 2015 we made recordings based on the question chosen by the students, "What is the sound of poverty in Chennai". These results are posted on top.
Previously we asked the question in May 2015: "What is the difference in the sound between the inside and the outside of the conservatory". The question in December 2015 then became "What is the sound of poverty in Chennai" In so doing, we investigated the relations that give meaning to the sounds and music around us as students and teachers and engaged with the city of Chennai.
