Recording outside the conservatory: the area of Arumbakkam around KMMC is often infused with music itself, either from vendors, a tea shop, fruit shop, mechanics down the street or the temple right next to it whose loudspeakers extend all around a four-block radius in the neighborhood. A fitting backdrop for the "film" of the student's lives at KM Music Conservatory: the trappings of the Indian urban landscape striving to develop rapidly and its sounds, and especially its music. The temple, auto mechanic, tea shop and fruit juice place all share the sonic space with a remarkable degree of friendly cooperation. I've never heard two stereos on at the same time! Today the auto mechanics stereo was on. The necessity of practice doesn't allow for this kind of musical cooperation in the conservatory itself except during concerts of course.
