samādhāna explores the relationship between the phonology of human speech and our environment. The impulse to communicate with a deity has often informed human experience. Therefore, theology has been formative over the course of human evolution. These deeper feelings can be expressed through sound, either linguistically or by means of vocalizations. The roots of these experiences are likely inspired by nature and natural forces. Further enhancing this connection are musical instruments that are reflective of the surrounding ecological soundscape. In this piece, a Hindu devotional ritual is performed in Malayalam, a Dravidian language informed by Sanskrit, native to the state of Kerala in South India. The piece is comprised of various recordings from a festival at the Sree Krishna Swami Temple in the village of Pattam Thuruth, Kerala. Components of the chant and its surrounding ecology are deconstructed to focus on unifying sonic elements, further playing upon the Sanskrit word, samādhāna, which translates as ‘putting together’ or ‘uniting’. Whilst sounds are highly contextually-dependent, this piece attempts to find commonalities beyond cultural bounds, by focusing on unifying sonic qualities.
