Music has been an integral part of every culture. Man has tried creating numerous shapes to suit his song or to listen to musical sounds. He ventured meddling with many materials and forms to play the harmony of sounds, creating a musical experience. I chose to work with bamboo for its ability to create sounds. I learned that it is a wind instrument in the form of a flute, a string instrument in the form of a Bhudung Dhuppa (a traditional North East instrument), and a percussion instrument as well in the form of drums. Many traditions have historically used bamboo in various ways to create musical sounds. Summer training in north-east India provided an opportunity to see bamboo in its habitat. Attending a workshop on creating sounds in bamboo organised by BCDI gave an insight into the making and use of bamboo as musical instruments. It also made me question the design aspects of a musical product.
