So, the folks at Michigan Music Monthly posted the last two excerpts from the Binaural-audio-equipped Sumkali show. As with the other links that I posted in this thread, this is really engineered to sound best (and by far, most realistic) when you listen with headphones (because it's binaural).

So, here we go...

This first one, called "Akhian Udeekdian" - a VERY upbeat number - features some "audience participation", which starts right around the two-minute mark. I think the performance itself does a great job of bringing on the 'you are there' feel, however, when you hear the hand claps and such from the audience, it will seem that much more realistic.

..and now this one, "Maulkans", features some great percussive work as well as some call-and-answer between the vocalist (Parag Ray) and the harmonium (played by Vishrut Srivastava).

I have no idea when the entire show will post, but if you dig this, just keep an eye on YouTube for the whole-show post.

Enjoy
