Dhvani (Sound/Nada)
is a profound experience that envelopes us from birth to death. Yet it is not
easily fathomed. Its description by an accoustic engineer is very different
from that of a musician, a linguist, a city planner, or a neurologist. The
IGNCA (Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts), New Delhi, organized a
2-day International Seminar: 24-25 October 1994, not only to understand the
experiential, cross-cultural perceptions of sound, or not just to discourse
about its definitional subtleties as are encountered in the ancient texts of
the East and the West; but also to bring together its perceptions in
tradition, modern accoustics, and even in the ongoing environmental studies.
In today’s living conditions, the Dhvani-theme is specially crucial — for
sound has become a major pollutant both in terms of resonances and
accoustics. Assembled in this volume are the presentations of the IGNCA
seminar, exploring the various complex conceptual dimensions of sound:
ranging from its mystical and traditionally metaphysical to its present-day
developments, from its perceptions in indigenous musical theory to its
futuristic applications. With focus around five thematic areas of the
seminar: (a) Sound as the Source of Creation and Sources of Sound, (b) Sound
and the Senses, (c) Sound and Space, (d) Sound and Time, and (e) Symbols of
Sound and Sonic Designs, the authors open up the possibilities of interaction
among different disciplines involved in the study of Dhvani-phenomenon. |
