For the electronic music enthusiasts - this article discusses a fascinating upcoming documentary about pioneering early electronic music that has remained hidden away for over forty years:

Thanks for that, really interesting. The Ten Ragas track from 1982 was excellent, so far ahead of it's time. I'm looking forward to hearing the 60's stuff on the documentary. 

Very interesting - thanks for posting

There's a bit more info and some clips here: https://www.thewire.co.uk/in-writing/interviews/electronic-india-moog-inter...

I missed the show, did you listen to it?

I really enjoyed it - it was interesting for the background on the design school that was the base for these experiments, and the overall Indian cultural context. The interview with the last surviving student was really good too, although rather sad in that he never got to pursue his interests in electronic music. 

I could have done with a bit more from the original tapes but they were still intriguing. 

It's still available on iPlayer-

Thanks for the link. I'll try to have a listen soon as I can. 

Hi,

Many thanks for this thread (without which, I would've missed the programme) & for the Guardian & Wire links.

I thought it was all good, but, yes, the interview with Jinraj Joshipura was special.
