Where from, where to, Music my Love?
A non-authoritative provocative exploration by Shankar Barua

Streams of thought with an off-mainstream India tilt will be shared, spanning the cusp of millennia from the past century towards the imponderable future, together with brief illustrative video-clips and possibly even a basic demonstration or two along the way

Shankar Barua, better known as ShankarBaba has been an on-again off-again musician and composer since his teens in the 1970s. The illustrated talk will focus upon the works, associations, and continuum surrounding the 7 CD-Gazettes he produced between 2000-2004 as The Indian Documentary of Electronic Arts (The IDEA), as well as the 10 annual iterations of the three-day Carnival of e-Creativity he curated in 2006-2016 under the banner of a private trust, The AeA; with the first three having each been produced in association with, and in, IIC
