8. (275) What has been the impact of Bally’s desire to “westernize” his music?
Bally desires to westernize his music and is opposed to the idea that Indian music shouldn’t be tampered with. He conveys his ideas by asking the question “I want to know who makes up the law about how music should sound? Why can’t you have hundreds of different styles? He is completely right because if music was not tampered and shifted with there wouldn’t be multiple styles of music. There should be a style for every listener, and in doing this Asian music will find its way to the western market. There needs to be choices because some people don’t like traditional music and some do. And in westernizing his music he will have the ability to cater to them all.
11. (287-288) Why does Karsh Kale call his music “Asian Massive”?
He calls it Asian massive because he has addd electronic drums and bass recordings to the folk music and continues to intertwine both contemporary and traditional music into one.
12. (288) What are the techniques used to create Asian Massive?
Ceratin techniques used in creating this sound include the proper placement of tracks in the stereo image, which is why the Dj’s artistry is only found within the headphones. The ability of equalization is extremely important because too much volume within same frequency will cancel out sounds. The use of multiple reverbs of different depths creates a sense that certain tracks are nearer and further giving it its massive sound.
