Mortar/ Pestle (​?​)​, Jaipur

from Just Before Diwali: Field Recordings From North India by Mike Hallenbeck

/

about

Jaipur was the city I enjoyed visiting most on this entire trip. (If you're ever there, don't miss Jantar Mantar and the Raj Mandir movie theater.) But ironically, this is the only sound I found myself recording in Jaipur. I was on the way down the hotel stairs when I heard this sound through the trelli on the outer edge of the stairwell. Peering outside, I could barely see a man on the other side of a fence, seated, hunched over with his back to me, apparently working on something in a bucket. As far as I could tell, his work roughly approximated the manner of a mortar and pestle; that's the more pronounced sound. The subtler percussive impact might come from a necklace he was wearing hitting the bucket as well.
