Jungle Drums and DSP
Chris Bore - Watch Now - DSP Online Conference 2024 - Duration: 27:49
Origins of DSP can be found in the two-tone drum language of the Lokele People: introduced to European culture by John Carrington in 1949. In this short talk, Chris Bore outlines the insights Carrington offered into drum language, its parallels to DSP, and the lessons that can still be learned from this piece of history. Assisted by Kevin Bulford - drummer of The King Cats rock'n'roll band - to bring life to the jungle drums.
Seems to me you need to do some field research, I think set up a GoFundMe page :-) A good excuse to get out of the UK for a bit... Seriously though that was really interesting. I would like to think that the knowledge of the drum language(s) is not lost.
Thanks for a fascinating talk!
