| | Far from adopting a homologous model of music and identity, their project demonstrates how music is a part of the process of identity formation (Born and Hesmondhalgh, 2000:31). | | | By dealing primarily with the musical aspect of the collaboration, I show how their project offers unique contributions to the representation of a transnational ethnic identity, as well as to ethnomusicological issues of sound structure and social structure, and as a method of performing ethnography. | | | I will analyze the formal structure of one piece to reveal its multi-layered poly-rhythmic logic, showing how Iyer draws on elements of South Indian tala, the rhythmic principle that structures South Indian classical, or Karnatic, music. |
