cyclical rhythm and one-half advanced ornamented melody, Koller told me from Vancouver where he was attending the 11th World Harp Congress. These are general divisions since the science of harmony, raga, tala and melody are ultimately at the mercy of the imagination of the performers. Their skill and experience must take the music to transcendent places beyond these descriptions. Koller feels the most satisfying East/West fusion happens when advanced Easte r n o r na m e nte d m e l o dy soars over Western harmony on a mixed bed of Eastern and Western rhythm, with added improvisation in the hands of free-spirited imaginative souls. If youre curious what that sounds like, I highly recommend checking out the Indian West Fusion gig. Pat Murray and I will do a Beatles medley for sitar and voice; Sundar, Ravi and I will explore the jazz improvisation side of things, and Pat, Sundar, Samidha, Ravi, and I will delve in to compositions that incorporate everything we have to offer from jazz to classical to folk.

Now & Then: Music from South Asia featuring Indian West Fusion follows at 2:15 p.m. Both shows are free. 235 Queens Quay W. For more information on the festival, visit harbourfrontcentre.com
