When you meet a totally unprofessional set of everything...

Old sounds: Recorded during 2023/2024; information comes from memories only.

Unprofessional Gadgets: Recording gadget was computer's in-built microphone - making it harder to place the mic nearby the sound source.

Unprofessional Instrument: The instrument was personal possession of somebody who used to play it during some community events. It was a lent instrument; played by someone who did not own it.

Non-Event: Sounds were recorded just for the purpose of recoding, during a regular day, no special occasion. Hence, the instrument was stored over long period, loosing its tuning.

Quick setup: A personal public relation with the available people around it let us have the instrument, a computer, during a sun bath at a village house. Recorded on open sound with the winds.

Unprofessional audiences: participants gathered for fun time only, played in-front of not-well-trained ears.

Unprofessional Player: The player did not focus on recording for quality but for a purpose of teaching within few minutes. The sounds were grabbed without looking at the waveforms. Besides that the sunlight caused difficult access to the computer screen.

Unprofessional sequencer: I do not sequence the sounds professionally. Just included this composition for a demonstration that a hand drum could have been loved, in whatever condition it may be in.

Sounds from Nepal, Nepali instruments or the Nepali ways of producing sound.
