NrityaDhol

      NrityaDhol is a music instrument which combines dance and music experiences of Ghunghroo and Dhol. Ghunghroo is a musical anklet tied to the leg of Indian classical dancers to produce music out of their footwork. Dhol is a drum which sets rhythm of foot tapping in many Indian dances.
NrityaDhol is a musical anklet which translates foot tapping patterns of Indian classical dances into a rhythm of Dhol with the help of motion detection technology. It produces “Dhin” (low frequency bass sound) and “tak“(high frequency treble sound) of Dhol on tapping left and right leg respectively.

NrityaDhol has to look like a delicate piece of Art, which can go along with the Indian dancer's outfit. So at initial stage we had different types of anklets. Which dancer can wear at time of performance. Almost all the anklets are made of silver or copper. and they all are hand crafted.
Basic Form exploration with electronics circuits.
 
CAD modeling to get basic Indian context with copper material. There are 14 stripes of copper, which stitched with material. It gives different form when it gets to bend.
