SUMMARY:Sounding the Paper Garden
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special listening session that centers around the
  original two-hour musical score created for our latest exhibition\, Paper
  Gardens: Art\, Botany and Empire \n\nThe musical score was created on co
 mmission by Rohan Kale and Udai Sharma. A blend of field recordings from f
 orests\, gardens\, and natural habitats across the country\, were arranged
  with digitally produced instrumentation. \n\nBotanical illustrations— 
 made on stark white backgrounds — tend to isolate a plant from its envir
 onment and ecological relationships. Through careful layering and spatial 
 design\, this score evokes the textures\, rhythms\, and seasonal transform
 ations that suffuse the ecosystems that plants inhabit. It brings together
  recordings from forests\, gardens\, and natural habitats across the count
 ry\, alongside digitally produced instrumentation. \n\nThe session will b
 egin with a behind-the-scenes walkthrough of the artists’ recording and 
 composition process: how they sourced specific botanical sounds\, their ex
 periments with timbre and tone\, and the challenges of translating ecologi
 cal context into sonic experience. This will be followed by a listening se
 ssion within the gallery space\, surrounded by the artworks\, offering par
 ticipants a chance to experience how sound interacts with visual art and a
 mbient space to shape memory\, emotion\, and perception.\n\nWhether you’
 re a musician\, listener\, artist\, botanist\, or curious visitor\, we wel
 come you to sit with us—and the plants—as the air comes alive with the
  sound of life unfolding in nature.
