One Earth Orchestra – Portraits: Volker Staub
Volker Staub, OEO #1, 4 und 5
The music was composed for the tour “Music for Diversity of Life and Culture” to South India in 2012. The melodies and the density of sounds and rhythms were inspired by impressions from landscapes and cities in India. OEO #4 refers to a song of the indgenous culture of the Kadar that we met in the jungle of Parambikulam in Adhra Pradesh.
The video combines the music with images from India and the People in Parambikulam.

Volker Staub, “for two to play on one drum” (Excerpts)
“Music for Diversity” was a tour that combined very contrasting concert venues. We played, among others, at the United Nations´ Biodiversity Conference in Hyderabad (COP 11) and in the southern Indian jungle in Parambikulam with musicians of the indigenous community of the Kadar. The rehearsal there took place in a clearing in the jungle accompanied by the calls of the jungle dwellers.
