“The vocal music has the privilege to take the aid of words to communicate the inner containing mood but the instrumental music has only the vehicle of innate mood of the melody and no words to convey its message”

Malose is interested in exploring the medium that produces sound, based on his impressions of the culture of handmade instruments in India. He is interested in dwelling on how different one stringed instruments, an ektara for example, can have different designs, creations, sizes and can produce separate and distinct sounds. The artistic intent, here, is to try and disclocate the instruments from the context of their design and see them as medium that ignite sound.

Sound requires a medium to propagate, and generally that medium is air. When viewed in relation to South African culture during Dinaka, a ceremonial and ritual dance of northern Sotho speaking people, Sepedi is the medium that composes sound while playing a wind instrument. Similarly the installation embodies the attempt to communicate the innate mood of the instrument in an unreal
setting.
