“This is knowledge that has lasted over 700 years,” Naseeruddin Saami says. “I’m certain that it will not die. God will place it in the hearts of who he wants to”
is poetry set to music, whileworks with sound alone, explains Mr Saami. The songs have been performed for hundreds of years, but musicians often add their own improvisation; as well as having meticulous control over their voice, asinger has to have “intuitive knowledge” of when a note should be used. “Sound is the beginning of the universe itself,” the musician says, with an expression of wonderment as he talks about the sacred qualities of his music.
Mr Brennan remembers being awed by the complexity of Mr Saami’s art: “I feel like he transcends musical forms in the same way Luciano Pavarotti was able to transcend the opera,” he says. “I think the only person who truthfully understands what he does is him. He hits notes that only he knows, and no one else knows. He is the master.” The producer recalls a particular performance by Mr Saami at WOMAD, a festival in Wiltshire, England.
Mr Saami has many students, his sons among them, who hope to grasp the art of the microtone under his instruction. He is confident that this storied musical lineage will continue. “This is knowledge that has lasted over 700 years,” he says. “It reached me in some way and I’m certain that it will not die. God will place it in the hearts of who he wants to.”
