'Netzwerk Konnakol' was started by 4 artists and researchers with different backgrounds (carnaticmusic, contemporary music & art, speech-therapy ) in 2018. Each of us is very experienced and creative in his field. Together we are teaching, researching, composing and building up 'Netzwerk Konnakol' - also based around the network of Tamil Culture Fine Arts Academy Germany in Essen, Ruhr (since 2017). In order to make the profound potential of carnatic-rhythm transfers more transparent to german students and academics, we are recently (2021) extending our team with further interprets from various backgrounds (contemporary music, classical, jazz).
