I was chatting to a guy that works with Aloke Dutta the other day, and he asked me for a plug fgor his shows coming up in April (something I will do later today).  In passing I asked if Aloke would be happy to answer a few questions for Fourtheye readers, and the response was yes.

So if anyone has any questions they'd like me to ask, let me know and I'll see that they're included in the interview.  Inappropriate and joke questions may be excluded...

I'm sure there's a possibility of him playing with Tool again? Or perhaps recording some material for the new album for them?

Rather than teaching, who would he like to play or even write with?

Since the tabla is more of a delicate acoustic instrument, was the overwhelming noise difficult to deal with playing onstage with Tool?

Ok, almost ready to send these off to Aloke:


Is there any possibility of you playing with Tool again?  Have you been asked to contribute to their new album?
Since the tabla is more of a delicate acoustic instrument, was the overwhelming noise difficult to deal with playing onstage with Tool?
In what ways does learning to play the tabla translate to ones overall drumming ability and technique?
Are your lessons suitable for musicians of of levels of expertise?
Are there any artists that you would like to collaborate with in the future?
What are some of your favourite Eastern artists?
Who are your favourite drummers?
What music are you currently listening too?
What is your favourite Indian dish?  Do you enjoy cooking, and if so do you have any recipes to share?
What is your favourite Simpsons episode?

More questions are welcome, as is feedback on the questions above.  I've altered a few of the questions, if anyone who asked them feel like I've missed the point of their question then please let me know.

I'm hoping to send this to Aloke sometime this weekend, so if you do have anything further to add then please let me know in the next day or so.

Are we truly all Indians and no chiefs, as the vintage TOOL t-shirt suggests? And if so, does it worry you, as an ethnic Indian, that people are calling me an Indian, when I'm whiter than whipped cream?

For my Simpsons one, you could amend it to ask "What is your favorite Simpsons episode and/or who is your favorite character?"

 

If it's too late, no big deal.

What are his music influences ? 

What is his favorite film/video game soundtrack and why ?

What was the catalyst in working with Tool on a recording ? Or rather what attracted him to Tool ?

-  Danny Carey's drumming has a tribal texture to it. Did he actively study tabla under your guidance or was he more interested in learning some specific idiosyncrasies of the instrument and incorporate that into his technique/sounds ? Or both ?
