Return to Bharam Chak From the May 15, 2008, TMU concert in the Brown Theatre. "The Music of Bharam Chak" is a five-movement suite of experimental music performed as percussion theatre. The composition and setting of the work is by Chris Mayer. The piece depicts the original Masters of Time, the ancient culture of Bharam Chak. The remains of their city are at the origin point, the central axis of the multiverse. The five movements are: Creation Music, Temple Music, Court Music, Martial Music and Dream Roads of Bharam Chak. While the entire suite follows this order, the individual movements can be experienced in any sequence. Set elements designed and built by Mike Fell. City models by Wayne Farley. Masks by Calandra Allen, Adam Bazil, Angela Frank, Kris Nuss, Brett Rethmeier, Alexie Smith, and Jillian Tatutm. Mechanics: Jessamine Baker, Sandra Dobbins, Wayne Farley, Mike Fell, Denise Luce, Bryan McChesney, Chris Mayer, John Virden

About this user

Anyone may join, no matter what his or her previous experience or musical skill level. All the skills necessary to a particular performance will be learned in rehearsal. The only requirements to becoming a Mechanic are dedication, enthusiasm, and creativity.

The TMU repertoire follows two traditions. We play traditional & folkloric rhythms from a variety of cultural sources, such as afro-cuban bembe and rumba, Brazilian samba, Arabic iqat and various West African styles. We also seek out and create new works, performing these in our chamber ensemble mode. We have incorporated minimalism, art of noises/futurism, soundscapes, chance music and found objects into our performances. Many of the Mechanics regularly build and perform on new instruments. We've also been very happy to premiere the new and less-performed works of nascent and established composers.

Formed in 2002, TMU is resident at Cowley College. We present two major concerts a year, in May and December, with other occasional gigs and presentations throughout the year.

We have arranged our videos into play lists of our most recent concerts, as well as a wide array of our favorites. Please enjoy, and feel free to leave your comments.
