It sounds more like beats like the tabla players at times rattle about.Even instrument players do that. Could it be that?

The idea stems from an Indian technique of calculation for drummers. The sounds that drummers make on the two, main classical drums (tabla in the North and mrdingam in the South) are repeated as onomatopoeic syllables. You learn the syllables first, before you pick up the drum. In South India it has become a vocal art form called konnakol. I have discarded the calculation and the rigid time cycles and use the technique to achieve a purely emotive collage of sound. I'm breaking up patterns and throwing the listener off the beat, being as mad and chaotic as possible, yet I'm also keeping you hooked using the psychology of the rhythm. I have started to build in other percussive elements like elocution exercises and silly tongue twisters, snippets from advertising jingles, or an ancient Celtic imitation of bird song — anything that will get you to question the nature of these percussive syllables rather than accepting them because you think they're traditional.
