about

Inspired by the rhythm of the rails, Suba wrote the all-solkattu (south Indian vocal percussion) Thom Petti. The opening lines "ta-thom, thom-ta" echo the clickety-clack, and the shifts from straight time to triplet-feel take us through the straightaways and gentle curves of a train ride though India. "Thom" is a solkattu syllable, and "Petti" means "box" in Tamil: hence, a box (or maybe, a boxcar) full of Thoms.
