About
Auburn Indian Music Ensemble (AIME) explores Indian music with trained vocalists accompanied by traditional Indian Instruments. Comprised of Auburn University students and members of the local community, each member brings their interest in music and different talents like singing or playing instruments like guitar, piano, cajon, etc. Some are trying music for the first time while others are quite accomplished, but all are immersed in the cultural experience. This eclectic mix makes for a fun learning environment. The ensemble features traditional Indian acoustic instruments like Sitar, Harmonium, Tanpura and Tabla - the Indian drums. The ensemble gets creative with the improvised aspects of Indian music, learning compositions in diverse genres ranging from classical to contemporary and folk music. The spontaneity makes it all the more enjoyable.
