Context: One Hand Clapping – The Unreleased Demos 2001–2003 The Sound of One Hand Clapping is a 1998 Australian drama film directed by Richard Flanagan, based on the novel of the same name.  It was entered into the 48th Berlin International Film Festival.  The film was shot in Hobart, Tasmania. A Tala (IAST "tāla"), sometimes spelled Taala, Taal or Tal, literally means a "clap, tapping one's hand on one's arm, a musical measure".  It is the term used in Indian classical music to refer to musical meter, that is any rhythmic beat or strike that measures musical time.  The measure is typically established by hand clapping, waving, touching fingers on thigh or the other hand, verbally, striking of small cymbals, or a percussion instrument in the South Asian traditions.  Along with "raga" which forms the fabric of a melodic structure, the "tala" forms the life cycle and thereby constitutes one of the two foundational elements of Indian music. The hand jive is a dance particularly associated with music of the 1950s, rhythm and blues in particular.  It involves a complicated pattern of hand moves and claps at various parts of the body, following and/or imitating the percussion instruments.  It resembles a highly elaborate version of pat-a-cake.  Hand moves include thigh slapping, cross-wrist slapping, fist pounding, hand clapping, and hitch hike moves.
