An ardent creator of contemporary electronic music production, who yearns to give back through his talent and his taste of producing distinctive sounds. Lifafa’s Suryakant Sawhney has waded through the uncharted waters and explored a whole new unique strand of electronic music. One isn’t solely focused towards attaining rhythm but meaning. His intrinsic musical talent caters to the likes on an experimental genre. A fusion of Hindi and Urdu, a constant innovation and a proof of his surreal music production skills. Imbibing a blend of emotions that include a sense of spiritual, sensual, amicable and alien auras. To sum it up in one word, futuristic.

II. Bowls

Bowls who also goes as Dhruv Bhola is the current bassist for Peter Cat Recording Studio Co, and an ardent guitarist for the band Run It’s The Kid. Who has also collaborated and worked alongside profound musical genius, Prateek Kuhad.

Capturing his vivid experiences and bringing them to life in a melodic form. Karan Sings groove makes way for an eccentric take on music as he’s quoted saying “Imagine a keyboard coming to life and slipping into outer space, surrounded by galaxies, and then picture what it’ll sound like in the land of nowhere” His talent goes beyond just playing groovy tunes to shake a leg to and delves into metal and rock music, too.

It’s time to join the wild and be one with nature and hum in harmony with the whistling winds. Credit - Roohaniyat residencies

IV. Jamblu

An electronic music producer and an experimental mixologist, who’s reputedly been creating music since 2008 creating a fusion of ‘illicit visceral responses’ which then channeled itself into the realm of storytelling. His unique take on music entwines with the spiritual realm, one to do with cosmic and the universal thoughts and pondering over the reality of existence. The stark contradictions and parallels of creation - destruction and the grey spaces that lie in-between. A major take of his creations are derived from the psychedelic sphere. His latest creations include a more personal and intimate take on his life and the atmosphere that surrounds him. His musical persona has been part of an underground electronic music experience and he has toured India, China, Europe and thrives on creating and taking on new strides and expanding his horizons in new and unknown spaces.

This project has been under taken by Delhi based musician Rijul Victor. His musical creations do not solely fit into a specific category/genre but is a mirage of ambient vivid sounds. Highly inspired by ‘Leftfield ambient/psychedelic/glitch/UK-bass’. Corridors is an honest take of who he is as a person i.e., a composer and a producer, showcasing his avid love for producing music.

A cosmic oriented audio/visual exploration of a spiritual awakening journey, taking a giant leap into the cosmic fractions of existence, the emotions that we feel, the norms and the many beliefs of society and the common goal of being content that truly unites us all. Equipped with edgy 3D visuals and graphics, experimental glitches and ambient lighting all set to turn the whole musical gig into an immersive one. Imbibing a sense of a deeper meaning to life.

Another Delhi based singer - son writer. Initially set out to be a lawyer, but the journey life took him on a different path. Writing mellow and soulful music, he went on to skip his final law internship with a whole set of 10 of his original songs and started playing gigs instead. His repertoire has now broadened and has gone on to include 26 songs and he’s written 50 more, in English and Hindi.

All this being said it’s time to join the wild and be one with nature and hum in harmony with the whistling winds.

Sounds in Silence has been postponed to the first half of 2020
