Sonic - Notes on node-Eater

Soundscape of Arattupuzha

Mon, 17 Jan 2022 10:00:00 +0100

I frequently visited Arattupuzha, a village in southern India, until I was 17 years old to meet my friend Shiraz. We have known each other for over twenty-five years now. I grew up in the nearest village called Karthikappally. The journey took approximately half an hour by bus at that time. I imagine that it would be different now, considering the staggering number of vehicles on the road. Spending time in Arattupuzha was an absolute delight, and the feeling has not changed so much until now. The escape to the countryside reduced the need to constantly feed the intellect with sugar bites in exchange for communion with nature, evoking states of unity.

Reminiscence of 'Terrace Jam'

Sun, 09 Jan 2022 19:15:29 +0100

It was in the year 2009, while I was studying art at the College of Fine Arts in Bangalore, that I met Nishchith Moses. We discovered each other’s musical interests rather quickly while spending time at the sculpture department and even more in the canteen, where we spent an enormous amount of time drinking chai, philosophising over existential philosophies and the lyrics of Nick Drake.

Soon enough, we started to meet at my place frequently after school to jam. All I had as an instrument was a very cheap electric guitar and plenty of VSTs to crank it up. My computer at that time was breaking apart in all its glory. It sent out low-voltage electric charges into the guitar strings and the rest of the metal parts. To avoid discomfort, one had to wear a shoe or not touch the ground while playing the guitar. Truthfully and without fail, Old Monk, the very old vatted rum (at least on the label), accompanied us on this creative journey.

Transition II - A Field Recording Composition

Tue, 16 Nov 2021 15:53:29 +0100

Transition II is a collage of sounds collected over the past 4 years. It covers the country-scape of eastern Norway to the city-scape of western Germany. Like in my other compositions using field recordings, the transition from one situation to the other is the focus. In this piece, most of the sounds recorded in Norway are mainly from the everyday life of an ecological community and the city of Oslo.

Head Splash [Noise Grind] (2011)

About

Head Splash came into existence in 2011 quite spontainously after five grindcore fans gathered together one fine afternoon on the outskirts of Bangalore, in the southern part of India. I was only part of these first few songs and did not continue the project while Clifford and Charlie went on making further pieces. These tracks here became a part of the CD compilation released called Retards Lullaby which I was unaware of until recently.
