Bandish Projekt resonates with the musicality of Mayur Narvekar, a composer, producer, dj, remixer, performer and a multi-instrumentalist.' Bandish' in its Indian classical connotation means "composition", while Projekt reflects its innate extermination. Like a creeper and a tree, the music is the symbiotic conjoining of the sounds of folk music, fused with electronic or classical Indian ragas entwined into trip hop. Bandish Projekt fuses melodies of yore with IDM (Intelligent dance music).
From the echo of festivals across India into the live energy of over numerous gigs, Bandish Projekt’s sounds have travelled across Dubai, Uk, Sweden, France, Amsterdam and Australia. He has performed at Glastonbury, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Sommerszene festival (Austria), Melbourne Electronic Festival, Village India UK, Incubate festival and the BBC Asian Network tour.
His taste for strange sounds and electronic noises brings a certain wildness and rarity in his style while his classical element keeps him grounded. Mayur's need for experimentation allows him to steer the unchartered waters of musical terrain, as he marks out new "musicological" features. His music is his journey and it is that journey he explores. |
