about

Establishment combines debashis sinha’s works „Adeva_v000_04“ and „Brahmaputra“ to a digital double release EEST15 & EEST16. Deb's craft as percussionist and sound composer is on full display in these twin journeys into spirtualized spaces and decolonized technologies.

Brahmaputra (EEST16)

In Brahmaputra, debashis sinha travels even deeper into mythology, in a release named for the holy Hindu river. It’s a record that itself evolved, starting in sounds for Toronto-based filmmaker Srinivas Krishna’s work “When the Gods Came Down to Earth.” There is a thematic thread, too, like a boat traversing a river - through the Bengali folk drum madal played in the first track, images of locations in Deb’s ancestral India, and other holy places in the Hindu pantheon with their associated tales. That opening percussion gesture is unfolded through all these spaces, mythical and modern.
