Disco Puppet

 Is Shoumik Biswas, aka Disco Puppet, one of the most daring musicians around? Is he wired differently? Does he see colours that don’t exist? Does food smell like musical notation to him? One listen to his music, it seems all is true.

Disco Puppet occupies a space somewhere between where the auto tune narratives of Bon Iver (think “Woods”) and a jazz drummer doing a four-hour solo might meet, while sharing a fish sandwich.  

Born in Kolkata and educated at India’s de facto hub of uncompromising art pedagogy, Bangalore’s Srishti, his live performances see him combining live drums, a flute, his own voice under a number of processes, and off kilter software sequencing.  His latest release Spring doesn’t sound like anything that has ever come out of India, which could be because Bangalore traffic doesn’t really allow anyone to leave their studio, or the fact that his label Consolidate is a kind of incestuous space where artists all play on each others projects.

“Spring, Disco Puppet’s new EP is characterised by its irreverence towards the stylistic dictates of genres and their purists. This stems partly from ideology, but mostly from a tendency to get easily bored. But cerebral as his work is, he matches it with heart. His experiments, though nearly scientific in their rigour, are always essentially human. They come from a place of empathy and vulnerability, and perhaps because of this, they are surprisingly moving.”

Disco Puppet (Shoumik Biswas)是印度*胆的音乐人而已吗？ 他脑子的接线方式不一样吗？是不是因为他能看到不存在的颜色？或者他对食物闻起来像音符？一听他的音乐，好像都是对的。

Shoumik Biswas的音乐空间在Bon Iver的自动叙事曲调（Woods）和一位爵士鼓手四小时独奏的相遇之处，并且二者分享一盘鱼咖喱和米饭。 他出生在加尔各答，在印度*不不妥协的艺术教育机构、班加罗尔的Srishti接受教育，他的现场表演结合了鼓、长笛、他自己的声音（或代理声部）和出乎意外的r软件排序。 他*新唱片《春天》听起来不像来自印度的任何东西，这可能是因为班加罗尔的交通让人离不开他们的工作室，或者也可以说，他的Label，Consolidate，是一个艺术家在彼此的项目上再创作的乱伦空间。

《春天EP》 的特点是他不管纯粹风格主义者, 他有自己的音乐意识，而他也容易厌烦。 虽然他的电子实验有一种科学本质，他做出来的音乐总是都有人类行在里面。Disco Puppet的音乐来自一个同情和脆弱的地方，也许正因为如此，所以惊讶地让我们感动。

Label statement:

“Spring, Disco Puppet’s new EP is characterised by its irreverence towards the stylistic and procedural dictates of genres and their purists. This stems partly from ideology, but mostly from a tendency to get easily bored. But cerebral as his work is, he matches it with heart. His experiments, though nearly scientific in their rigour, are always essentially human. They come from a place of empathy and vulnerability, and perhaps because of this, they are surprisingly moving.” – Consolidate

 Shoumik Biswas占据了一个空间，在那里自动调整叙事Bon Iver（认为“Woods”）和一个爵士鼓手做一个四小时独奏可能会，同时共享一个鱼三明治。出生在加尔各答，并在印度事实上的不妥协的艺术教育学中心，班加罗尔的Srishti教育，他的现场表演看他结合现场鼓，长笛，他自己的声音在一些过程，和关闭kilter软件排序。他的*新版本，春天，听起来不像迄今印度出来的任何东西，这可能是因为班加罗尔的交通不真正允许任何人离开他们的工作室，或事实，他的标签，Consolidate，是一个艺术家们在彼此的项目上玩的乱伦空间。

标签语句：

“春天，Disco Puppet的新EP的特点是它的风格和程序性的决定的流派和他们的纯粹主义的不懈。这部分来自意识形态，但大多来自一个趋向容易无聊。但大脑作为他的工作，他与心脏匹配。他的实验，虽然在他们的严格，几乎科学，总是本质上是人类。他们来自一个同情和脆弱的地方，也许因为这一点，他们令人惊讶的移动。“
