Involved within various cross-genre projects since 2015, his early noise shows all over India are recalled as sonic palate-cleansers, he debuted with his concept album Fatima (2023) dubbed by The Quietus as "haunting", released on Danse Noire featuring Dis Fig, and Elvin Brandhi, with a 48-page photo-book publication.
His music channels the abrasive force of noise and power-electronics into stark socio-political reflection, his work is shaped by geographic isolation and global rupture, this is music as pressure point and alarm.
The commissioned hymnal piece for Les Urbaines written in collaboration with Gottfrid Ahman and Michael Anklin , Three Hymns of Cruelty (2022), which delved into the dynamics of Ladakhi procession music, was performed at Arsenic in Lausanne.
He has performed and shown his work at the Zurich Kunsthalle, Salts City Basel, Toxi Zurich, and Gessnerallee Zurich.
He has performed at notable festivals like CTM (Berlin), UH (Budapest), Ultima (Oslo), Le Guess Who? (Utrecht), Alternativa (Prague), and Unsafe and Sounds (Vienna).
In 2024 his residency in Graz, Styria was spent, preparing a 36-channel third order ambisonic composition, Namkhay Rtsima / The Spine of the Sky, for the Musikprotokoll Festival for Austrian National radio ORF (Österreichischer Rundfunk) and the Steirischer Herbst’ 24 at the Dom im Berg.
He will be premiering his composition Nadir of Stone : Prelude to a Curved Blade at the Kochi Muziris Biennale, with a three channel installation of VHS found footage, drawing on the propensity of geodesic abstraction, fugue states tying to amnesia, sonics into hauntology, spinal landscapes, and the magmatic arc of the Ladakh batholith propelled into a keening assault of theatrical cruelty and full spectrum power-electronics.
