Bhati, Ketan - Nodding Terms
SKU
34-COL 16005
"New music and groove does it work and does it exist? Musical crossover artist Ketan Bhatti thinks so. On 'Nodding Terms' he melds contemporary chamber music with current club music.
To this end, the composer, drummer and producer invited the German-Icelandic Ensemble Adapter into his studio and involved his studio neighbors Paul Frick and Jan Brauer from Brandt Brauer Frick in the production process. The musicians all studied classical instruments and know about pop, so acoustic traces become electronic tracks in a wondrous way.
Dry grooves grow into iridescent shimmering ensemble sounds. The borders between genres and styles blur and dissolve. This is music that without fail makes the listener nod along as per the album title. Not just because of its beat, but because it's clever, too.
Ketan Bhatti was born in New Delhi in 1981, grew up in Bielefeld, and now lives in Berlin, where he writes music for theater and dance. Together with his brother Vivan he has produced and composed music for many years for productions of the Berlin breakdance group Flying Steps, which tours internationally."
