Border Movement presents Soundcamp

A multilayered music scene is blossoming between Colombo and Delhi, Tehran and Karachi—an amalgam of South Asian music traditions and imports ranging from electronic tinkering to UK Bass, shoegazing, and krautrock. Soundcamp and Border Movement interlink these structures. With sound-nomad Khan of Finland moderating, they will present the highlights of Soundcamp South Asia 2012, held in Sri Lanka.

Sohrab’s debut album “A Hidden Place” (Touch Music) is defined by wide-open, placeless soundscapes, fragmented and full of reminiscences. His seven-inch single “Between Strangers” was recorded in a refugee shelter in the eastern German town of Eisenhüttenstadt. Lifafa creates imaginary soundscapes that, in unstable timecodes and unpredictable dramatics, are open in all directions, from dark ambient to the local Chudai Step dance sound, to disco and jazz. DynoMan of Karachi describes his music, created with synthesizers and samples from his home recording studio, as “melodic experimental stories.” The transcontinental pop experiment Solar Eyes plays with closeness and distance between Massachusetts and Karachi, and with its proclivities for hip-hop, psychedelia, ambient, French piano music, and jazz. Rahul Anand, Gebrüder Teichmann, DJ Asvajit, Jackmate, and Ron Schneider aka Raumagent Alpha team up as Monitor Lizards to transgress musical borders … and not just between house and techno.
