Sound artist and researcher Dr Amit Dinesh Patel who has a PhD in Music, “Studio Bench: the DIY nomad and Noise Selector”
(2019), from the Music, Technology and Innovation Research Centre, De
Montfort University, Leicester, UK, now works at the Sound/Image Research Centre, University of Greenwich, and is leading the AHRC Research Grant "Exploring Cultural Diversity in Experimental Sound" (2021-23), which has recently resulted in the release of a new compilation on London label Nonclassical. Amit who compiled and features on the album positions the project in response to the "distinct lack of visibility for Black and Brown artists within the field of experimental music & sound”. The album entitled Disruptive Frequencies features music from six Black and South Asian producers. The artwork has been designed by Antonio Roberts.
There’s a launch party at London’s Kings Place on July 15th. You can sample two of the pieces featured on the album and order on limited edition vinyl or digital at Nonclassical's Bandcamp webpage.
The launch party will be an evening of experimental sounds by Black and South Asian artists NikNak, Dhangsha, Nikki Sheth, Poulomi Desai, Gary Stewart and Dushume. You can find more info at the Kings Place's website. Don't miss it!
