Aniruddha Das (https://soundcloud.com/dhangsha) is an electronic musician and educator working at the interface of bass culture and experimental noise. He composes through live improvisation, guided by the principles of minimalism, repetition and fragmentation, creating turbulent soundscapes he describes as “industrial dancehall.” With his considerable experience as a dub producer, he understands the cultural and political implications of low end frequencies and brings those sensibilities with him to his sound art practice. He is fascinated by the possibilities of experimental music infiltrating or having a greater impact on popular culture. Known for his visceral live shows, he has performed under the moniker of Dhangsha (Bengali for ‘destruction’) throughout the UK, Europe and Colombia. With his sister project DSPSSSSD (dispossessed), he explores deeper in to non-metric noise and drone culture.  
 
“What was a crucial sound experience in your life?”
An ongoing crucial sound experience was as an eight year old, listening to his transistor radio at night. Tuning between stations on the shortwave dial, he would hear interference and fluctuating frequencies. He found the sounds comforting and imagined he was receiving messages from Aliens. In retrospect he realised it was probably the first time he considered ‘noise’ to be ’normal.’

MNEMOSYNE #064 - CONFIG_ALIAS

Born in Bucharest, Romania in a middle-class family, a bit before the country’s communist structure collapsed under the weight of history, chance led her to begin classical music lessons (violin) at the age of 7. Struggling in her 30's KITE left Romania for Switzerland (Basel) to study free improvisation and pursue opportunities that aligned with her interest in inter- and transdisciplinary works.

“Within my present creative work, electroacoustic sound intertwines with spoken word and visual elements to create embodied experiences that facilitate self-reflection, while experimenting with the potential of hybrid forms of expression and formats.
Narratives of identity - identification / self-fragmentation / alienation are themes questioned from social, technological, and deeply personal perspectives.
I believe in the potentiality of sound to act as a vehicle for both individual and social change, using its capacity to facilitate reflection, empathy and compassion through re-contextualizing internal and external phenomena, by crossing boundaries and transcending labels.
Above all, I am a Deep Listener.”

“What was a crucial sound experience in your life?”
The encounter with Pauline Oliveros' Deep Listening teachings more than 11 years ago has been the foundation for shaping my relationship to sound as I was questioning becoming myself.
