Dualist Inquiry - Isoterra (Dal Lake Edit)

Thomas Jack feat. Adrian Symes - The Final Speech (Original Mix)

Qualia is an unfamiliar term for something that's actually very familiar to all of us. Qualia is the way things seem to us. The experience of happiness, the redness of an apple, the taste of wine, the touch of a loved one. Qualia is a word for how we experience everything around us. 

And when I got there after hours of wondering, 
I just ran my hands through my hair and said to myself: 
"It's beautiful up here" 
When you see something like what I saw, 
It's like a watching a giant ensemble do its thing, 
Only they don't know they're being watched. 
It wasn't contrived like a performer going on stage at a certain time, 
It wasn't like the creation of a masterpiece from a blueprint. 
It wasn't like anything anyone can do with their eyes open. 
It was just there. and it was beautiful. 

And I finally sat there by myself, holding my head in my hands. 
I'd been trying to believe for so long. 
It was all the proof that I needed, 
There's serious meaning in nothing, 
and unlimited joy in everything. 
Asking upside down questions, getting inside-out answers, 
Finding trails where there are none, 
and leaving my own instead. 
So I made like a sponge and absorbed away, 
Taking photographs with my eyes, 
Writing stories in my mind, 
But not forgetting to BE there at the same time, 
Because you know, memories are like picture postcards, 
and experience is actually being there. 
So when you look back tomorrow and wish it was today, 
You can wish, wish, wish away, 
and stare into space, wonder how it felt back then, 
and smile, because you remember...

Continuing his recent run of releases, Dualist Inquiry will put out a new track and video titled ‘You & Me’ on June 1. The sunny, nu-disco-influenced track with a thumping bassline is his first-ever collaboration with Delhi-based vocalist, Sanchal Malhar, who has been associated with acts like Indigo Children and Superfuzz. 

Evidently different from his other two recent releases, ‘Mayday’ and ‘Fever Dream’, ‘You & Me’ shows his unwillingness to adhere to genre classification, while focusing on what’s important to him – making music that makes an emotional connection. 

“‘You & Me’ happened very organically, almost by accident,” says Sahej Bakshi, who makes music as Dualist Inquiry. “Months before I heard Sanchal sing an unplugged set at a cafe in Delhi. When I ran into him at boxoutwednesdays in February, I suggested we try to write a tune sometime. As it turned out, we ended up having a small afterparty at my place that same night, and that’s when Sanchal recorded the vocals with a strained/hoarse throat (in his own words). He sang a line from an old song that he wrote but never recorded, and I looped it, put it through a radio filter, recorded a bassline and guitar part, and that's about it - the song was done. That same weekend, I played the song at a gig in Mumbai and the crowd requested it a second time, and I realised that it just works,” he adds. 

The artwork for ‘You & Me’ has been created by Arushi Kathuria, who has also done the animation for the video. 

For the Delhi-based electronica producer Dualist Inquiry aka Sahej Bakshi, ‘You & Me’ also marks his first venture as a director. The past 18 months saw Sahej diversify his interests into videography and filmmaking, and don the hat of a music entrepreneur. He enrolled in a filmmaking course in Prague last year, and ‘You & Me’ is the first result of that interest. 

“I realised that the song deserves its own video, and decided to shoot the music video in my basement by renting a green screen and shooting a few angles of Sanchal and I performing the song. After the shoot, I went ahead and removed all the green screens from the footage, and animated the movement of the characters on a black background. This is what I sent to Arushi, whose animations I have been a huge fan of. She did her thing and animated this bright, cartoon-y, nostalgic ’90s universe in which Sanchal and I are placed. Personally, making this video been an incredible learning experience for me, something I have wanted to do for years, and something I'd love to continue to do in the future,” Sahej says of the video.
