"(Indian) Furs" is the first from a series of sound works based on the field recordings technique, made exclusively with sounds recorded in a specific area of ​​the world. The project takes its name from the furry cover that is applied on microphones as wind protection, together with the area where the sounds were sampled: the first part is India indeed, where the artist has traveled in Summer 2016 , between Rajasthan’s vilages, Uttar Pradesh’s ruins and Kerala’s mangroves.

Released after “Novanta” (Fresh Yo! - 42 Records, 2015), a concept album focused on the theme of the metropolis as intersection point between different cultures and related sounds, "(Indian) Furs" is another gaze on world’s musical traditions; instead, it explores them individually each time, recording the sound of religious processions, taxi radios, night birds. The succession of the two productions underlines a complementary relationship, where the melting pot is opposed to the specificity of a tradition, the urban landscape to the natural one. These recent Go Dugong’s productions thus testify a sincere and rational path, of artistic introspection as much as musical deepening.

"(Indian) Furs" is a journey in which a Zoom H4n is the diary, continuously recording voices and noises, both human and animal. This taxonomic archive made of raw sounds, now filtered through effects and loops - with a way more instinctive approach compared to previous productions - creates a vivid and dark stratification. Ceremonial drums and fornicating Cicadidae blend into a hypnotic pattern: a frantic nature cycle alternating wonder and bestiality, chaos as the primordial balance. 

---------------------------------------

”(Indian) Furs" è la prima di una serie di opere sonore basate sulla tecnica del field recording e realizzate esclusivamente con suoni registrati in una specifica zona del mondo. Il progetto prende il suo nome dalla copertura in pelliccia che viene applicata come protezione antivento sui microfoni, unitamente all’area in cui i suoni sono stati campionati: la prima parte è appunto l’India, dove l’artista ha viaggiato nell’estate 2016, tra i villaggi del Rajasthan, le rovine di Uttar Pradesh e le mangrovie del Kerala.

Pubblicato dopo "Novanta" (Fresh Yo! - 42 Records, 2015), concept album incentrato sul tema della metropoli come punto di intersecazione tra diverse culture e relative sonorità, "(Indian) Furs" è un altro sguardo sulle tradizioni musicali di tutto il mondo, che però sviscera individualmente volta per volta, registrando i suoni delle processioni religiose, le radio dei taxi, gli uccelli notturni. Il susseguirsi delle due produzioni evidenzia un rapporto di complementarietà, in cui il melting pot si contrappone alla specificità di una tradizione, il paesaggio urbano a quello naturale. Le recenti produzioni di Go Dugong testimoniano così un percorso sentito e razionale, di introspezione artistica quanto di approfondimento musicale.

"(Indian) Furs" è un viaggio in cui il diario è uno Zoom H4n che registra ininterrottamente voci e rumori, umani ed animali. Questo schedario tassonomico di suoni grezzi, ora filtrati da effetti e loop ma con un approccio più istintivo rispetto alle produzioni precedenti, dà vita a una stratificazione vivida e oscura. Percussioni cerimoniali e Cicadidi fornicanti si fondono in un pattern ipnotico: il ciclo frenetico della natura nel suo alternare meraviglia e bestialità, il caos come equilibrio primordiale.

(Indian) Furs

End of Summer takes us deep into scattered percussion and rolling breaks. Deep chords create the perfect base for sweeping fx, swelling vocal pads and distant woodwind layers. All of these elements work in perfect harmony as they build and rise to the addition of a jazz infused trumpet that takes the lead melody and expands with its own unique sound and progressions. King Shi effortlessly takes all this mixture of sounds and combines them to create a truly awe-inspiring soundscape

Liner Notes: 
Delhi-based electronica producer comes out of 18-month hiatus with a sample-laden, texture-heavy production announcing a new sonic direction for one of Indian electronica’s most popular producers 

Released on his own label, Dualism Records, ‘Mayday’ is a confident step into new sonic territory for the Delhi-based producer. Dualist Inquiry’s guitar-inflected, dancefloor-friendly productions placed him at front and centre at the new wave of Indian electronica, but the producer’s latest release shows just how reluctant he is to be subjected to classification of that nature. 

‘Mayday’, perhaps tellingly, begins with a sample of a harried pilot on the radio who is shouting ‘I don’t know where I am! Mayday, mayday, mayday’ who eventually aborts the mission. The production, layered in sounds and textures, sees Sahej Bakshi leave his pop-oriented, guitar-driven sound behind for one that’s high on emotion and synths, and far more experimental than anything he has done. 

"After my last release in 2016, I took a step back and decided to not write any new music until I felt an irrepressible urge, a need to express something. That something ended up being this feeling of falling freely, a mindset that has dominated a few recent phases of my personal journey. As the months went by, I felt my feet firmly on the ground again, and realised that I needed write a song to capture that specific feeling before it fades into my past." - Dualist Inquiry 

The artwork for the release has been created by Sijya Gupta and features a man free falling from space, reflective of Sahej's frame of mind. 

Dualist Inquiry will also release another track, ‘Fever Dream’ on May 4. 

The past 18 months saw Sahej diversify his interests into videography and filmmaking, and also donned the hat of a music entrepreneur. He enrolled in a filmmaking course at FAMU in Prague, and has in fact, directed the videos for his soon-to-be-released tracks ‘Mayday’ and ‘Fever Dream’. He also spent the last few months setting up Boxout.fm – an online community radio that completed a year in April 2018 – as a co-founder along with DJ MoCity.

Mastered by John Webber at Air Studios London.
