At Cosmic Compositions, we’ve long felt there was a similarity between the avant-garde/free jazz scene of the 50s/60s and the modern beat generation. Both movements aimed to deconstruct, expand and rewire the conventions of their genres of origin, and were never afraid to experiment or work outside the commercial framework of the time. With our Avant Garde Series, we connected the dots between the two, paying homage to Empire State Musicians like Pharoah Sanders, Alice Coltrane, and Sun-Ra along the way. 

In more recent years, we’ve sensed kindred spirit between jazz-infected beat music, and the new generation of lo-fi funk, psychedelia, noise, and folk musicians operating around the globe. While we’ve been feeling our way towards this liminal zone with projects from the likes of Mr. Armish, Affsid Kidjhagiffy, Aporia, and our Way Out compilation, jitwam’s new album ज़ितम सिहँ might be the most beautiful expression of it we’ve released yet. 

Born in Assam, Gauhati, in Northeast India, but currently based in New York’s storied borough of Brooklyn, jitwam spent his formative years in New Zealand and Australia, before living in monasteries in Thailand, orphanages in South Africa, and washed out apartments in London. Of everywhere and nowhere, his music draws influence from a litany of iconoclasts including, but not limited to RD Burman, Moondog, The Velvet Underground, Yayoi Kusama, Jay Electronica, Jay Dilla, Moodymann, Leon Thomas, Madlib and Asha Bhosle. 

Across the album he utilises knowledge acquired through years spent digging through dusty crates, and talents honed as a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and vocalist. A series of stumbling, jazz/soul-rooted beat sculptures, each buried beneath a haze of fuzzy psychedelia, broken microphone blues, and articulated through a freestyled process he describes as “first thought, best thought”, ज़ितम सिहँ solidifies jitwam's spot as a major emerging talent. 

Recalling the fourth world dreamscapes explored by oddball songwriters like Connan Mockasin, Clarence Clarity, Jai Paul, Silicon, and Unknown Mortal Orchestra, it represents a time of transition and remembrance for jitwam, while still fulfilling the core qualities he looks for in song. In his words, “Music is a refuge. A shelter from the storm. A place you can go to close your eyes.” 

Since he first shared his music with IZWID Records boss Kutmah at a Brainfeeder afterparty in London, jitwam has released through Leaving Records, Cosmic Compositions, and The Jazz Diaries (the label he co-runs with Casey Van Reyk and Nigel Mphisa). He’s also written with Inkswel (BBE) and Paul White (R&S), featured on Moodymann’s K7! DJ Kicks compilation and been championed by Gilles Peterson, Alexander Nut, Andrew Jervis (Bandcamp), and Funkineven. Mixed and mastered by Matthew David at Stones Throw studios in Los Angeles, ज़ितम सिहँ will be available on vinyl and digital formats through Cosmic Compositions / hhv.de.

jitwam. - I Ain't Scared Of No Devil Feat. Dj Godfrey Ho

Serenading a brick wall  
recorded by Ceschi
mastered by Filthybroke MJC  (http://www.filthybroke.com)

When I was young I used to scream 
And hope the world would hear me 
I'm growing quieter every year 
Writing for those who listen 

Serenading a Brick Wall 
That’s all 

Some cops they put guns to my head 
And called me fucking faggot 
Today I do not hate those men 
Mostly feel sorry for them 

They work as pawns 
Defending laws 
That are so flawed 
They’ll spend a lifetime misinformed 

When I was young I used to dream of utopias and heavens 
I’ll probably never see those things
But live as if they’ll exist 


There’s possibilities Beyond  
What we’ve got. 
And If I settle before I’m gone 
Then Im lost 

If no one ever hears this song 
well so what? 
I serenaded a brick wall

Helsinki's so boring without you, 
I miss when you were here
All that I can think about is things we never did
I wonder if you still think about me,
cause I think of you a lot,
and all that I can think about is if you'll come around
I'm serious I'm really sorry,
I don't mean to make you worry,
from now on I'll leave a message if I'm going somewhere
I'm hoping that we can talk more in the future, also right now, all I wanna do is live my life together with you and have a dog
I wanna have a dog

Helsinki's So Boring Without You

Not on Culture II, but it would be cool!
