for the naviarhaiku436:
lightning thunder
and rain
all speaking at once

Elancharan Gunasekaran is inspired by Dadaist movements, butoh and anarchism. He believes that humans are capable of governing themselves without the need of political systems. His art often involves experimenting with visual and literary forms on the raw aspects of the human condition, climate change and man-made/ natural phenomena.

concept of a trip

Distractors

I'm under the branches
In the shadow of the tree,
To listen to the tales
of a long gone history.

If you believe 
in revenging ghosts,
from a lack of future
you'll suffer the most.

Out in the field 
looking for a trace
of a kindred spirit 
or familiar face

Trying to make sense of it all
don't listen to distractors

Why, we feel so rejected
Try focus, we've got nothing left to loose

I'm getting mixed feelings
as I'm watching the screen
Scrolling down this endless
stream of misery.

Remorse and regrets
I get sidetracked all the time
In a lapse of reason
loosing control
the pretty pair of truth or dare
acts as if the devil may care

Distractors

The Mongol Princess is a conceptual EP/soundtrack Mood Exhibit released in July 2017.
moodexhibit.bandcamp.com/album/the-mongol-princess

It is an audio story of a young, beautiful, and kind princess that died tragically by disease at an early age. The music reflected her stages of life with emotion and textures of various ethnic and acoustic instruments. It remains my most passionate musical project.

This EP is a document of her return; in spirit form, as a legend. These tracks retain the same feel as the original, but with a more grandiose and mystical flavor, and mixed minor electronics.

I had asked fellow electronic artist Belial Pelegrim to collaborate on 2 tracks for this EP. These 2 tracks showcase his brilliant production and vision, fitting perfectly to the mythology of The Princess.
