Sunken Cages

Sunken Cages is the moniker of Ravish Momin, an Indian-born drummer, electronic music producer and educator. Momin also privately studied with Jazz master-drummer Andrew Cyrille. His unique approach quickly led him to work as a sideman with a diverse cast of musicians ranging from pop-star Shakira to legendary US avant-saxophonist Kalaparusha Maurice McIntyre (of the AACM). He led the acclaimed Global/Jazz/Electronic band Tarana (members included Jason Kao Hwang, Tanya Kalmanovitch, Brandon Terzic, Rick Parker and many others) on international stages for 14 years and recorded several albums to critical acclaim. He currently collaborates with multi-instrumentalist dragonchild and leads the live electronic music duo 'Turning Jewels Into Water' with Haitian electronic music pioneer Val Jeanty.

For the past decade, Momin has been experimenting with enhancing his acoustic drum sounds with electronic ones, and has crafted a unique electro-acoustic approach. He triggers sounds and textures, layers live-loops and manipulates them ‘on the fly’, to blur the lines between composition and improvisation
He will release his follow-up EP on the UK based OnTheCorner Records in the Spring of 2024.
