Percussionist, producer and composer, Talvin Singh, is renowned for creating
the bridge between Indian and electronic music. Drawing Inspiration from the
classical Indian arts, he has managed to sculpt a unique sonic landscape.
Singh’s synthesis of electronic music and eastern aesthetic, is often referred to
as Asian Underground, one of the most exciting movements in the history of
British music.
He has taken the Tabla to the cutting edge with the most unimaginable sonic
creations, which has ultimately helped him to demystify Indian classical music,
and therefore inspire a whole new generation of musicians and producers of
contemporary music in India and the south Asian diaspora worldwide. Singh’s
influence has also spanned to the visual arts, dance and film.
Having worked and collaborated with a diverse range of artists, such as, Sun Ra,
the late Ustad Sultan Khan, Terry Riley, John Martyn and Yoko Ono, he still
continues to be as explorative and imaginative in his solo career as well as
curating new ventures in contemporary music.
Singh’s debut album, titled OK, achieved huge acclaim and won Singh the
Mercury Music Prize in 1999. .
