Introducing our new reoccurring series:
Sonic Study Hall - a dedicated listening session built around a single artist, record, or lifelong passion. A chosen selector or curator brings something they love into the room and shares the sound, the story, and their obsession. This is not background music. It is an invitation to sit with carefully selected sounds, and hear it the way someone who loves it deeply wants you to, with intention.
We welcome @dakuface to the listening room on May 17th from 2pm - 6pm for our premiere lecture #001
Daku is an artist, designer, and selector known for his immersive, archival focused performances that celebrate the rich sounds of the South Asian subcontinent. Recognized for blending traditional and contemporary sounds from both India & Pakistan, Daku’s sets are highly varied, often featuring Desi Disco, Qawwali, Bollywood Classics, Punjabi Folk, Bhangra, & Ambient Textures.
