Ruhail Qaisar
Oscillating between haunted ambient drones and harsh noise tremor, post-industrial delirium and tender melodic sketches, Ladakh based musician and artist Ruhail Qaisar explores the confines of memory, the eerie swarms of the human unconscious. He is incorporating vernacular concepts, poetic gestures, and improvisational chaos in highly evocative sonic sceneries. Based on real-life events and local mythos, his recollections of the Indian-Himalayan region whose majority’s population is tribal, his sound palette speaks of fear, anger, and alienation that condenses into a poetic, lyrical form of power electronics, a chronicle of personal and generational trauma.
