About

Karmetik Collective

TWIN BILL w. ECCODEK f. KIRAN AHLUWALIA

Karmetik Collective is an international group of musicians, composers, scientists, engineers and artists who have assembled together in order to fuse traditional Indian classical music with modern technology that includes human-computer interfaces, robotics and artificial intelligence. The end result is electro-organic tribal dance grooves that are anything but science fiction. The maestro of this unique enterprise is Ajay Kapur electronic sitar, Music Technology Coordinator at the California Institute of the Arts. A musician at heart – he has trained on tabla, sitar and various percussion instruments – Kapur is primarily focused on getting computers to improvise with humans. To do that he has built new interfaces using special microchips and sensors that are combined with robotic musical instruments that are programmed to perform with humans. Add in some wearable sensors and other 21st century techno-tricks and you get something akin to 2008: A Sonic Odyssey.
