Enter a fascinating realm where deep Indian musical traditions merge with spherical and electronic sounds.
Indian musician Arushi Jain has created a unique style that combines the rich sonic possibilities of the modular synthesizer with inspiration from the ragas of classical Indian music. The result is both beautiful and challenging, while the blend of traditional forms and modern technology feels fluid and natural in Jain's hands.
The music's drifting soundscapes and almost trance-like nature are reminiscent of some of ambient music's great pioneers, and Jain's graceful vocals add an extra poetic layer to the expression.
Jain received great acclaim for her 2021 album Under the Lilac Sky. Here, The Guardian's reviewer found an expression "that provides solace during such an uncertain and painful time". The same can be said of Jain's poignant follow-up Delight from 2024, whose music invites the audience on a meditative nocturnal journey with an even richer web of sonic detail. A revelation of musical beauty awaits when Jain unfolds her mesmerizing universe at Roskilde Festival.
