mukul

artistic codirector of ambientTV.NET

mukul plays with various media, but particularly sound and text, to explore relationships between rule-bound forms (both classical and novel) and chance, between technology and tradition, and between signal/data/music and noise. An interest in the grammars of different media has naturally led to diverse collaborations, and to works utilizing hybrid media. His sound work is informed by OuLiPo, Indian music, and the "gradual process" idea. Another major interest, the spatialisation of sound, informed site-specific installations in Delhi, New York and London in 2005.

He has worked extensively with dance in a range of environments, from underground electronic clubs in the 1990s (notably, in London: Talvin Singh’s Anokha and Calcutta Cyber Café), through to more formal settings by contemporary choreographers such as Russell Maliphant, Akram Khan, and Shobana Jeyasingh.
