Paul will share his research into the history of India’s first electronic music studio founded in Ahmedabad, Gujarat in 1969. Based at the National Institute of Design and built around a Moog modular system brought by the New York composer David Tudor, Paul will discuss the unique circumstances surrounding the birth of electronic music in India and its links to radical education, Modernist design and the South Asian techno-imaginary. And in turn how this research informed his recent commission ‘Tape Music’ for Supersonic Festival as part of the New Music Biennial.
