Listening Session -- Where the Ice meets the Water by sound artist Tarun Balani

As part of our exhibition, 28°North and Parallel Weathers, Khoj organised an incense ceremony around artist Katie Paterson’s work titled, ‘To Burn, Forest, Fire’.

Following the incense ceremony, there was a listening session with artist Tarun Balani, who performed a set from his latest digital album, Where the Ice Meets the Water, which is aimed to deliver a message about climate change through the sonic.

Tarun Balani

Regarded as one of the finest jazz drummers and composers in India, Tarun Balani’s sonic footprint as a musician is well established. With Seasonal Affected Beats he brings the finesse, controlled volatility and discipline of jazz and merges it with electronic music, resulting in a powerful, evocative and often synth-driven storytelling that can be heard on his EP ‘2°’ and album ‘Where the Ice Meets the Water’.

Commissioned by Khoj International Artists’ Association. Khoj's participation in World Weather Network is supported by the British Council’s Creative Commissions for Climate Action, a global programme exploring climate change through art, science and digital technology.
