Expedition / Traverse by Krithi

"Expedition / Traverse," by Krithi, is a sonic exploration of the inner universe, using the vastness of space as its canvas and the journey of self-discovery as its core. Driven by dubstep, grime, drill, and other elements of bass music, Krithi weaves in South Indian percussion and Konnakol**—enriching the intricate percussion and soundscape.

This two-track EP mirrors a journey through both the cosmos and personal depths. Imagine traversing galaxies while navigating your own inner world, personal struggles and the search for meaning—all of which are expressed through the language of heavy, immersive sound, subtly accented by rhythmic textures from Krithi's musical background. This is a journey of cosmic awe and personal reckoning.

**Konnakol is a vocalized system of syllables used to represent rhythmic patterns in South Indian Carnatic music. It's an oral tradition that's used to teach and improvise compositions.
