Delhi Sensate by Various Artists
This collection of songs brings together some of the myriad voices that emerge in the city of Delhi, where multiple realities collide and co-exist. They take the form of politically explosive affirmations, social satire, intimate yearnings, fragmented memories and echoes of individual and collective desire. Like the ephemeral nature of the city itself, these tracks shift between diverse genres, styles, languages, sounds, sensibilities and textures to create a sense of the alchemy of a place.
The third edition of the Norient City Sounds series is moored in Delhi, India, as it tunes in to a polyphony of voices, songs, sounds, and narratives that reimagine and unconceal the various worlds and characters constituting the capital’s sonicities. NCS Delhi unpacks and complicates the notion of the city by scattering it into its many cities with their colliding histories, rhythms, tales, and desires. Through a collection of sound pieces, texts, films, photo-essays, conversations, graphic artworks, and more, #DelhiSensate evokes the deeply layered and composite sensorium of a city that both senses and is sensed in a multitude of ways. Curated by Suvani Suri.
