Imagine if a diary could hum.

If every hesitation, every unfinished thought, had its own frequency. That is what Swiss producer Amaranth/Amaryllis seems to be doing, wiring emotion to electricity, turning uncertainty itself into composition .....

Classical Grief, Digital Tears (the Trilogy) - Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake Reimagined by Insect Orchestra.

Grief is not linear, nor is it polite. It interrupts our most beautiful moments with raw, unfiltered emotion. This set captures that feeling by fracturing Swan Lake, the legendary 1877 ballet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's (1840-1893) with contemporary underground electronic music. The idea is to break something beautiful and rebuild it into something truthful.

UNEASY LISTENING BY INSECT ORCHESTRA

WHAT IT IS
Uneasy Listening is a methodology. A deliberate disruption of comfort, expectation, and the passive consumption that defines most musical experience today. It exists in the spaces between familiar sounds, in the moments when recognition collides with disorientation.

THE PHILOSOPHY
Music has been weaponised for comfort, to escape, for easy consumption, for maintaining the status quo. Uneasy Listening refuses this contract. It demands active engagement from the audience, not through aggression or volume, but through discomfort; emotional, intellectual, sonic.

We live in times where everything is designed to soothe, to sedate, to confirm our biases, to keep us scrolling, consuming, never questioning.

Uneasy Listening creates friction.

It asks: Why are you comfortable with this? What assumptions are you making? What histories are you ignoring?

THE GENESIS
Uneasy Listening emerged from witnessing the slow violence of RURAL DECAY: the far-right winning rural elections in Assam, Northeast India. Not headline violence, but the quiet forgetting. Farmers who stop farming, weavers who stop weaving, Bihu songs fading into static on buses to big cities.

This led to DHOOMKETU: WHEN A VILLAGE DECAYS. Documenting how communities lose their cultural anchors and become susceptible to different promises, different lies.

LINK: https://hearthis.at/kamakhya-records-pe/dhoomkuwhenavlgedecays/

From rural decay came WAR. The India-Pakistan conflict demanded ANTI-GOD, a four-part sonic war poem moving from EROSION (peace sitting absurdly next to violence) through CONFRONTATION (hope trembling against air raid sirens) to RECURSION (everything played backward, asking if reversing trauma lessens it) and finally SIMULACRA (war as branding exercise, suffering as content, rage as performance).

Link to EROSION, CONFRONTATION, RECURSION:
https://hearthis.at/kamakhya-records-pe/erosion-confrontation-recursion/

Link to SIMULACRA: https://hearthis.at/kamakhya-records-pe/simulacra/

From war came AFTERMATH. PRAYER FOR THE BROKEN. Fractured light, shifting moods, emotions unfolding in their own time. The contemplative aftermath where brokenness deserves witness, maybe even reverence.

LINK: https://hearthis.at/kamakhya-records-pe/prayer-for-the-broken/c

Then came PIETA REIMAGINED – FOR THE CHILDREN OF GAZA. A mourning reconfigured for screens and static. A mother holding absence, pixels weeping where flesh once was. Sacred lament fractured through some of the finest post World War 2 composers. A digital mourning, half sacred, half shattered.

LINK: https://hearthis.at/kamakhya-records-pe/pieta-reimagined/

Now comes GENERATIONAL UPRISING: BEHIND THE GRIEF (in Progress), inspired by Nepal’s Gen Z protests. Young people carrying the weight of promises their grandparents were given but never received. The sarangi's ancient voice fractured by the graveyard of broken screens. Personal lullabies bridging collective political grief.

THE AUDIENCE CONTRACT

Uneasy Listening makes no promises of resolution, catharsis, or comfort. It offers no easy emotional release. Instead, it provides something more valuable: the discomfort necessary for genuine reflection.
The audience cannot remain passive consumers. They must confront their own assumptions, their own comfort with injustice, their own historical amnesia.

WHY NOW
We live in algorithmic echo chambers that predict and feed us exactly what we want to hear. Uneasy Listening is the antidote to this predictability. It is musical practice as resistance, not just against political systems, but against the entire infrastructure of easy consumption.

In a world designed for scrolling, Uneasy Listening forces stillness. In a culture of instant gratification, it demands patience with discomfort. In an era of surface-level engagement, it requires depth.

THE PROMISE
Uneasy Listening promises nothing except necessity. In times of crisis—political, social, environmental, spiritual—easy listening is complicity. Uneasy Listening is survival. It is the sound of systems failing, of promises broken, of the gap between what was supposed to be and what actually is. It is the grief behind the rage, the silence after the scream, the question that has no comfortable answer.

It is about bearing witness in the ruins, where sound refuses comfort and insists on survival.

Rs 30,000 (340 USD) RAISED so far for the RENOVATION FUNDRAISER OF LYNTI KHASI SCHOOL

Thanks to the 22 kind souls 🙏❤️

Some of you donated directly and some of you bought music from our Bandcamp page 🙏❤️

Our TARGET is ₹50,000 (567USD). And we have accomplished 60% of our target already in one month.

RENOVATION FUNDRAISER FOR LYNTI KHASI SCHOOL started on August 04 with the release of SOUNDS OF THE ISAGARH UNDERGROUND by Psisick from Isagarh, Madhya Pradesh.

Kamakhya Records has been supporting the Lynti Khasi School since June 2017.

Two supporters from the Kamakhya Records community now contribute to the monthly salaries of the two teachers — an ongoing act of solidarity.

Another kind soul is supporting Jonita Nongrum, a bright student and Lynti Khasi pass out, by covering her school and hostel fees as she pursues higher studies. She is now in Class XI.

Funds we have received — through music purchases on our Bandcamp page and donations from our supporters — have also gone directly towards rebuilding the school.

What was once a small thatch hut has slowly transformed into a classroom with proper roofing, a verandah, and a concrete floor.

It is still simple — but it is steady. It is real. And it belongs to the children and the community that built it.

But the work isn’t over.

The school now needs to be renovated.

Thank you Psisick (India), Atul Patel (India), Modular Morshed (Iran), Praroha (India), Gamaka (India), Nehebkau (India), Amaranth/Amaryllis (Switzerland) Raakh (India), Op_bit_live (India), Swarnabha Gupta (India) Ayesha Gardner (India) and Sanathana (India) for supporting the renovation fundraiser with their music, art and expertise 🙏❤️

Let us build further. 🙏❤️

Let us build better. 🙏❤️

প্ৰচণ্ড ধুমুহাই প্ৰশ্ন কৰিলে মোক (The raging storm questioned me) - PART 1 . ডঃ ভূপেন হাজৰিকা (Dr. Bhupen Hazarika)

প্ৰচণ্ড ধুমুহাই প্ৰশ্ন কৰিলে মোক (The raging storm questioned me)

তোমাৰ প্ৰাপ্য কি কোৱা ? (Tell me, what is it you deserve?)

মনৰ দুৱাৰ মেলি নিৰ্ভীকভাৱে কʼলো (I opened the doors of my heart, and fearlessly I said)

তোমাৰ শক্তিখিনি দিয়াঁ (Give me your strength)

বজ্ৰৰ গৰ্জনে বক্ষ উজাৰি কʼলে (With a thunderous roar, Thunder, chest thrown open, asked)

তোমাৰ কাম্য কি কোৱাঁ ? (Tell me, what do you seek?)

মই কʼলোঁ বজ্ৰক, তোমাৰ শক্তিশালী উদাত্ত কণ্ঠটি দিয়াঁ (I said to Thunder, Give me your powerful, exalted voice)
.. প্ৰচণ্ড ধুমুহাই প্ৰশ্ন কৰিলে মোক (The raging storm questioned me) is not just Dr Bhupen Hazarika’s conversation with storm, thunder, and sky. It is his way of claiming power, voice, and vision for humanity.

Today the storm questions us: writers, musicians, filmmakers, painters, dancers, designers, storytellers. Will we answer with silence, or turn our rage into something beautiful?

Art is not escape. It is voice. It is vision. It is resistance. Every work is a chance to shape struggles into strength, dreams into direction, voices into power.

Let us create fearlessly. Let us speak boldly. Let us imagine generously.

The storm has spoken. Now it is our turn.

GOA PAST AND FUTURE MIX

This isn’t just a DJ set, it is half music and half séance, half history and half critique!!
Fragments of Goa’s past: voices of the freaks, saints, dropouts, and prophets, spliced with the weight of now. Some gone, some still hanging on, all tangled in the static of memory.

Black Metaphor soundtracks the journey – heavy, restless, ritualistic.
Play it loud. Burn some incense if you must. Raise a glass to the OGs.
The party never really ended. It just mutated into the sh*tshow you see now.
