TSC11: Goin' Down the Hole with Chandan Narayan (Carrom)
Listen now
Description
For this episode, we hand over the reigns to Toronto-based experimental guitarist, improvisational artist, and DIY label owner, Chandan Narayan, of the musical project, Carrom, who released two excellent tapes and a corresponding compilation of those two releases ("Alter​-​destinies​/​Prehistories"). We discuss Chandan’s musical lineage leading up to Carrom, weird Arizona musical connections, the relevancy of cultural heritage in music, and then jump into a track-by-track playlist of sounds that inspire him and Carrom. Everything from SST punk to South Indian classical sounds to weirdo avant-rock shows up here and it’s really fun to go back and listen to the Carrom material after taking in this wide-ranging playlist, which is why you should pick up the latest Carrom tape or the “Alter-Destinies/Prehistories” LP at carronboard.bandcamp.com Also check out the Radio Khiyaban label who jointly put out the “Alter-Destinies” cassette at radiokhiyaban.bandcamp.com/musicFollow Chandan on Twitter at twitter.com/GutStringMore of these handing the aux episodes to come.
