Praveen

A bad dream shook me in my sleep, woke up sweating

About Me

I’ve been making electronic beats for most of my life... I’ve released melodic electronic tracks on Ai Records , Expanding Records and Neo Ouija . My debut album, "Backed By Spirits" is out on Neo Ouija . Currently working on an EP featuring recordings of instruments I’ve played at Leopard Studio . Be sure to check out PercussionLab.Com , a combination of a nonstop stream of the illest underground electronic music and downloadable exclusive featured Live and DJ sets.
Praveen’s interactive sound installation for the Bushwick Art Project , Patriot, Hacked, offers participants the ability to control the one thing we seem to have lost the most control over, our president. An interesting fusion of sound design, interactivity and political dissatisfaction, Patriot, Hacked, invites participants to reverse the continuing cycle of manipulation with literally a wave of their hand.
