Effective period / Period of releases: 2021

Members: Theresa Stroetges, Varun Desai

German-Indian band, formed in November 2018, when the Berlin-based musician Theresa Stroetges came to Kolkata for a two-month artist residency organized by the Goethe-Institut and Musicboard Berlin in collaboration with the Border Movement initiative. Wanting to collaborate with local musicians rather than working in isolation, she reached out to Varun Desai for recommendations. Once the promoter, synth nerd and solo artist had sent her some of his own pieces, he was the first to come on board. Soon thereafter, Stroetges and Desai were joined by the double bass player and session musician Debjit Mahalanobis and the songwriter Suyasha Sengupta.
