Indian Ocean
Indian Ocean is a contemporary fusion music band of Northern India. Its music is described as “Indo-rock fusion with jazz-spiced rhythms that integrates sufism, shlokas, environmentalism, mythology and revolution. The band released many albums like Desert Rain, Kandisa (known as one of India’s most original creation), Jhini and Black Friday. Indian Ocean played concerts and gigs across four continents.
Susmit Sen (Guitar, Vocals) virtually invented a new style of playing the guitar – an uncannily Indian sound where purity of scale reigns, strong melodic lines woven around the drone of open strings. Indian Ocean fans call him “the man with the golden voice”. Amazingly, Asheem Chakravarty (Tabla, Tarang, other Percussion and Vocals) sings and plays the tabla simultaneously with remarkable clarity and ease, a difficult feat almost never achieved by Indian percussionists. Rahul Ram’s(Bass Guitar, Vocals) bass playing moves smoothly – from melodic enmeshing with vocals, and guitar lines to the more standard laying of foundations over which the band soars. He is into jazz, rock and reggae - and Hindustani classical music. Amit Kilam’s (Drums, Gabgubi, Recorder & Other Precussion) drumming is a perfect balance between the conventional and non-conventional. He believes in layering rhythm rather than heavy drums, and incorporates Indian rhythms into his drumming in a unique fashion, moving in cycles of 8, 10, 12 14, 16, rather than simple 4/4 or ¾ styles.
