“Sound objects” is how Berlin electronic music artist André Schöne calls the instruments produced at Svaram here in Auroville; the term lends a ready insight into his indelibly fresh take on acoustic-electronic fusions. The ‘crossover’ continuum has steadily become a no-man’s-land (that is, for the faint of heart), the landscape littered with all too many […]
