Each Dream, A Melting Door (ANTI-) is Bhatia’s first solo release since co-scoring 2023’s Academy Award-winning Best Picture Everything Everywhere All At Once with his bandmates in Son Lux, where they earned Oscar and BAFTA nominations for their head-spinning score and worked with David Byrne, André Benjamin, and Mitski.
New technological integrations have allowed Bhatia to merge his last decade of development as an electroacoustic composer back into his practice as an improvising guitarist, using real-time sampling and manipulation to express and develop multiple worlds of sound at once. As a result, it’s easy to forget that everything audible on this EP besides the piano is…guitar.
Forwards and in reverse, up and down the octaves, Bhatia multiplies the sound of the instrument, transfiguring it into an orchestra of whistling wind tunnels, booming sub-sonics, storms of noise and melodic waves that combust and fragment.
Each Dream, A Melting Door is out on the 21st of February, and it’s first instalment “The Voice of Love”, is available above.
