An evening of music at the cafe
‘Returning Sound’ is a specially curated series of music programmes presented every month at the institute. The programme is curated focusing on unconventional music written by independent electronic music producers.
The series is curated by Varun Desai who says:
2022 marks the return of public music events but few of them are meant to process what has happened to humanity over the last few years. ‘Returning Sound’ has been curated to restore a sense of community using electronic music to help reintegrate group listening, reflect on our collective experiences and navigate into an incalculable future.

His work in experimental music began at an early age and has led to diverse projects around the world. At 16, he formed Queen Elephantine, the project that became his most prolific and consistent. They draw from psychedelia, doom, drone, and noise as well as free jazz and sacred music from around the world. Their latest release was a 2021 collaboration with Phurpa, the Moscow-based practitioners of ancient Tibetan chant.
More recently, Shome has been developing a solo project called Red Maya.
Other projects include the Drone Castle, a large-scale immersive sculpture and interactive live sound installation, which Shome constructed as an artist-in-residence at AS220 in Providence in 2014. He also recently created the feature film score and sound design for the thriller Higher Methods, which won the Massachusetts Independent Film Festival award for “Best Score” in 2022.
