materials for today...by our dearest friend Nilotpal Das also known as Bios Contrast presents 20 minutes of released and upcoming music and is interested in the process of making music and what to make.
Nilotpal Das was born on 27th September 2001 in Kolkata, India. At the age of 16, he started listening to various records and got into learning electronic music production through Youtube tutorials and improvisation. By 2016 he had begun making electronic music and started doing unpaid DJ performances with his childhood friend Rohan Thakuri. Not long after the venture through electronic music, his music shifted towards instrumental and performance-oriented. In 2020 he started his solo project Bios Contrast to seek how he can experiment with storytelling through sonic pieces, real events, and physical objects.

Hello, My name is Nilotpal Das I live in Kolkata and started making dubstep around late 2016 and later got into improvising, experimenting and composing with traditional and live instruments while also building prototypes for my own instruments. I'm currently working on two project one is called 'Bios Contrast' and another one under my own name where I will release a 12 hour Harmonium Drone album. The track you're about to hear is from the sequel to my previous album 'Dragon Rising' and was made using a prototype woodwind instrument together with guitar and effects

My main works revolve around exploring the past and discovering thier languages, how they lived and what were the events that led to thier destruction I find these concepts really facinating though I have a certain way of doing things, I'm sometimes not quite sure what I'm doing with my music I feel like I have too many ideas and I'm too strict on what I want to work on, part of the reason I think is because I don't recieve any kind of constructive criticism or feedback on my work in short I'm looking for bad reviews because that way I will atleast have a different point of view on my music other than my own.
This next track is called 'The Fog Of War' which is coming out as a part of a compilation Ambient Layers Vol.II on 7K

I always wanted to play my Harmonium with my two hands so a few weeks earlier an idea very spontaniously came down that if I could install my spare 8000 rpm cpu fan at the back of my harmonium I could play it with both my hands without having to vello it.
Wrapping this up mix or whatever you may call this, another unreleased track called 'Forgotten Waters' it was composed only using the harmonium and running the cpu through very high resitance wires and will be out via another compilation on Swiss noise label Czarnagora I don't know how it's pronouced pardon my language.
