Dark

DARK, alias Roopam Garg, is an experimental composer and guitar player who has already carved his own territory of futurism and innovation in music. Drawing inspiration from numerous strains of human inquiry— architecture, geometry, nature, philosophy, and meditation— DARK’s approach to music reflects the restless and ceaselessly pursuing nature of consciousness. DARK can be described as the coming together of two opposing worlds—the world of real, organic and tactile signals of the guitar, and the world of abstract, supple ambient soundscapes. The merging of these two worlds presents music that can best be described through a cloud of sensations and aesthetics: ambient. abstract. drone. experimental. existential. minimal. noise. textures. avante-garde. industrial. surreal. lo-fi. spaces. atmospheres. pulses. organic. fluid. electronic. tape. stillness. meditation. anxiety. sleep. dissonant. introspective. progressive. light. dark. The music of DARK is less about harmonic content and more about experience. It serves as a lens in which to look at the world through—to change one’s relationship with the internal and external.
