Dinzu Artefacts:

"Echo of Being / Grace in Rot is a powerful sonic meditation on grief by the duo Neti-Neti, composed of vocalist Amirtha Kidambi and percussionist Matt Evans. The project originated from improvisation sessions born out of personal loss, evolving from an intimate exchange into a practice that bridges the personal and the political.

In early 2024, producer Nick Zanca worked with Kidambi and Evans to capture their evolving sound in a full studio setting. Recorded in a single day at a West Village studio with engineer Sarah Galdes, the session unfolded as an unbroken flow, propelled by the immediacy of live energy and the duo’s deep improvisational connection. Here, Kidambi’s voice moves fluidly between South Asian vocal traditions and extended techniques, amplified and reshaped through real-time processing, delays, and layers of harmonic distortion. Evans’ percussion becomes both rhythmic engine and textural sculpture, his drums and cymbals feeding into samplers, effects, and loops that refract each gesture into new shapes. Both musicians harness feedback—not as background noise, but as a visceral, structural force—letting sustained tones and resonances pulse through the body like a physical presence.

The result is a sound world that fuses syncopated grooves, cathartic outbursts, and meditative drones into a ritualistic electroacoustic space. At times sparse and suspended, at times dense with surging overtones, the music channels the corporeal force of feedback and the psychoacoustic play of sustained tones, evoking both the sacred drones of Eliane Radigue and the raw immediacy of This Heat’s rhythmic noise. A haunting final take, performed in total darkness, captures the duo at their most immersive—an enveloping, almost otherworldly experience in which the air itself seems to vibrate with loss and memory.

Echo of Being / Grace in Rot draws its emotional weight from both personal bereavement and the collective grief of our era, shaped by the relentless feed of traumatic images and news. The record challenges listeners to confront these overwhelming realities, transforming mourning into a shared act of resistance and healing. It reclaims humanity amidst the unimaginable, offering not only a document of sound but a space for reflection, embodiment, and resilience. "
