‘knordest’ is the artistic identity of Ishaan Jagyasi, a recording engineer, music producer, spatial audio specialist, creative technologist, audio visual artist and drummer from Mumbai, India. ‘knordest’ was born out of Ishaan’s curiosity and passion for exploring music at the intersection of technology, human psychology and modern art. His music carries an emotional resonance along with intricate sound design that provides an immersive listening environment and delivers an other-worldly aural experience. Even though most of his musical work is inspired by genres like Electronica and Experimental, his music is a blend of genres such as Hindustani Classical, Orchestral, Ambient, IDM, Melodic Techno and more. During his time at Berklee College of Music, Valencia, Spain, he researched and experimented with spatial audio in Binaural, Ambisonic and Dolby Atmos (Object Based) format, which gave birth to a 3D audio project called ‘Syncope’, a 5 track EP made for spatial audio format. He is currently releasing his first single from this project, called ‘Kismet’, which is inspired by the Hindustani Classical Folklore about 'Tansen' and how his singing used to bring down rains and thunder. It is a fusion of Electronica and Hindustani Classical genre, made into a modern sounding emotion driven track that depicts an intense scene of Tansen singing in a temple, transporting you to one of his performances.
