Story So Far.. Part 1 E:CUBE Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park

Very happy 2011 to everyone. It's been months since I made any update on here.. I have been very busy with some exciting projects and now I would like to update you on what has been happening at Quadroptica studio since last time.

First up is the E:CUBE project where along with Carlo Rossi of the Organic Jam, we designed immense wall to wall visual art. With such celebrity as Kate Moss regularly attending, E:CUBE was certainly where it was at in London winter of 2010. Special thanks goes to Georgina Fergusson and Jhem Murray who came up with  great sponsor visuals.

Talvin Singh presents Tablatronic USA/Canada tour 2010

Quadroptica have designed custom made visual for the Mercury Award winner Talvin Singh who is currently on USA/Canada tour. Click here to see the remaining dates .

Talvin Singh is best known as the father of modern Asian electronica music, though he is also a highly celebrated tabla player, record producer, electronic musician, and DJ. Singh helped to re-introduce the concepts of Indian classical music to western pop, dance and jazz genre’s in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. Singh collaborated with artists in diverse genres such as Bjork, Madonna, The Master Musicians of Jajouka, Jay Z and Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Singh’s groundbreaking debut “OK” was a huge critical and commercial success and won the UK’s two most prestigious music prizes, ‘The South Bank Prize’ and ‘The Mercury’. In 1990 Singh conceived the Tablatronic, a hybrid electronic/analog instrument which allows the player multiple sonic-processing possibilities.
