Bio
The Open Door Project is a setup experimenting at the intersection of psychedelic rock music and electronic music. Inspired by the sound-design and compositions of acts ranging from Massive Attack, Aphex Twin, Autechre, BT and Thievery Corporation to Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Beck, Snarky Puppy and The Beatles, the band set out to carve it’s own little niche corner at the fringes of where these acts left off.
Comprised of a four piece band, Achal (bass/synth) and Daniel (drums/electronic percussion) provide the incomparable rhythm section that forms the heart of the band, over which Aleif (guitars/effects) and Aseem (Voice/Electronics) add their intricate layers of melodies and words. Frequently exploring the darker themes of our times, the song writing brings to life stories and characters existing in some shape or form in our lives. The band is constantly inspired by other art forms and often incorporates into their own work, artworks ranging from graphic art and stories in print, to installation art and film/visuals in their live shows.
Born in Aseem’s home studio in Delhi, ODP (as it’s lovingly abbreviated) has found new family in Boston, and like most families it is constantly evolving. Today, with 4 permanent members and various contributing members, the band is busy performing works from their debut full-length album, Corridor #32, and the follow-up EP Melladrine, Aside from this, the band is already working on finishing the writing of a second album, as well as a visual EP of live arrangements from these ongoing performances for Corridor #32.
Stay tuned for release and show updates.
