“ Sounds are swollen, expanded and layered, steadily unfolding through time. However, these smooth resonances are also disrupted through Jatinder’s attempts to imitate the synthesiser by plucking the smaller strings of the dilruba. Though an unusual method to adopt, plucking demonstrates Jatinder’s concern to create intimate dialogues between both instruments. This is also matched by Suren, who at points attempts to mimic the dilruba using the synthesiser’s palette.

Such exchanges, occurring at a sonic level, are made visible in this publication through measured textual and visual offerings. The choice to accompany their debut album with a design-led publication highlights how Petit Oiseau isn’t merely a musical project, but an artistic one too. “
