Led by Indian artist Aseem Suri, ZYkR is an alternative/electronic music project based out of New Delhi, India and Brooklyn, New York. Blending elements drawn from rock, folk and electronic, the music of ZYkR combines programmed beats and synthesized electronic sounds alongside sampled recordings, guitars and voices. Aseem’s songwriting draws on his life and surroundings, with themes ranging from surveillance and human rights, anxiety and addiction, to love and loss.
Bringing the same spirit of experimentation to the stage, ZYkR’s live act incorporates traditional and modern instrumentation, using electronic performance techniques, triggers, samplers and custom controllers to recreate the music. On stage, Aseem is joined by a rotating line-up of musicians, including fellow Berklee college of music alumni Donnie Hogue (USA, Drums), Pedro Zappa (Portugal, Bass/Vocals), Matt Schumacher (USA, Bass), and Aleif Hamdan (Indonesia, Guitars)
