Marking 25 years of his landmark fusion project ‘ Rhythmscape ’, percussionist Bickram Ghosh has released a new album, ‘ Rhythmscape 2.0 ’, at an event held at the Fir Pavilion of the Tolly Club. The album, brought out by Kolkata-based Eternal Sounds in association with the Calcutta Heritage Collective , features seven new tracks along with accompanying music videos.
Positioned as a contemporary successor to the original ‘Rhythmscape’, the album revisits the signature fusion sound that blends Indian classical percussion with global influences and modern production. First launched over two decades ago, ‘Rhythmscape’ went on to establish a distinct genre within India’s experimental music space, with performances across international stages.
With ‘Rhythmscape 2.0’, Ghosh introduces newer elements, including additional instruments and the incorporation of hip-hop influences in the music videos, while retaining the project’s core focus on rhythm-led storytelling. The release also reflects his continued engagement with evolving musical formats at a time when single-track releases dominate the industry.
Speaking at the launch, Ghosh described the album as a cohesive body of work. “Rhythmscape represents a confluence of emotions—it cannot be contained in a single track,” he said.
The event also featured a conversation between Ghosh and cultural activist Nandita Palchoudhuri, tracing the journey of the project and its impact on fusion music.
