Bishi Bhattacharya

Bishi, a UK based musician, is an artist with an ongoing collection of striking audio and visual work.

I found it interesting to learn about how she transforms her sitar into a “rock sitar” by putting it through guitar pedals. Her innovation and dedication to create something bold and memorable inspired me.

“I am Indian in skin, but English of heart”

Through her piece Albion Voice, she captures the story of her originally being from Bengali decent, and aims to playfully slander the monarchy through witty images.

It was clear to me that her work in visual arts was just as important to her as her work in sound arts to convey her message. This made me think about my own sound work and sparked some internal dialogue about how I can implement more visual aspects of art into my work.
