Sambit Chatterjee, renowned for his drumming, is launching his solo career with the album "Letters for Inca," slated for release on August 28. This project is a profound personal gift from Chatterjee to his son, Inca, described as "11 time capsules" from his life.
The album, "Letters for Inca," showcases Chatterjee's diverse musical journey, incorporating elements of metal, hip-hop, piano, and ambient music. His eclectic upbringing and exposure to various artists influenced this boundary-free approach to sound.
Drawing inspiration from philosophers like Jiddu Krishnamurti and Peter Brook's film "Tell Me Lies," Chatterjee has secured permissions for lyrical and dialogue inclusions. He recently hosted listening sessions in Kolkata and Mumbai, with more planned for Bangalore, Shillong, Guwahati, and the NCR, emphasizing an intent for listeners to experience the album in a single sitting.
Chatterjee's musical journey began in childhood, evolving from playing traditional instruments to co-writing for various bands and projects, including film scores. The impetus for completing this solo album came with the news of his wife's pregnancy, solidifying his desire to create something uniquely his own for his child.
