Not many must be aware about Axl Hazarika. Well he’s an Industrial/Avant-Garde/ Experimental musician from Guwahati, Assam and one of the pioneers of the genre in the North-Eastern region. Recently he released his second studio album ELEKTROKORE 1, which is in fact the first Industrial album coming out the region.
Also with Ryan Hazarika he released the first animated short film from the region. Earlier he was also associated with ELEKTROKORE. We catch up with him to talk about himself, Industrial music, his album and many more!
IMR: Hello Axl, how are you doing? From a ‘core’ member of ELEKTROKORE(the band) to releasing the first Industrial album of Assam ELKTROKORE 1 you have travelled a long distance. How would you summarize your musical journey so far?
Axl Hazarika: Greetings, I'm doing good. Well till now I have been releasing my songs in the name of ELEKTROKORE. I actually consider it as a project rather than a band. Over the years many of my close buddies joined me and jammed around with my compositions.
But, not to compromise on the quality of the compositions, I never allowed anyone to intervene in my songwriting/composing process. I like to do it solely.
Overall, the journey has been satisfactory.
Axl Hazarika, the nu-age music composer, programmer, sound designer, lyricist and producer hailing from the beautiful city of Guwahati, Assam is finally out with his another new album titled ELEKTROKORE 1 today.
