about

In Spring of 2018, cosmic forces led to the meeting of three musical souls who eventually began performing together under the name of Holy Drone Travellers. They started by piecing together their musical idiosyncrasies of free-jazz, psych, and Hindustani classical music. After several performances and augmenting the group into a quartet, the Travellers grew louder, heavier, and even more abrasive. Such sounds can be heard on a limited demo tape quietly put out by the band earlier 2019.

जन्म/BIRTH is a testament of Holy Drone Travellers' first refined jams before this aforementioned change in sound. These recordings portray the original trio in a meditative state with driving tabla percussion on top of layers of droning instrumentation and free-improvisation. It's a sound that will make fans of La Monte Young, Pharoah Sanders, and Zakir Hussain feel right at home.


Bhuyash Neupane - tabla, vocals
Matt Meeker - bass, trombone, electronics
Ethan Bokma - clarinets, tampura, keys, electronics

Recorded by Matt Meeker on Nov.17, 2018 in Edmonton, Alberta
Mixed by Erroll Bokma in London, Ontario

Saw-whet Records Edmonton, Alberta

Hi, I'm Ethan. I started SWR in 2019 for fun and profit while wanting to shed light on experimental music in Edmonton. I managed to put out a total of 6 records before deciding not to continue the label any further. Some vinyl records are *STILL AVAILABLE* so look for links on the respective album pages. Please support the artists!
Thanks for the support in the past.
☮️♾️💟
