About

ASI is audiovisual. Catch us live and you'll see images drawn and projected in real time - as the line up of vocals, guitars, bass, tabla, 'cello and drums swell into an ocean of sound.

We sound like indie rock'n'roll sidling up to folk, with techniques and sounds from classical Indian music subtly placed in the mix. We have a fondness for layered, intimate music that builds up to epic or beautiful conclusions.

Our debut album, The Waiting , is a diverse embrace of styles and atmospheres. On the teaser single (see film clip below), acoustic folk grows into a beat box romp. Singer/songwriter folk is followed by 22-beat indie rock. The final track of the album takes you on a 13 minute ride, moseying through found-sounds, ambient, trance and rock'n'roll before building into a thundering wall of trans-global percussion.

Film Clip

CuriousWorks does not own a truck. So, one fine morning, when Aimee and Shakthi spied a free couch in Paddington, they hatched a plan to get the couch down to Randle St. They took a camera along for the ride...

Hey cheers for the add, good to find another Sydney-sider on here. Personally I don't think there can ever be too much delayed or droney cello in music. See you around sometime!
