About us
Hybrid Protokol have been purveyors of Live Electronic Music since their inception. Leaning heavily on analog hardwares to create all their music and putting on live shows that are 100% Live — they’ve stuck to their guns and have been through thick and thin — trying to carve a space for themselves on the Indian circuit. Recently they have made music for Feature Films, collaborated with Contemporary Dancers and have also played the first Boiler Room in Kolkata.
In addition to leveraging field recordings and ambient soundscapes within their primarily analog studio setting, they perform Live using an array of synthesisers, drum machines, and samplers. Aneesh’s feel for the manipulation of Soumajit’s distinct sounds has led to a unique mix of skills responsible for the punchy, dynamic sounds Hybrid Protokol is known for today.
Soumajit
Having a strong background in North Indian Classical Music, practising & performing for over 16 years, Soumajit gradually shifted focus towards his later discovered love - the synthesiser.
Aneesh
A National Award winning Sound Designer by the day, Aneesh's musicality developed at a young age when he began learning to play the tabla. Electronic music entered his life during his college days, which is when he began fiddling around with music programming softwares in his spare time.
