Josh Middleton & Rasika Ajotikar

Rasika and Josh met in London, a city that thrives as a melting pot of cultures. Their music both breaks with and draws upon tradition. Using the grammar and vocabulary of forms such as folk, classical, and semi-classical music of South Asia - and, in the case of the accordion, the many and diverse techniques derived from the various traditional musics that Josh has studied, from Celtic to Bulgarian Folk music - while also bending and reshaping them.

Instead, they explore the gaps, the in-between spaces, and the surprising connections: how voice and accordion converse, how their sounds meet, what meanings emerge in their open and curiosity-driven encounters.
