fragments (expanded) by Rachika Nayar

Rachika Nayar’s fragments (expanded) is a collection of sonic miniatures constructed from guitar loops created in the familiar comforts of her own bedroom. These cyclical, meditative pieces stem from an intimate part of Nayar’s creative practice, revealing a deep source of self-exploration and restoration. A collision of midwestern emo and post-rock influences with virtuosic minimalist guitar, fragments (expanded) provides an intimacy between Nayar and those listening in parallel spaces, activating our collective past and shared unconscious experience. The (expanded) edition adds an additional seven previously unreleased pieces, newly mastered by Rafael Anton Irrisarri.
