Ruhail Qaisar

Ruhail Qaisar

Ruhail Qaisar’s debut album, ‘Fatima’ which The Quietus dubbed ‘haunting’, is a ‘requiem for a dead future’. On the record, released earlier this year via Swiss label Danse Noire, the self-taught artist examines his hometown of Leh, Ladakh region’s largest, and unearths trauma and decay. Military occupation and the crushing subjugation of the city to the tourism industry’s force render it desolate. Qaisar translates this state into his eerie compositions, crossing sound art, noise music, and experimental filmmaking, all the while incorporating local concepts, poetic gestures, and a blend of structured and improvised chaos.
