Upasak Mukherjee

I am a Tabla player, film and video game composer, audio engineer and producer from India. I am currently studying Film and Media Scoring major and Music Technology and Game and Interactive Media minors in Berklee College Of Music. I haver been studying the art of Tabla playing from a very young age under the guidance of my Guruji, Grammy nominated Pt Subhen Chatterjee. I have had the good fortune of performing and collaborating with multiple Grammy winning artists like Mike Block, Edward Perez, John Paterno, and Grammy nominated artists like the Berklee Indian Ensemble, Chrystylez Bacon, Patrice Rushen, etc. My performances have been featured in many blogs and magazines all over the world and I have had the incredible opportunity to perform my compositions all over the world including parts of Europe, US and India. I have been featured in Berklee’s Two Track video series and in their social medias and serve as the ambassador for both the Boston and Valencia campuses. I am also involved as a composer in multiple student films and am acting as the sound designer of a video game. I am constantly looking for ways to expand my horizons and find creative outlets to my musical whims and fantasies.

The OVC-3D

The OVC returns to Boston! Bill Sebastian created the original OVC in the 1970s and performed on stage with Sun Ra at theaters in Boston and New York. The videos they made in the 1980s were recently featured in a retrospective at the Roulette Theater in Brooklyn and in Inside the Light World released by Strut Records. The OVC allowed an artist to create visual projections with the same total spontaneous control that a musician has over sound. Sebastian’s OVC-3D extends that concept to immersive 3D worlds that can be entered using VR headsets. Bill will be performing live on the OVC-3D at every festival event, accompanying the musicians as they explore a wide range of musical styles. The audience will be able to view the art both through projections of the OVC and VR headsets. Learn more at visualmusicsystems.com.
