Budhaditya Chattopadhyay

Budhaditya Chattopadhyay is an Indian-born sound artist, composer, and researcher currently based in Europe, known for his immersive, experimental work blending field recordings, electroacoustic textures, and sociopolitical storytelling. With a background in media studies and a PhD in sound studies, his practice often explores themes of environmental crisis, urban decay, and displacement, using site-specific recordings to create haunting, reflective soundscapes. Recent releases like *Withering Field* and *The Well-tempered City: Book I* showcase his knack for transforming everyday sonic environments—traffic, weather, industrial hums—into layered narratives that critique modernity’s impact on ecology and human connection. When he’s not crafting albums or live performances, Chattopadhyay contributes to academic discourse on sound art, bridging creative and scholarly worlds with a focus on listening as a form of cultural activism.
