Diljeet Kaur Bhachu presents her debut album Double Lives, released in January 2025 via Doughnut Music Lab, a research project by Prof Matt Brennan from the University’s music department. Double Lives combines autobiographical spoken word with Indian raga music influences and electronics in a flute-based soundscape. Diljeet’s practice is largely improvised, and the album reflects this through an improvised representation of the album’s core musical ideas in live performance.
The concept of the album is of migration, displacement, ancestry and diasporic identities: the former lives of older generations, life trajectories that were changed, fragmented lives. This is explored through gentle, meditative musical landscapes, inviting the audience into a space of contemplation.
