   About Suchet
Suchet plays instruments from the world's rhythm cultures--the tabla from India, darbouka, daholla & framedrums from Egypt, the Kurdish def, djembes from Ghana & Gambia, cajon from Peru, bongos from Cuba, the Congolese ududrum and the aboriginal yidaki/didgeridoo from Australia. Add to this a diverse collection of world and ambient instruments, and you have an acoustic performer whose repertoire spans the globe.

He plays with diverse projects, encompassing oriental & latin jazz, worldbeat, organic trance & groove-pop. He creates soundscapes for documentaries, music for theatre performances and commercials for radio & television.

Classes, rehearsals and jams take place at his ancestral home in New Delhi; he travels to Europe often.

Projects/Live Performances

STORIES THROUGH SOUND is Suchet's solo work in which he creates soundscapes through a medley of instruments-drums, percussion, didgeridoo, flutes & ambient instruments. With eyes open you see craft at work--instrument upon instrument creating layers of sound that come at you in waves. With eyes closed you ride through a magical world on a carpet of sound.
Performed entirely acoustic, Stories through Sound is a showcase of world music and percussion. Performed as an electro-dance set, it is a showcase of high-energy dance music.


DA SAZ is an electronic musician, a percussionist and a vocalist who sings in the four Indic languages of the sufis-Hindustani, Urdu, Farsi and Punjabi. The project signed to major label Phat Phish in 2007 and released Jet Lag in 2008, featuring international artistes and a full chamber orchestra. Recently, they played the opening day of Rocktoberfest in New Delhi.


With the WANNY ANGERER LATIN-JAZZ QUARTET, Suchet plays on a special hybrid of jazz drums and percussion. Concert pianist Svetlana Radashkevich from Russia plays jazz and classical pieces while Wanny sings in four languages-Spanish, English, Portuguese and French. Soloist Rajesh Prasanna plays flute.


MYSTIQUE plays oriental-jazz and is one of Delhi's pioneering instrumental bands. As a duo/trio, the group showcase stunning instrumental virtuosity. As an ensemble they delight with melody and harmony. Guests perform often. The band is currently editing & mixing their second CD in New Delhi and often play live in the city.


International Projects

Suchet's music finds therapeutic application via PAD VAN DE PASSIE, an organisation working in Belgium, France and Holland. They conduct individual sessions, Family Opstellingen (Constellation), Enrudance (dance marathons) & The Healing Touch guided meditations with live music. Info/Schedules from Ben Eyckmans at ben@padvandepassie.be


FRANCHE CONNECTION is a trio featuring original music from Catherine Delasalle (voice), Pieter Lenaerts (contrabass) and Suchet. Catherine sings French chansons written by her, and Pieter and Suchet compose the music. L'etrangere, listed in the player above, features Catherine on voice, Pieter on conrabass and Suchet on xylophone and bongos.


Suchet & Pieter are also founders of the AFRO-INDIAN SWING SYNDICATE. Together with Ugandan Kinobe Herbert (kora/voice), Ouma Michael (guitars) and Sewagudde Richard (percussion) they play upbeat roots music from India, Africa and Europe.


Recent News

October 2009

A nicely busy month! I made my debut with the Capital City Minstrels Choir (Conducted by Gabriella Boda-Rechner) on the 1st at the quaint and intimate Hungarian Cultural Centre. We also played on the 4th at Sacred Heart Cathedral and the 6th at Epicentre, Gurgaon. Mystique played on the 5th at the Taj Mansingh. Jayant & I played the opening night of Joy Luck Sky, Saket on the 10th. Da Saz played the opening day of the Rocktoberfest at the Garden of Five Senses on the 30th. Finally, I played a marathon set with DJ Llewellyn at Q'BA on Halloween.

September 2009

After a stellar Ladakh Confluence, it was hard to come down to earth (literally, the Confluence was at 11,500 feet!). Straight away, I began to compose music for the original dance production TILT, by Anusha Lall, which was performed the 24th & 25th at Max Mueller Bhawan. I also played percussion for another dance production, The Veil, which showed on the 26th & 27th. Earlier, on the 18th, I played a electro-guitar-percussion set with Sajid on guitar and Jayant on electro at Cibo (pronounced CH-EE-BOW).
