From Beta

Pakistani-American avant composer and drummer Naqvi is a member of acoustic trio Dawn Of Midi, while his solo work focuses on the timbral range of analogue synthesizers and orchestral configurations. His second Erased Tapes album Beta follows up its 2019 sister record Teenages – a six part modular synth suite informed by experiments made while learning to write for the instrument.
