Tipu Sabzawaar

Tipu Sabzawaar is a solo project of Taimur Sheikh, perhaps better known as half of the Pakistani electronic post-rock / drone duo 6LA8. Now based in Waterloo, Canada rather than Karachi, Tipu Sabzawaar was formed when the duo was split up due to Sheikh's ambitions at Waterloo University. The project is much in the same vein as Sheikh's 6LA8 with perhaps a renewed emphasis on sonic experimentation and adventurous atmospherics. Part post-rock, part electronic and part drone as well many other dips into other genres 6LA8 had not yet attempted, Tipu Sabzawaar is also armed with a keen sense of digital audio editing and will appeal to fans of the duo especially fans of their more electronic side as well as to fans of innovative music in general.
