With The Transhimilayan Network, Nischal Khadka opens our ears to emerging artists from Bhutan, Nepal, Tibet: all high Himalayan regions with a deeply rooted buddhist tradition. Connecting through isolation, these mountain states developed their own cultural traditions. The Transhimalayan Network attempts to present a variety of idiosyncratic forms of music and sonic art from around the Himalayan regions with lectures and workshops by experts in various fields tethered to sound, performance, and visual arts.
The ethos of this collaborative network is fundamentally decolonial – aiming to direct its resources, visibility and focus towards contributing to support and sustain a healthy context for art and specifically music in the trans Himalayan region, making sure that the decisional power remains in the hands of the local artists, audiences and contributors.

I explore & perform experimental sounds in my bedroom (more so during the COVID-19 pandemic). My current sonic projects are mostly under my name (Dea Karina), tujuh kuda, or d3k4. I am also currently in several unreleased others. As my projects are scattered around the internet, I’ve decided to compile them here as a portfolio. I use various methods & instruments in my music production, including “stealing” radio broadcasts, a cigarbox guitar, DIY synthesizers, an analog synth, microphones & contact mics, effect pedal(s), looper(s), and DAWs. You can watch my bedroom performances on this page.
