Through modern music technology he has been able to create a way to perform on his own, where he records and loops sounds live and then adds drums and singing.
Hisham Baroocha Bharoocha started out making tribal/electronic/ambient anthems that forged paths between the spirit world and the human tribes of past and present. His new sound is still based on his fascination with repetition, cyclical rhythms and trance inducing sounds, but has gone further into the direction of heavy beats and more solidified song structures, even using lyrics as a new means to communicate. Soft Circle
Soft Circle is now a duo consisting of Bharoocha as well as Ben Vida, but this performance at the Amstel Surfilmfestibal 9 will be a solo performance using only electronic drum machines and voice.
Soft Circle's first album Full Bloom was released in 2007 on Eastern Developments; and his second album 'Shore Obsessed'” was released in December 2010 on the label PPM.
Bharoocha has toured with such bands as Boredoms, No Age, and High Places. Bharoocha was the musical director for the now legendary
77 Boadrum performance, a musical composition composed by Boredoms, which involved 77 drummers playing 77 drum kits in a spiral formation at Empire Fulton Ferry State Park on July 7th, 2007. In addition he was also the musical director for this year's 88 Boadrum performance, which happened on August 8th, 2008 with 88 drummers playing with Boredoms in Los Angeles, as well as 88 drummers playing with Gang Gang Dance in New York City on the same day.
