There’s something I’ve been feeling deeply lately 
-The power of presence💙
Life moves so fast… shows, airports, soundchecks, so many moving pieces🧩
But in between all that noise, I’ve started catching myself in these little moments of stillness⏸️
Moments where I look around and realize how much beauty there is in just being🙂
A laugh shared. A moment of silence. A moment of Gaze.
The way light falls on a wall. The feeling of search!🔎
It’s so easy to chase what’s next, to keep pushing forward but I’ve learned that peace doesn’t live in the destination🚪
It lives right here, in the now✨
And the more I slow down and allow myself to feel, the more grateful I become😇
For the people, the art, the journey, the pain, the joy
Being present is the most rebellious and beautiful thing we can do. I think I am always afraid to miss out but I now understand that I don’t want to miss the present🥹

At the Sonic Pluriverse festival in Berlin, Mohini Dey (@dey_bass) introduced audiences to Konnakol, an ancient South Indian art of vocal percussion that uses spoken syllables to convey complex rhythmic patterns. By placing an ancient Indian tradition in a more contemporary context, she’s perfectly relaying the fluidity of distinctly South Asian musical traditions.

Mohini Dey (@dey_bass )continues to push musical boundaries.
In her recent Berlin performance at @hkw_berlin , she blended the ancient Indian art of Konnakol with modern rock, creating a sound that was both rooted and refreshing. Known for her precision on the bass and deep understanding of rhythm, Mohini brought a traditional vocal percussion style into a contemporary setting with ease and authenticity.

It’s inspiring to see an Indian artist carry forward classical techniques while making them accessible to new global audiences. Mohini’s journey is a great reminder of how art evolves—and how culture can stay alive by finding new spaces to grow.

Mohini Dey beim Sonic Pluriverse Festival im Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin am 05.07.2025
HKW: "Mohini Deys 2023 erschienenes Debütalbum war eine Sensation mit seiner einzigartigen Verbindung von Jazz-Bass und traditioneller indischer Musik. Von Kindheit an von ihren Eltern gefördert, lernte Dey, E-Bass zu spielen. Mit dreizehn Jahren schrieb sie ihren ersten Song, der auch auf ihrem Debütalbum zu finden ist. Mit vierzehn begleitete sie den US-amerikanischen Jazzgitarristen Mike Stern auf dessen Tournee durch Indien. Später führten ausgedehnte Forschungsreisen sie in die ländlichen Gebiete Nord- und Südindiens, wo sie mit traditionellen Künstler*innen, vor allem Trommler*innen, musizierte. „I’m thinking like a drummer“, sagt sie über ihre Spielweise. Gemeinsam mit ihrem Ehemann Mark Hartsuch am Saxofon und Gino Banks am Schlagzeug gründete sie das Trio MaMoGi, in dem sie mit ihrem unverwechselbaren E-Bass traditionelle indische Musik, geprägt vor allem von Mridangam und Tabla, mit Jazz, Funk und Metal zusammenbringt. Sie ist nicht nur Bassistin, sondern auch Arrangeurin, Sängerin und Produzentin und arbeitete mit Legenden wie Quincy Jones, Zakir Hussain und Stanley Clarke zusammen. Forbes India führt sie im Jahr 2015 auf der Liste der erfolgreichsten Musiker*innen unter 30, Music Radar unter den Top Ten der Bassist*innen des 21. Jahrhunderts. Für das Sonic Pluriverse Festival: Bass Cultures kommt sie nun erstmals nach Deutschland."
