Jairamji began life in 1998 after a long and eye opening trip to India. With only some basic music training under my belt, I (charlie) had no idea that I would go on to follow a life in music and become obsessed with the nature of sound. India is a magical country that feeds the senses and fuels the imagination, we spent many days camping out on the beaches listening to the sounds of nature; the waves and the orchestra of crickets every morning at sunrise. I was recording alot of the sounds I heard, and when I returned home started to mix them with musical ideas on some pretty basic equipment. This was pretty detrimental to any academic career , and it became necessary to find others to join in the fun of avoiding anything too serious. Soon I had enough material to do something live and joined by Becca, Harry, Nick and Andy we began to do some live sets in some sordid trance venues around the country. Mostly unrehearsed we had mixed success, but had a massive amount of fun.

The band was then called "Swivelpigeon" and lasted in this form for a couple of years until it morphed into "Bosanova Junction" with the addition of a lunatic called Orlando, who plays most instruments extremely well, but has the unfortunate tendency of heading for the bar in the middle of the set . At this point we were playing fully live music without any synths, getting into jazz and funk. We recorded a 35 minute Ep called "Soma life" staying in a tiny cottage in Wales, a fusion of jazz, samba, trance and funk.

However, as is often the case, holding down the motivation to play live reguarly and get paid proved difficult and live shows became less frequent. I headed back to india and studied tabla and Indian theory of music with a cruel slavedriver who didnt speak any English, but ressurected my passion for deeper sounds, and decided to put my energy into reording and using what a studio has to offer in music-making.

Living in Brighton by the sea I set about finding as many musicians as I could find who could contribute unusual and ethnic sounds to the recordings. This led to many wonderful meetings, including Andreas who introduced me to the ideas of native American music, and its earthy contrast to the spiritual heights of Indian Classical music. I was introduced to a number of instruments during this year,including the m'bira , an enchanting African thumb piano, and a guy from Goa showed me how to play the Comb and loo-roll trick better than anyone I have ever seen. It was here that most of the ideas for the current cd were born (Kindred Spirits). many of the musicians got in touch after I pasted flyers around the country looking for "players of unusual instruments".

Getting deeper in the studio and the claustaphobia that always follows led to the need for more live work, and under the name Jairamji we began doing some more gigs, mostly highly energetic sets often incorporating random members of the audience into the mix by thrusting the microphone into their hand. We got into the habit of playing jewish wedding songs mixed with hard trance , which proved a pretty lethal combination. We gained another member with Susanna Waters(ted to her friends)and her beautiful soaring vocals.

The last few months(dec 2002)have been spent editing the current cd in Somerset, where the Globesound studio is based, and has seen few live performances except in Greece, where we played to a crowd of people who hadnt slept for about 6 days at the Samothraki Dance Festival. To see Pics Click Here.
