About Niran Dasika
Dasika’s official biography identifies him as a trumpeter, improviser, and composer based in Melbourne. It describes a practice spanning jazz, free improvisation, electronic music, solo performance, education, and an ongoing connection with Japan, where he previously lived.[1]
His official music archive separates eight leader albums from collaborative projects. It documents acoustic quartet and duo recordings, solo trumpet with live processing, and the three-volume Assorted Drone Music series rather than treating the electronic and ensemble work as one fixed group.[1][2]
Life Forms, released in 2025, credits Dasika on trumpet with Andrea Keller, Helen Svoboda, and engineer Pat Telfer. The artist Bandcamp places that trio recording alongside Mizuchi, Endless Spring, Infinite Summer, and his broader leader catalog.[2][3]
Life Forms
The 2025 trio album brings Dasika’s trumpet together with Andrea Keller’s piano and Helen Svoboda’s double bass.[2][3]
Acoustic and electronic work
His official archive distinguishes ensemble jazz from solo trumpet, sampling, synthesizer, and drone projects.[1][2]
Melbourne and Japan
Dasika’s biography connects his Melbourne base with recurring Australian work and recordings made during several years in Japan.[1][2]
