To the world Empty Spaces is "an
Indian Art Rock band hailing from Kolkata", but to us Empty Spaces is our home,
our family and is what we stand for.
Empty Spaces started
in 2005 when we were all still in college, and at that time
personal and professional commitments were few. All we wanted to do
was to play great music and to make great music, life, as we knew it,
was simple.
Over the years, the commitments part has changed considerably - Sougata, Arun and Rambo are now
software engineers, Rahul an
instrumentation engineer, Sukanta an
architect and Sunny
a professional vocalist, each with healthy careers in thier respective domains. As if
these commitments were not enough, to top all this, Arun presently
resides in Bangalore, and Rahul
in the UK.
But still things haven't changed a bit - we still want to play great
music, and we still want to make great music; time, distance,
professional and personal commitments haven't been able to change this
part.
We exist today to play, and make music, and Empty Spaces is where we do it,
if a day comes when this music part changes in us, it will be time to
wrap up Empty Spaces -
but that's not happening yet.
To cut things short and to summarize, here is a list of what we do and
what we don't:
- We adhere to very strict standards of music
production
- For us Empty Spaces is more of
an institution and family, than anything else
- We don't restrict ourselves to the distinct
genre of "Bangla Rock", and we have our own original compositions in
Hindi and English as well
- We are known to cover bands like Deep
Purple, Pink Floyd, The Police and Linkin Park along with bengali
numbers for all our LIVE shows
- Empty
Spaces is not the source of our income
- We want our music to be heard and
appreciated by people regardless of the fact whether they can pay for
it or not
- We consider Empty Spaces as a
production house, and not just a band
