— Whispers of the Valley —
Lorelai Gumeni
In February 2025, we went to Kathmandu, Nepal, to attend the first edition of Boiling Harmonies, an experimental electronic music festival. It was very exciting to immerse ourselves, for the first time, in such a culturally rich country, where ancient traditions are still very much present in everyday life. It felt like a vivid blend of ancestral ways of living and fragments of modern life.
We loved it very much and stayed there for two months, getting involved with the local underground anarchist scene, co-organizing gigs across various venues, and meeting and collaborating with other traveling international artists. It truly is a place of many possibilities, and the people are kind, curious, and supportive of artistic exploration.
This book is a collection of images — Whispers of the Valley — things that captured and expanded my imagination during that time. It is accompanied by a DJ CoSmiC DisaSteR mix CD of field and street recordings from the same period.
With gratitude to all the wonderful people of the Kathmandu Valley.
