Qasim Naqvi is a Pakistani jazz drummer and percussionist. With his unique style and skill, he has become a prominent figure in the music industry. Naqvi draws inspiration from various genres and artists such as *Andrew Cyrille*, *Wadada Leo Smith*, and *William Parker*. His music is characterized by its captivating rhythms and mesmerizing beats.

Naqvi's talent extends beyond just drumming; he also experiments with different instruments to create innovative sounds. He has collaborated with renowned performers like *Rob Mazurek* and *Field Works*, pushing the boundaries of traditional jazz music.

Known for his improvisational abilities, Naqvi has worked alongside esteemed musicians including *Mary Halvorson*, *Vijay Iyer*, and *James Brandon Lewis*. His collaborations with artists like *Craig Taborn* and *Henry Threadgill* have resulted in groundbreaking compositions that challenge conventional notions of jazz.

Pakistani-American composer Qasim Naqvi releases his debut album for Erased Tapes. Teenages captures the sound of electronics living, breathing and mutating of their own accord – almost autonomously – with only subtle, sparing but perfectly-judged and masterful guidance. This album is one singular synergy between Qasim and his machine within a broader milieu of sound, also explored by contemporaries Sarah Davachi, Alessandro Cortini, Caterina Barbieri and also the forefather, Morton Subotnick. At points tonal, textural and rhythmic, over six evolving and growing audio organisms, the album flourishes upwards in stages, from initial micro-sonics to something bigger, brighter and anthemic.

This is Naqvi’s first non-soundtrack release, having previously established himself as a renowned composer for dance, theatre, film and installation-based art, not to mention his role as drummer in lauded trio Dawn of Midi.
