Ethnotronic duo with flautist Shriram Sampath, blending live improvisation with electronic soundscapes. Filter Coffee has performed across the globe,
with a full album, Raagatronic, and a song featured in the multilingual
film Solo.

Recorded in a studio in the USA, where two artists who barely knew each other pressed record and made an album in one take. Featuring Anatolian kamancha player Melisa Yildirim and Swarupa on tabla, this is a global improvised live music project.

Founded by Swarupa, Women Who Drum is an all-women percussion collective bringing together rhythm artists from diverse musical traditions. The ensemble explores percussion as a space for dialogue - between instruments, cultures and artistic voices - while creating greater visibility for women percussionists.
Our mission is to foster collaboration, visibility and empowerment for women through the art of rhythm and drumming.
The ensemble took the stage at the Mahindra Percussion Festival 2026 in Bengaluru alongside Umayalpuram K. Sivaraman, Bickram Ghosh, and Mahesh Kale - and runs a monthly artist session series in partnership with Roland India at the Roland Artist Centre, Mumbai.
Our work extends beyond performance into workshops, collaborations, and community -building initiatives.
