Modern Biology is the project of veteran musician Tarun Nayar. Originally educated as a biologist, Tarun brings his passion for nature and sound together in an ambient project that is organismic, immediate,uplifting, and deeply contextual. He uses modular synthesis, home built synthesizers and other analog equipment to improvise with the natural vibrations of a certain place and time - via plant bioelectricity, latent electromagnetic radiation, and even the earth's resonant hum.

Trained from childhood in Indian classical music, he uses the system of Indian raga to mold his musical choices for time of day and season. His performances are an effort to bring the listener into the present moment through vibration, space, and connection. Tarun is passionate about protecting wild places and has committed the lion's share of the proceeds of this project to supporting the natural world.
