Moreland III (music producer and video artist) interviews artist/poet/music producer Jugal Rajbhandari aka MC Ruckus.  Jugal Rajbhandari is an interdisciplinary artist based in Kathmandu, Nepal. He incorporates visual, auditory , kinesthetic modes of expression to create an immersive experience for his viewer. Born and raised in Bhaktapur, Jugal was fascinated by the esoteric teachings of Newari culture. His works are usually inspired by various branches of philosophy, psychology, mythology, linguistics, symbolism and occult science. 

He currently has his art studio at Kathmandu Art House in Thamel and some of his contemporary paintings are on display at MONA (Museum of Nepali Art). They discuss his journey, the process of creating art, perceiving an abstract body of art, the golden age of hip-hop, the state of Nepali hip-hop, prophecies of science fiction authors, language as control systems and much more. 

Sitting in Jugal’s art studio, the conversation shifts from art, culture, music, and conspiracy. We also discuss their collaborative project with Kiran Shahi called Project Akupara, as well as his other music project R.O.T.I. (Revenge of the Invisibles) and the Euphemystics.
