Teleportation Assamese version by singer-composer Joi Barua has been released worldwide, bringing an Assamese-language interpretation of a quantum physics-inspired musical project to listeners across the globe. The track was released on October 2 ahead of World Space Week 2026.
The song combines music, science and space exploration. It was conceived and written by Dr Susan Lim, with lyrics also involving Harvard neurology fellow Christina Teenz Tan. Barua co-composed the music with French composer and orchestrator Manu Martin.
The project also carries a strong international production footprint. The recording brought together a 70-piece Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios in London, while UK-based Signum Records is handling the release.
Teleportation Assamese version explores quantum ideas
The Teleportation Assamese version draws inspiration from quantum entanglement, a phenomenon in which quantum particles can maintain correlations across large distances. Rather than presenting the subject as a scientific lecture, the song uses music and a science-fiction narrative to explore distance, connection and space travel.
The project therefore places a complex scientific idea within an accessible artistic format. Its central themes connect the vast scale of the universe with human experiences of connection and separation.
Moreover, the Assamese edition gives Barua a central vocal role in the Indian and subcontinental release. British vocalist Tom Ball performs the international edition, creating two vocal versions of the same broader musical work.
From Abbey Road to an international collaboration
The recording at Abbey Road adds another layer to the Teleportation Assamese version. Studio One hosted the orchestral session, allowing Barua and his collaborators to translate the project’s scientific themes into a large-scale orchestral arrangement.
Barua’s collaboration with Lim and Martin forms part of a wider creative relationship around science, technology and music. Their earlier work included projects within Lim’s broader musical and storytelling universe, which has explored subjects ranging from artificial intelligence to the cosmos.
Additionally, Assamese contemporary artist Samudra Kajal Saikia created the conceptual artwork and visual world associated with the single. This adds a visual component to a project already built around music, science and storytelling.
NASA COSI connection expands the story
The Teleportation Assamese version is also connected to a larger project associated with NASA’s Compton Spectrometer and Imager, or COSI, mission.
COSI is being developed at the University of California, Berkeley’s Space Sciences Laboratory. The mission is designed to study gamma rays produced by cosmic events and investigate how elements are formed in stars.
The connection emerged through Cosmic Rhapsody, an international performing-arts project created by Lim and Tan. Barua contributed music to the project, which uses songs, visuals and storytelling to communicate ideas about stars, matter and the universe.
However, the COSI link should not be confused with the scientific subject of quantum teleportation itself. The wider collaboration connects astrophysics and performing arts, while Teleportation specifically draws on quantum entanglement as a creative theme.
Assamese language reaches a wider audience
The worldwide release of the Teleportation Assamese version gives an Assamese-language track a place within a distinctly international production. The song combines an Indian regional language with musicians and creators from several countries.
The track is available on major streaming services, including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and Amazon Music.
The release also arrives during World Space Week, which runs from October 4 to 10. The 2026 theme is “Rocket Revolution,” adding a timely space-exploration context to the song’s release.
For Barua, the project represents another intersection between Assamese music and global creative collaborations. For listeners, the Teleportation Assamese version offers a musical route into themes that usually belong to physics and astrophysics.
As the track reaches audiences worldwide, it places Assamese vocals within an orchestral production shaped at Abbey Road and linked to a broader NASA-associated arts and science initiative.
