Phone Photography : Planetical & Photosphere

I am not a professional photographer but I do love taking photographs with my smartphone camera. I used to love using my Lumia 820 before and then I got a One Plus One. Although I wasn't really happy with the camera compared to my previous device, I did realize that with a bit of editing …

Boombay Djembe Folas live at the FROG

Anand Bhagat and I go way back. Apart from being Captains in school (Anand Bhagat was the sports captain and I was the red house captain), Anand introduced me to a lot of music that made me ultimately pick up the guitar and compose my own. I started my musical career if I may call it that, …

A scene with the music

I love making ambient electronic music. I can listen to scores of movies on loop and have always been inclined towards music that does not have any vocal elements in it. I also love adding extracts of speeches that inspire me in my music. Most of the tracks that I have made so far, are …

Amit Saigal – A tribute to a man who changed my life

https://youtu.be/8NK2RZw6CiQ Amit Saigal has done so much for the music scene in general and probably the most beautiful part about it was the fact that he was never pompous about it. You would never see him have that arrogance on his face, he would have that trademark smile and that calm voice that would speak …

This is NG, taking. Recording in a studio for the first time.

For an independent band, its quite natural to record stuff in friend's bedrooms or makeshift studios. That's how we started. 'Snails are when I was young' was recorded in Kuber's house and the production shifted along with Kuber's different homes. First in Andheri, then at Khar. Jai records at Yashraj Studios quite a bit. Shantanu Hudlikar …

Gearhouse Solo with Tejas Menon

Film making is something that I love as much as music composition and I sometimes miss shooting some awesome live bands at the blueFROG. I had worked on over 250 live performance videos there. I met up with Warren D'souza who …

Scribe Guitar Playthrough Video

I recently caught up with my brothers Akshay & Pra from Scribe and did a guitar playthrough video of one of their songs. They are one of my favourite bands and I definitely consider these two in a league of their own when it comes to guitar playing as well as song writing. They recently …
