descent
I’ll be honest, what initially started as a post plugging my latest single, descent, ended up becoming an article about mental health. I shouldn’t be surprised, descent is a track about anxiety, and I, like many people, have had mental health on my mind for the past few days, because of the tragic death of Sushant Singh Rajput. I’m appending that article to the bottom of this page. If you do click on it, know that it contains conversations about mental health.
As for descent, the track (and the rest of my upcoming album) is about dealing with anxiety and trying to overcome it. Here are the links to the single. This may sound trite, but everybody take care of yourselves, reach out for help if you need it, and be available to help if you are capable. Here’s the article.
Fly Me There is the first peek into the music I’ve been making. It’s brisker than the music on my people are… This is a 120 bpm minimal house and techno inspired electronic exploration. Apart from various subgenres of electronic music, you will also find the obvious influence of Indian folk and classical music. The Nadaswaram features heavily.
The latest album from the curator of this mag: a mix of electronic music, trip-hop, downtempo, and Indian classical.
The fifth (and final) single from my album is a reworking of the first demo I released from what was in April just a ‘bunch of tracks’.
The fourth single from my upcoming album, my people… I derived inspiration from a particular memory of listening to Cody from the album on an evening alone in my hostel room more than a decade ago.

doves is the second single from my upcoming album, my people… doves is a meditation on the balance between positivity and awareness, especially in the context of isolation, anxiety, and hardship. It’s very much a song born out of the covid crisis, but attempts to negotiate with, and defeat, universal psychological demons.
dakshin 2 // the rebirth, the first song from my new album came from looking back to the land of my ancestors, Tamil Nadu.
Wonder what the point of music is on the sixth of March, twenty twenty two. Wonder if it serves the same purpose it served fifty, eighty, one hundred, one thousand years ago. Maybe six thousand years ago, that age’s Leonard Cohen wrote wryly of the migration patterns of wildebeest. I’ve been working on new music over the past half year. Here’s a pleasant house cover of the Cure’s Just Like Heaven.
