- Muziek
The Songwriters' Diary is an insightful look behind the curtains of artists, songwriters, producers, composers, and sound designers. Each episode we invite a special guest to have an in-depth conversation about their process, inspiration, and the general ups and downs of life as a musician. This is not your typical podcast, listen in as artists take apart their songs, and piece by piece, tell the story of how they were made.
Hosted and produced by singer/songwriter Mukukā

Balamohan Shingade (Part.2)
This is Part.2 of episode 14 featuring Balamohan Shingade
Balamohan Shingade is tangata Tiriti, a New Zealander from the Deccan region of India. He is a singer of Hindustani music, an improvised tradition from the Subcontinent. He is a student of Rajendra Kandalgaonkar with whom he continues his education in the guru-shishya tradition. Formally trained in Western philosophy and contemporary visual arts, he currently works in communication research at CARE Massey University.
If you haven't already, please listen to Part 1 where Balamohan introduces us to Hindustani music, explains the concept of rāga, and shares a few stories from this tradition, such as how rāga Bilaskhani Todi got its name. We even get into philosophical questions like how is the music contained not only in the combination of notes but in the expression of a single note? This is an idea that the Kirana Gharana holds dear, the school of thought to which Balamohan belongs.
Please enjoy Balamohan's performance of Rāga Bilaskhani Todi near the end of this episode.
Hosted by: Mukukā

Arjuna Oakes
This episode featured Arjuna Oakes.
Arjuna Oakes is a singer-songwriter and producer based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Aotearoa (Wellington, New Zealand). Following the release of his debut EP The Watcher in 2019, Arjuna has released another two projects both to widespread acclaim, 2020’s Recovery Pt. 1 and 2021’s First Nights. The latter is a collaboration with longtime friend and co-producer Serebii, released by LA-based record label Innovative Leisure (Badbadnotgood, Bambii). First Nights debuted at #5 on KCRW’s Top 30 Albums chart and has had extensive play on BBC6 and BBC1xtra.
‘Recovery Pt. 2 is the highly anticipated follow up to Arjuna Oake’s 2020 EP Recovery Pt. 1. Recorded at the same sessions as Recovery Pt. 1 back in February of 2020, Recovery Pt. 2 continues delving into the same themes such as climate change, identity and the journey of healing, which are all themes that seem more timely today than when these songs were recorded. Largely performed live in studio by Arjuna and his band of talented young musicians, these songs are exploding with intense youthful energy and feature a unique mix of creative songwriting and explorative improvisation. Recovery Pt. 2 provides an exciting climax to the themes and musical ideas introduced in ‘Recovery Pt. 1, and solidifies both records as an important piece in Arjuna’s discography.
