    Episode #20 ft The Sacred Geometry

    Great conversation with The Sacred Geometry who recently released their EP titled “Vrajya”. The duo comprises of Pranav Jadhav and Siddhartha Ghosh both architects and longtime friends who share an innate passion for expermental music. Coming from an architectural background, ‘The Sacred Geometry’ draws their inspiration from the golden ratio, biomimicry, parametric design among other concepts.  The project came into being during their years together in college and took a proper shape from India Film Projects 50 hour music challenge wherein they participated as a team in 2021 and have been working on tracks together ever since.  Siddhartha has learned under the tutelage of mentors from the legendary Indian fusion band "Advaita". Pranav, a.k.a. PRNV, on the other hand is a popular Mumbai based Dj/Producer who is mainly known for his Progressive House playstyle.  In taking their inspiration from mother nature, the tracks naturally capture the fleeting boundary between order and chaos. Introspection, Truth, Khwaaishein and Lunar Myth take the protagonist through his journey of self discovery using melodic Lo-Fi samples mixed with ambient house beats and soundscapes.    Hope you enjoy it!   Check us out - https://www.musicmandir.com/

    Episode #19 ft Shantanu

    Musicmandir talks to Mumbai based DJ & producer Mr Shantanu who creates music under the monikers ‘Smg‘ and ‘kSaya‘ (Pronounced Saya). It has been a long time and after the success of his previous tracks "Walk" and "One Dance", Shantanu is finally ready for his new release "Blinded by Your Love" which comes out on Friday 30th of July 2021.  . Teaming up German singer and songwriter, Kaja Riedle and long-time collaborator Yash Gosavi, this tune comes after a long hiatus from the producer after months of graft stretching back to October 2020.   ‘Blinded by Your Love’ comes from a personal experience which in hindsight turned out to be an incident that changed my perspectives and inhibitions for the good. After my encounter with impulsiveness and bad decisions, I realized that it’s not consuming just me but it is consuming or has consumed people and relationships of all forms.

    Episode #17 ft Fuzzculture

    Musicmandir is thrilled to talk to Mumbai based electro act FuzzCulture about his latest EP Strange Cities released in January 2021. Fuzzculture explains how in Strange Cities he has worked completely independently and having complete creative control over every aspect of the music making process. Fuzzculture is also experimenting with his sound and moving into newer directions of disco, pop, progressive landscapes and lyrical exploration. He’s also working on loads of new music in the pipeline coming out soon. We talked about Arsh’s stripped down nature of song creation where most of his songs are written on an acoustic guitar, keys or just chords and later layering them one by one.    We also spoke about his course in New York where he experienced and learned from composers about orchestra composition. The music video for Nicotine was a fun story of how it was put together all amidst the pandemic by Arsh and his friends/team.  Arsh shared his insights into music streaming & ownership and how he perceives music distribution will happen in the future where companies will include artists in their growth and marketing. visit us at - https://www.musicmandir.com/

    Episode #16 ft Riddhi

    Riddhi Vyas is a singer-songwriter from Mumbai hugely inspired by Trip-hop and R&B music. She recently released her song titled 'R.E.M',  the second single by Haunted & Holy. The song draws a thin line between reality and a dream and which one to choose depends upon you. R.E.M. is about not wanting to wake from your dreams and escaping into another world--away from the chaos and nightmarish reality. To others, I may be lost, but to me, it's a sweet refuge where I have found all my answers. .
