Super stoked to announce my new pop/rock project Sridhar & Arun Shenoy, and our new single that dropped on the 7th of May on digital stores worldwide, via Narked Records. What started off as a song I wrote a few years back in Singapore has now taken on a life of it’s own with some incredible people involved.
In no order, the fantastic Lonnie Park on vocals, Duke Purisima taking on bass duties and being ridiculously good as always, Sebastian Wyrobisch pounding at the drums with Alexander Brusencev handling engineering duties, Jonathan Wesley and Neville Bharucha on the keys, Mark Bihler and Bo Kondren handling the super crucial mix and mastering duties, and last but not the least brother from another mother Arun Shenoy on co-producing duties. It’s been fun.
The news of the single and our artwork was displayed in the heart of Times Square, NYC since the morning of the release. Here’s the official picture that was released by prnewswire when it first went up – pretty sweet.
My uncle recently forwarded me this video and asked me to adapt the original by the incredible Ludovico Einaudi. I was very moved by that video and the circumstances surrounding it, I knew I just had to work on this.
Just did the 6 week long course on Coursera, with the very amazing Pat Pattison as a teacher. It was an eye opening experience, that was intense, rewarding and humbling. I look forward to learning more from Pat in the future.
It was a fun evening.And the album is now officially out! Listen/Buy on the bandcamp store here. Also on sale are beautiful limited edition CDs in the store.
The Miles European album launch happens early Feb in Berlin.
We’re playing the album in it’s entirety + new material! Looking forward to working with the nice folks at AckerStadtPalast.
Also, we’re pressing 100 limited edition CDS complete with beautiful artwork which was part of the Miles journey, these CDs will be on sale at the gig.
We put out Ocean, a single off Miles a few days back, and looks like you guys are really liking it. We’re thrilled at the response, and the track also made the SoundCloud explore page – pretty rad. You can download a HQ version (lossless WAV) for free here.
Today we set out to film video in one of the busiest markets in Chennai, aided by the incredible skills of Ranjani (DOP) and Balaji (Director). After seeing some of the footage, it’s safe to say that I haven’t been this excited in a while!
Found this great piece in the NYT courtesy of a colleague at SoundCloud. The ideas that the author talks about, although mostly rooted in biological reasoning really resonated with me. It also brought to light things I (and most of the digital music generation) have been taking for granted.
Or, why I love Vinyl – from the giddy schoolboy excitement of running home from the record store, to opening up the sleeve to unravel the mysteries within, to finally holding a piece of art which warrants and demands your complete attention – is a feeling that is not easily captured by digital mediums. Unless one is a complete flummox-head, it is hard to ignore the wonderful all-encompassing blissful warmth and vibe of an LP, given the sonics of which are being faithfully reproduced by a worthy system.
Digital music, I love thee and you have your place – but 320kbps or not, I’m not going anywhere from my beloved LPs.
Played my first European show with the band on 21st September whilst introducing new material from Miles, and was absolutely amazed at the kind of response we got. Love you Berlin.
