about

“In a world of option paralysis, I've found that limitation becomes liberation, and constraint fuels creation..”

The Option Paralysis series reflects my personal journey of experimenting with my production process by deliberately limiting the tools I have at hand. In today's landscape overflowing with infinite choices and cutting-edge digital equipment, it’s all too easy to drown in the vast ocean of possibilities. This EP is a product of my decision to embrace certain constraints, delve deep into the wealth of creativity within those boundaries and aim to overcome the paralysis.

Vol.1 kicks off with "When in Doubt", my attempt at crafting an ever-evolving atmospheric soundscape. It's a piece inspired by nature's frequencies, blended with a low-slung, chuggy bass. "Free Fall" is my ode to the outdoors - built around pads from field recordings, adorned with synthetic melodies and drums tinted with a hint of noise. Drawing from languages from my native roots, 'Salahalu' - the Telugu term for 'suggestion' - is more conducive to the dance floor, with bubbling tension, trancy leads and hypnotic synth patterns. 'Thamaara', which means 'lotus' in Malayalam, concludes the EP, weaving together psychedelic textures and grounding rhythms.
