With @mikesscheidt & @evadfrench of YOB. I’ve been incredibly lucky in meeting all my idols at @desertfest_berlin so far & this was really special. Thank you Mike and the band for being a constant source of inspiration in life and playing one of the best shows ever. I’m the happiest man alive now.

Last night I saw my favourite doom, sludge band and probably the most heaviest band live, the mighty @quantumyob at the second day of @desertfest_berlin . It was a cathartic, life-changing, spiritual experience. They sounded heavier than I imagined and the setlist was just bloody perfect and moving. This one will be remembered forever!

It was an honour to meet and converse with Nick Disalvo from @elderband who’s a freaking guitar hero and a legend. Had the opportunity to personally thank him for the music and being one of my primarily influences to write and compose music as a musician and a big big influence for @dirge.india . Truly life changing! He was everything I had wished he would be. Gracious, generous & curious to hear about Indian doom/sludge scene and what’s coming next. Day 1 of @desertfest_berlin started off on a real special note.

Some clips from the madness that went down last evening during @skrrtt.skrrrt ‘s set at @simba.uproar . ICONIC set and performance as always but last night was truly special. Always a pleasure to work with @saqlenhasankhan & @thaltejpublishingcompany and have them believe in my work. Splitting the audio with @daidipyasheth handling the monitors like a boss. It’s honestly not an easy task considering how intense and diverse the whole set is. Team work truly makes the dream work. Thanks to @renielkreji for these clips

Massive gig and rig for @amitprakashmishra last night at @iesuniversity Bhopal. Always a great time mixing & hanging on and off stage with these fine gentlemen @ashwinshriyan @aritra_on_the_drums @sayor_dabba_ghosh @samriddha_mohanta @uttam_kumar_hela23 @prateek.gupta154 @kk_kamleshkalyani Thank you for an incredible tech support and the amazing sounding system @foh_prabhat @durgeshsound New learning: You can NEVER go wrong with a JBL system. The VTX series have to be the most versatile, accessible and solid sounding systems in the market when deployed right.

What a productive weekend. Had the opportunity to mix FOH & monitors for 4 bands / artists at the @un40fam festival in Bangalore. @maahiforyou @pragati_nagpal @paradox.here @lashcurryhihai Great sets & performances by all the bands. Amazing tech support by @reynoldssound_lighting and one of the best deployed @dbaudiotechnik KSLs I’ve heard. Great catching up with a lot of fellow engineer friends, too. Grateful ✊🏼

I had the privilege of creating the cover art for Dirge’s new single Endless Night, which releases today. 🌊🗻 This carousel shares a bit of the thinking behind the piece. If you swipe all the way, you'll see an alternate colour way which was considered. 👀 Endless Night releases today, along with a beautiful new music video now on YouTube, and the single is streaming everywhere. --- The fantastic set of photos on slide 13 are shot by @mikig2 📸🙌🤘 --- [heavy, sludge music, doom metal, rock, metal, hardcore, post metal, slow, mountain, drawing, pen and ink, sketch, ocean, texture, black and white, work in progress, hand drawn, album cover, cover art] --- #sludge #postmetal #metal #albumart
