Describe your typical work day in the studio .
We wouldn ' t term it as a ' Work Day ' kind of stuff . For us , everyday is pretty fun & we really love our work . Somedays , we might spend hours on mixing background scores for films & there are days where we take a break & chill . However a normal day starts with a good music listening session first . Then , we head on to complete our work deliveries , depending on deadlines . So , there ' s no such specific schedule for us .
Take us through some of your most significant releases from your studio and why it is special .
Working with artists such as Prasant Pillai , Raghu Dixit , Vasuki Vaibhav , Sanjith Hegde , Charan Raj , All Ok , Ricky Kej & AD agencies such as Webchutney , Veeville , Nirvana , Cinimage , Vivi 5 , Fat free & a lot more , has been an amazing experience for us . There are a lot of releases & work we cherish till date . However , the recent one ' s to name would be Malgudi Days ( kannada film ). The whole journey was surreal for us . From travelling places to record strings , guitars , orchestral parts to having amazing people to work with , is something we still feel special about . Also , the recent film we worked on called Neeli Hakki have been nominated for quite a few international Film festivals . It was a very fun & amazing experience working on the movie . We have
some amazing indies & commercial releases lined up too . The recent ADs we loved working on were TVCs for Himalaya , Digital ADs & Jingles for Furlenco , Homelane , OLA cabs , Swiggy , Canara bank and a lot more .
What ’ s your next buy for the studio ?
This is a tough question . We have so many things in mind to get next . However to name a few would be microphones from Eartrumpet Labs , AEA & JZ . And , we are also looking forward to upgrading & getting more 500 series strips for our recording chain .
