And so to embody or to work with the High Priestess is to come to that energy with open arms , an open heart , a celebration of self and of authenticity , or not at all ! As the song says - “ Put your soul into it , when you ’ re dealing with the High Priestess ”.
What ’ s your songwriting process like ?
I have a few guidelines that I work with : Never show up with an agenda when writing something brand new Be vulnerable and honest , even if it seems petty , weird or crazy ! Always voice note any melodic ideas while they ’ re fresh Solidify your bass line first and foremost Don ’ t overlay drums unless you ’ re happy with the melodies ! Write from the heart Don ’ t worry about the “ hit single ” Of course these are just guidelines , not solid rules . But They work very well for me . I let the rest of my process vary from song to song , mood to mood . I also never force a song if I find I ’ m not in a space to write or produce , it just ends in major frustration .
Talk to us about the gear you used to produce this album ?
First off , I am lucky , privileged and blessed enough to have created this entire project in my home studio here in Mumbai .
The whole album was produced in Logic Pro X , and supplemented by the use of the amazing Komplete Kontrol S49 by Native Instruments ! I also used a few samples from Splice , which really is very versatile and useful for production . I recorded all my vocals in ProTools using an SM7B ( Shure ) and of course my Apollo Twin X was on board throughout the entire process . I used a lot of Waves plugins too , they ’ re my go-to for several things . I used my Audio-Technica ATH-M50x a lot , as well KRK Rokit 5 ’ s .
