2025- A Year in Music

This one’s for y’all who’ve have had an impact on me this year, small or big. 2025 has been a remarkable year for me musically- it’s stopped being just about what notes to play, I’ve started connecting ideas together and it’s starting to make more sense. A musical toddler, I’ve started making my first sounds and putting them together into sputtering and hopefully intelligible phrases. Here’s to making more intelligible noise in the coming year.

And now, an invocation to the sonic gods, to grant us the discipline to come to our instruments so we may gain control and mastery of our form, and also the suppleness to let the muses take us where they may. May we step boldly into uncharted waters in 2026, and collectively push the bar.

Stay sexy y’all,

Siddarth

I’m still here

Minus the scruff

Err…it’s been a while since you last heard from me. Yes, I’m alive and well. I quit my corporate job in Austin, TX about this time last year and moved back to India for good shortly after. What have I been doing you ask? Prepare for an entirely more detailed answer than you were hoping for

  • I travelled to Kochi and Bangalore for about a month and made some new artist friends
