Time Wise - No One Fits (Live Session) // Compass Box Music

Recorded live in one take. _________________________ Born out of conversations, jam sessions and the yen to be the change we want to see on the Ahmedabad music scene, Time Wise brings together musicians who speak several different 'languages', from the idioms of jazz and blues, to Hindustani classical music. Everything we have heard, and everything we play, feeds into the new lexicon we're inching towards devising together. Our musical preoccupations are manifold, and our originals span the width of jazz, ranging from the traditional to the more exploratory.

Char - Make Me Smile (Live Session) // Compass Box Music

Recorded live in one take. _________________________ 'Char' is a group of musicians from Ahmedabad. Their ages, musical backgrounds, personalities, and now hometowns are wildly different, but they did somehow come together to make this song. The group consists of Marc Damania, Sreenath Srinivasan, Shankar Iyer, and Meera Desai. 'Make Me Smile' was a song that Shankar and Meera composed as a simple duet, which then grew to a larger creature once brought to Sreenath and Marc, who arranged the song for full band. After creating many iterations of the song, they decided on one, got the chance to present it in this Compass Box Session and hoped to play together again soon. Until then, each of them is playing in their own projects!

An open mind, the drive to learn, the spirit of collaboration and adventure, and the pursuit of versatility form the core of my musical endeavours ever since I learned my first chord on an acoustic guitar at age 12.

I play pop, rock, country, blues, jazz, funk and world/fusion music on fretted or fretless, 4, 5 or 6 string electric basses and can provide backing vocals. I studied Indian classical music (tabla) for 5 years.

As of 2020, I have 18 years of live performance experience (as a musician) and 8 years of studio experience (as a musician and voice-over artist).
