What was your early introduction to music?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>JJ<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> : Well my subconscious introduction to music probably happened at a very young age with me primarily drumming on a sofa with plastic swords I used as a toy, accompanying my uncle who was a big Dylan and Beatles fan so evenings were spent jamming\u00a0 while he sang and played the guitar. Soon enough I was given a snare drum and I only played it for a few days&#8230;I was 8, so things didn\u2019t go any further than that.. When I was about 15-16 at my school\u2019s fun fair, I\u00a0 saw the early line up of the band \u2018Something Relevant\u2019 perform, and that was my moment of realization- a fascination ran\u00a0 through my mind and I knew that I wanted to do this. I met a bunch of talented people through college, jammed with them and also had a fantastic private instructor who taught me at home. He had a great method and that helped me sculpt my initial learnings. His fine way of incorporating enjoyment and discipline to teach music helped me a lot\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><b>Before we delve into all the studio stuff, you\u2019ve also played the drums for many indie acts, how did that come along for you and are there any\u00a0 fond memories you have as a drummer?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>JJ:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I have got many interesting memories! The first band I played with was called \u2018Zephar\u2019 and we actually won the first ever Launch Pad by Channel V (2005). It was probably one of the biggest crowds I\u2019ve played to- about twenty thousand people. It definitely felt like there was some sense of success in that considering I was 17 and it made me feel confident about the future. \u2018Zephar\u2019 unfortunately didn\u2019t go much further\u00a0 but my sense of professional approach towards music lifted and that\u2019s when I started playing with \u2018Something Relevant.\u2019 That\u00a0 was a very big learning experience with a lot of hustle throughout. We organized auditorium gigs and were extremely entrepreneurial w<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ith our approach to setting up ourselves in the music landscape. We toured internationally, played at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and collectively went to Swarnabhoomi Academy of Music (SAM) later. Going to SAM was our upgrade plan for what was next for us as musicians.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sessions From The Press - Specials - Dinosaur Pile-Up\" width=\"1060\" height=\"596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xDDIT7Ac4Zs?start=409&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><b>I remember meeting you at Cotton Press Studios (CPS) many years ago, and back then, it definitely already felt like a premium recording facility\u2026before we move on to ICS, how was the initial journey setting up CPS and what were early days of audio engineering like?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>JJ:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Right after our time at SAM where we met Rohan Ramanna we moved back to Bombay and needed a space where we could work, record as a band and even do commercial projects-basically be a lot more meticulous with music and plans. We decided to jump right into the deep end, with no compromises whatsoever and ended up setting up the huge space we all called Cotton Press Studios.\u00a0 The place was set up but my expertise was not so we were primarily dependent on Rohan and Tanmay to use their technical proficiencies to run the press while all the others, including me, learned by observing. That was my school for audio engineering. I\u00a0 learned a great deal there and it was very hands-on. We made lots of mistakes, turning knobs and being thrown into sessions where I was nothing but lost and had to figure my way through. I had to teach myself how to be prepped before a session and would often YouTube stuff before getting into a recording- sometimes even basic things like \u2018how to set up a vocal mic to get the best sound.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><b>Moving to Island City Studios, I\u2019m sure you\u2019re proud to call it your baby&#8230;was it easy setting up a space this big?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>JJ:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I\u2019m extremely proud! Island City took about a year to come up. Cotton Press was great, but Island City had to be a game changer. The vision with ICS was big, well defined, a state of the art facility with a well laid out plan. It had to be beyond just the music facilities and also cater to a clientele that wanted more out of an audio-recording service experience. Location was pertinent, Khar is a central spot and we really wanted to set up shop in the market as opposed to the market coming to us. This was a major level up for us. We had many problems as we went along building the space&#8230;everything from the material not arriving on time to the measurements not being matched to the blueprints. We even needed permissions since a lot of civil work was involved. What started in August 2017 only got wrapped up in July 2018 and what we had in the end was a studio ready to record. If someone had recorded at CPS, they really knew the top quality and vibe we were known for, so to translate that seamlessly into the functioning of ICS was extremely important.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\".DOE - DON&#039;T CARE Live at Island City Studios\" width=\"1060\" height=\"596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8mH7KEvioyo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><b>You all work as a collective at the studio, how does that work?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>JJ:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Yes we\u2019re called the \u2018Salvage Audio Collective\u2019 and it\u2019s different than having a band per say. We really do leave the egos outside the door before entering the room to commence a new project. While bands have egos, we have a director. We\u2019re bound to listen to the project director and only move into something with a plan. Best part is that all members of Salvage have played in bands so we\u2019re all aware of those ego-situations that come up in collectives and our experience of that has taught us exactly what not to do in this collective.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><b>What are you views on the importance of music education and its relevance?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>JJ:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I personally believe formal education is key. It doesn\u2019t have to be in the form of a degree or diploma in its entirety but at least some form of disciplined learning is crucial. It\u2019s really about spending time practicing, honing the craft and immersing yourself in a learning environment that directly affects your approach to a subject. Music educators truly help to set up a solid foundation and it might not be as long as\u00a0 3-4 years of study but any sort of structured learning helps. Even now, I would love to take some time off and spend time studying film composition because I know it would help me deliver my work much faster as opposed to me figuring out things as I go. Dedicated learning in a few months helps so much more because it prepares you for situations you don\u2019t even know you will be getting into and that\u2019s extremely important.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"For Your Time (Live at Island City Studio)\" width=\"1060\" height=\"596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SfcDoxrvRrA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><b>If there is one advice you could give to younger budding musicians\/engineers, what would that be?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>JJ:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Things can be endlessly vast being a musician so focus is very important. Be focused and jump into something with a plan otherwise one might just be jumping from here to there with not much outcome. Definitely be patient. Nothing happens overnight.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u2018In Conversation with\u2019 series brings to you the stories of musicians and their journeys.
