Today\u2019s Alum in Focus series highlights the work and artistry of <\/span>Abhishek <\/span>Sekhri<\/span><\/a>, a music composer, mix engineer and founder of Kintsugi Studios. \u201cAn enjoyable aspect I like about music is jumping from complexity to simplicity, allowing me to experiment with many sounds while also maintaining some humility. I think my journey as an artist changes from each song. When I am listening to my composition or even other people’s songs, I tend to focus on the potential of the track.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Abhishek\u2019s journey with music began early in his teenage years and he continues to work towards experimenting with his sound. \u201cMy influences at the time were taken in by my father who would be listening to Pink Floyd, Michael Jackson, Barbra Streisand and Billy Joel. One particular song I was fond of was “Shine On You Crazy Diamond\u201d by Pink Floyd which was around twenty one minutes long. I was confused about what I was listening to, but that sensability grew on me and I started enjoying it all.\u201d While studying at <\/span>Global Music Institute<\/span><\/a>, Abhishek grew a liking towards composition and writing his own creative material. \u201cI was always attracted to the creation aspect of music. I think a lot of the things I learned at GMI are still an aspect of my current life, especially when it comes to composition. Music education provided me with an instinctiveness to understand my creative process in terms of what works and what doesn\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Beginning his journey as a guitarist, Abhishek knew little about the production aspects of music, that was until he first visited the Ferris Wheel Studio. \u201cWhen I first visited the studio, that was my introduction to music production and recording. I got the opportunity to understand the process, learn about microphones, the importance of a studio and having a soundproof room. I wished to learn more and therefore did a few courses to understand more about production.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
