Manoj - Bang Twice

"Manoj" is the Side Project of "Nioka". 
In this new Project he goes more into the electronic experimental direction with melodic and spheric influences. 
But listen and find out for yourself.

Manoj ist das neue, 2014 gegründete Side Project von Nioka.
Hier geht er es allerdings etwas ruhiger an. Experimentelle, elektronische Klänge gewürzt mit seiner ganz eigenen Note. Begleitet von atmosphärischen Soundscapes, sind seine Tracks meist melodisch, teils melancholisch angehaucht. Am Besten einfach reinhören und verzaubern lassen.


Pixeloid is the alter ego of Praveen Venugopal who began his journey when he found a calling towards the digital arts as a student of Information Technology at Griffith University in Australia. Upon realising the same he quickly channeled his interests to exploring and studying visual communication design and moved to New Delhi, where he attended college at the National Institute of Fashion & Technology, India. With a deeper understanding he found a strong connection between the visual arts and sonar vibrations of music. He was quick to learn the art of visual jockeying with a vision to craft unique audio visual experiences since 2005 as the world is always looking for different ways of viewing and appreciating their surroundings; music along with visuals helps one experience and perceive from within. In 2007, he attended a short course on Electronic Music Production from the SAE Institute in New Delhi. 

In 2008, he had founded Fusioncraft in Bahrain, to curate unique audio-visual experiences with some of the best Artist's, DJ's and Performers from both the local Underground and International Music Scene creating as well as working with some of the most memorable Event IP's ever witnessed in the region. During this time he has also attended and travelled across various Music Festivals in Europe which showed him a broader horizon of the global music festival culture.

In 2017,  life events made him move back to India where he works with various Events & Experiential Marketing agencies. However, he continues to explore his interests towards the digital arts. Since art has no boundaries, his path now has him experimenting and storytelling by expressing himself through electronic music .

无论是能量爆满的Psytrance，或是感性浪漫的4/4律动，抑或运用疗愈乐器营造进入冥想放松的氛围，多种风格在她不同的引领下都能将意识突破局限，则犹如阴阳双鱼，看似对立游戏，但平衡而调和，灵动而恬淡。

On many journeys she discovered the best tool for exploring the inner - music. Her favourite and collected music often incorporates the humanities and nature of different regions and dimensions, excelling in mysterious and inviting exotic instruments, human voices, and rich sampling.

Whether it is full of energy Psytrance, or emotional romantic 4 / 4 rhythm, Or use healing musical instruments to create an atmosphere of meditation and relaxation. Many styles, under her different guidance, can push consciousness beyond its limits. They are like yin and yang, seemingly opposing games, but balanced and reconciled, moving and serene.

She is adept at using waning and changing psychedelic beats and delicate movements to allow listeners to naturally integrate sensory and consciousness in the process of feeling music. Her desire is to use music to bring a progressive spiritual experience to all people, while also comforting and healing the mind.
