Psytrus is a t-shirt and jeans kinda guy. Having been in the indie music scene for the past 7 years as frontman of Slunk (now on hiatus), and later embarking on a different musical journey of self discovery. Trading the electric guitar and the expansive gadgetry for an acoustic guitar, Psytrus is baring all. Never being the one afraid to experiment, expect to hear sounds influenced by the alternative 90’s, the psychedelic 60’s and the kitchen sink.

Having made some waves playing solo acoustic, Psytrus eventually started performing with a backing band, The Third Party, (named after an inside joke). The Third Party is occasionally augmented with guest musicians on harmonica, saxophone, piano or violin to add a twist to the arrangement. Whether it’s Psytrus solo, or Psytrus and the Third Party, it all boils down to the story of a man and his guitar, with lyrics from the heart and music from the soul.

Psytrus operates Pulse Soundworks, a recording studio in SS18, Subang Jaya, Malaysia. Since Slunk and Psytrus and the Third Party, he has played/sessioned for numerous acts including FishEye, Rashdan Harith, Salam, Ray Cheong and most recently, HardCandy. Psytrus also writes and composes music for corporate use, most recent being “Atasi Segalanya”, the theme song for the Malaysian Olympic contingent.

If you bump in to him at a local pub playing his favourite covers, don't forget to say hi and buy him a beer.

Pulse Soundworks is an audio production studio in Subang Jaya, Malaysia.

Headed by Madan "Psytrus" Theerthapathy, whose experience as an audio engineer, singer/songwriter and composer creates the perfect balance between technicality and creativity, our main goal is to provide the infrastructure to push Malaysian music to higher levels.

Since home recording became increasingly affordable over the past decade, independently produced music have become abundant over the internet. However, there has been a lack of quality control. Taking advantage of of the new array of gear currently available in the market and the vast experience of our production team, we are able to put together a music production system that parallels industry standard gear without having to resort to big brand names. The result is professional production quality at competitive rates.

Employing trusted German digital audio technology and selected handmade hardware, we are able to deliver pristine 24bit/96kHz audio, capturing every subtle nuance of a performance.

With a large live room capable of accommodating a full rock band with space to spare, we aim to bring back the days live multi track recording, capturing the magic in it's truest form.

We also provide, audio editing and mixing services, commercial music composition, jingle production, voice over and audio dubbing.

We really are passionate about sound, and everything to do with it, hence the name Pulse Soundworks. But don't take our word for it. Let your ears be the judge.
