“the garden" EP is a self-produced and written venture into my mind state; finding calm and peace in a locked down world. 

The sound on this project ranges from energetic, bouncy alternative tracks, driven by synth bass and beats such as “Rosy” and even “Sunday"; to the slower, pensive piano-led songs like “See You"; and the more alternative, bedroom-style track like “New Peace” and "Tulips". The vocals and melodies consistently glide overhead though, with influence from my South Asian roots coming through in the writing style.

the garden EP

This soulful R&B song was created entirely in my bedroom, from idea to master. In this song, I wanted to capture the feeling that isn't talked about a lot. The feeling that ultimately, the people around you may not believe in your dream, and the lifestyle you are trying to create. This feeling is captured from the perspective of me talking to an ex, who never expected me to grow into something bigger.

1. Rosy

Lilac Screen is produced and written by satchit, the song exudes a chilled energy throughout the verses that float over clean guitars, multitudes of percussion and distorted synths. The track is about media influence and how we consume the news.

satchit produces a sound that transports a listener into this idealistic but flawed world; traversing virtuality and reality with both vocals and instrumentation. With production styles reminiscent of Blood Orange and melodies reminiscent of Frank Ocean with South Asian influence, this track embodies the style of music that keeps listeners seated and rapt.
