I am a flutist who creates ambient music. I play several different flutes: concert flute, bass flute, and bansuri. My flute playing is enhanced by applying electronic treatments using a Line 6 Pod Go and in production. Lately, I have been adding textures to my music with field recordings, which are often manipulated. I also add touches of synthesizer and other electronic elements. Much of my music contains looping. I also use collaging techniques where I will take a flute part I record, divide it into parts and reassemble them, loop them, process them, to create a track. I have suffered from severe anxiety and depression my entire life and I find the act of making music very immersive and centering. It provides me with peace and my intent is to create some peace for the listener.
