There’s talent and skill there and we’re keeping our eyes peeled. Still, we’re very keen to see what the young trio has in store for the future. There’s no denying the importance of great gear and expertise in production, but they’ll never get you an idea. Truly exceptional music, however, boils down to composition, the feeling and mood behind the sound and how that translates to music. Don’t get us wrong, there’s definitely potential. While that warmth comes through in ‘Handwired’s production, the fledgeling act is clearly currently playing with sound, still in search of a defining aesthetic and mood. Paraphoniks is certainly blessed with a range of gear that a lot of producers would envy, as the image above should tell you. Our main intention with this album is to share and spread the beauty of pure analog sound that we have been blessed to experience ourselves.” We feel that that’s one of the factors which has brought all the life to our sound and music and hence the title. Each sound on this album, from the kick to the bassline has been physically wired together. It just came together in the process of having fun and experimenting with modular synthesizers and using them in the musical realm. “‘Handwired’ was never planned or even thought of. The trio’s inclination towards electronic music in the recent past is what led them to form Paraphoniks, and their influences include Modeselektor, Deadmau5, Apparat, Trentmoller, Radiohead, Jon Hopkins and Brian Eno. Sushant Joshi is a self-taught musician who also studied audio engineering in Mumbai. They recently sent us their debut, 9-track album ‘Handwired’ – a pure analog listen that had our ears perk up on first listen.Īll three members of Paraphoniks have a history in sound – Trinity alumnus Aman Nath and Shatrunjai Dewan, who studied audio engineering in Singapore, are both classically trained pianists. Paraphoniks is a Mumbai based three-person electronic outfit made up of Aman Nath, Shatrunjai Dewan and Sushant Joshi.
