Collaborations
This video was made by my friend, neighbour, fellow creative and a gifted musician Sangram Malik of the experimental rock trio That Boy Roby. See more interviews on his channel
This video was made by the talented and lovely A&Y to document the artist residency of the International Rollercoaster Club that I organised at Uttarayan Art Centre in Baroda, India with my talented artist friends and colleagues from India, Japan, Austria and Spain - we shared an electric month of creating and sharing ideas together and Alber and Yago created this beautiful video capturing the energy of us all together working away. Also check out this little post about our residency by my friend and the amazing artist Iria Do Castello.

Music
I'm very lucky to have a handful of dear friends in Delhi who are incredibly talented musicians and wonderful chefs, which naturally makes for a great weekend plan!
We are Ikigai . We make music mostly on the weekends as we work on weekdays on art, design, film, photography, engineering and other varied professions. Here are some rough recordings - more in the works.
