Recorded an unplugged cover of 'Choo Lo' by The Local Train on the hostel terrace while the wind was howling. Imperfect vocals, simple D-Bm-G-A chord progression, but the raw acoustic resonance of a hostel terrace at 1 AM hits differently. Drop your audio links!

If you want to record your guitar or vocals into a laptop without noisy static: Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen (used around ₹5,000) or Behringer U-Phoria UM2 (budget option around ₹3,200). Pair with a dynamic microphone like Shure SM58 or Samson Q2U. Perfect starter setup.

Experimented with playing Raga Bhairavi phrases over a neo-soul major 9th chord progression on electric violin. The microtonal komal re and komal dha sound so ethereal against lush jazz harmony. Happy to share tab sheets if anyone wants to experiment!
