In 2012, Chennai-born Shri formed Nonviolenze, a creative studio conceptualised to “tie the music to a visual experience... tying the painting to the music, to the poetry,” and that is when he started putting out singles. But only in 2020 did he release his debut album, Ghosts Of War, which is about “politics, religious warfare, and how people have lost track of these issues, and should do their civic duties unconditionally”. A dream come trueThe album came together seamlessly, particularly over the “quiet time” of the pandemic, recalls Shri. The album took a year and a half, starting in early 2019 and Shri finished all the technical recording in March, while mastering took three months. He shares he has another album coming out in a couple of weeks.
