just open your eyes
No full textIt is easy to fall in the comfort of past memories and try to relive them. It is easy to get lost in the regrets of the past and feel the need to go back to the start and fix them. Similarly, it is easy to get swept away in planning out the future in hopes of avoiding the subsequent worries. In a world that is focused on moving forward so as to not be left behind, opening your eyes to the present and remaining rooted in this very moment is more valuable than anything. “just open your eyes” is a project rooted in the importance of being present. Featuring evocative songwriting uplifted by shoegaze-like “walls of sound” guitars, rhythms from breakbeat and traditional Indian instruments like the sitar and tabla, this body of work is a curated genre-blending EP portraying the journey of actively practicing this way of life.https://remix.berklee.edu/graduate-studies-cmat/1112/thumbnail.jp

No full text90 Seconds, that\u27s all it takes to erase a whole city. In the blink of an eye, buildings crumble, and lives are shattered. Through the lens of three intertwined stories, we witness the resilience of the human spirit as survivors rebuild what was lost. Aanya, a 15-year-old motherless girl, sees her world collapse as the earthquake strikes during her school performance, and now makes the journey to find her father. A homeless man, overlooked by society, becomes an unexpected beacon of hope after the earthquake. He guides and comforts others, as only he has the keys of survival on the streets. A drifting couple from Southern India rediscover love and purpose, as they face the ruins together. In 90 Seconds the Musical, the threads of loss, hope and renewal weave together to tell a story of survival and healing in the wake of the 2001 Gujarat earthquake.https://remix.berklee.edu/graduate-studies-cmat/1195/thumbnail.jp
