Arnob Bal is a music producer, composer, audio engineer, and podcaster based out of Mumbai, India, and Toronto, Canada! In his second episode on Secret Sonics, Arnob shares his thoughts on balancing play with work, pursuing learning and growth, attempting to be present, and showing up for the music you've committed to make. We go deep on his production work with the artist Mali, his personal musical projects, exploring alternative versions of tension and release, philosophical lessons from Hegel, Daoism, and so much more! Check it out!
