Riding the First Wave: Why I Started This Blog 


Hello there, I hope you’re all doing well. This is JSnake, just a mammal on Earth who loves hearing sounds. As someone who loves music so much that I can’t take my earphones off, I want to dedicate this page to music — one of my favorite parts of me. Being a curious person, I truly enjoy exploring sounds from all around the world: countless noises, remixes, and genres that I can experience while sitting in one place. To me, it feels like traveling to a whole new world and visiting it for three minutes… or however long the song lasts.

So why this sudden thought of writing a blog about music out of nowhere? Honestly, I get it — it feels random. But the reason comes from a small story. Today, while traveling home by bus, I didn’t have a seat, so I had to stand the whole way. Standing for an hour can be painful, with legs aching badly. What did I do? I popped in my earphones and played a song called ‘Aaha’ from the movie Vaazhl.

The moment I heard it, I was transported to a completely different place — where it was just me and the waves of the sea. I can’t even put into words how the song made me feel. Music has that secret power. For someone like me, who’s too lazy to wake up early for a sunrise, this song made me feel what a sunrise looks like.


The entire album of Vaazhl was composed by one of my favorite singers, Pradeep Rangaswamy Kumar. He’s my absolute favorite — to the point where I squeal whenever I hear his voice. And this album shocked me! The fact that he could compose an entire masterpiece for a film left me stunned. Just like this album, there are so many unexplored gems I want to share here… and that’s why I started this blog

I’ll be talking about many types of music here — from Carnatic to EDM. Since writing about music makes me so happy, I’ve promised myself to post every week (fighting against my procrastinating self). If this blog page were like a message in a bottle thrown into the deep ocean, I hope you stumble upon it — and that it makes you happy too.

Meet Our Therapist

 Meet Our Therapist Hey! Welcome to Wednesday! And what does Wednesday stand forrr? Exactly, my fellow readers  it’s our time to tune into waves! Before I tell you what I’m going to talk about today, I’d like to start with a story. After finishing my test in college, I was waiting for the results to come out. Yeahhh, it was really exhausting and tiring as well. My friend was sitting beside me, and accidentally I saw her lock screen. It said, “I have a therapist and that is music.” If I’m quoting it right? (Friend, do correct me if I’m wrong!) And that’s how I got the title for this blog: “Meet Our Therapist!” Well, do you know who earns better than a therapist? Drum rolls ... a music composer! Just kidding  therapists do earn well, but it’s true though! Music has the ability to cure the same problems a therapist does   mental health struggles. In today’s world, where everything is spinning so fast and we’re all running like rats on a wheel, we need a break!...

A Sound from an Empty Vessel

 A Sound from an Empty Vessel Hello everyone! I’m really happy that some people read this blog — even if it’s just one or two, I’m truly grateful for that. One of my friends asked me, “The violin has cousins, but does it have a mom or dad?” Well, the origin of string instruments actually starts with the bow harp . It’s similar to the harp we’re familiar with today, but in a shorter version. You could say it’s like the great-great-grandparent of modern string instruments. But now, we’re moving into a different family background — this time, we’re meeting the percussion family . Whether you agree with me or not, there’s no denying that any song with a good beat gives you a little rush of thrill! Sure, melodies are sweet and soothing, but when it comes to making your heart race with excitement — a beat a day can truly make your day brighter. So, who’s the parent behind all these thrilling rhythms? Let’s travel back in time — way back to ancient days — when percussion instruments fi...
