Everything Live

Voyager began with the riff in the chorus, which came to me while I was practising in my bedroom. Inspired by the journeys of the Voyager space-probes, I wanted to tackle the dichotomy of space exploration as I see it, both endlessly confusing, and endlessly fascinating. I tried to build this contrast into my song, with certain parts that are sparse, distant, and disorienting, while others are in your face and all around you. The song is divided into two distinct sections. 'Pt. 1: Discovery' describes the probes' journeys through our solar system, traversing unprecedented distances and making fascinating findings. 'Pt. 2: Out of Reach' (3:53) laments the day that the probes will no longer be able to communicate with us, lost to humanity but continuing on their journey. With the exception of drums (Abhishek Raj Sinha) and backing vocals (Urvi Bhattacharya), I recorded everything myself, and also mixed the song. It was mastered by Keshav Dhar.
