This confusion runs deeper than personal relationships; it shapes entire careers, industries, and the inherited scripts we mistake for our own lives. 

What comes up:

  • Why the decisions that change your life rarely feel safe at the time
  • Why the brain is a prediction machine, not a happiness machine
  • Liking things simply because we've seen them before
  • The known wound vs. the unknown opening
  • The music industry as an amplified version of everyone's life
  • The starving artist: when suffering becomes a costume, then an identity
  • Is this safe, or just recognised?

It isn't, and not for the reasons most people think.

In this episode I unpack why the word itself was never really the problem, what's actually happening when we can't hold a line, and why the emotional aftermath of a boundary is harder than the boundary itself.

Drawn from real situations — a collaboration that needed a hard conversation, a coaching relationship that got uncomfortably accurate, and years of running a business through someone else's framework, this one gets personal.

What comes up:

  • Why setting boundaries is easy and living with them isn't
  • The two identities in conflict every time you want to say no
  • How chronic yes becomes a survival strategy — and then a prison
  • Why managing other people's emotions is costing you more than you think
  • What congruence actually feels like when you finally get there

Sandhya Sanjana is one of those humans.

Long before "world music" became a marketing category, she was part of a generation of home-grown South-Asian artists blurring the edges of jazz, global and Indian classical music by a trial and error met with genuine curiosity, rather than novelty. 

Co-founder one of India's earliest internationally touring world-fusion ensembles, Sanjana has been more than thirty albums, and spent decades moving between radically different musical worlds without reducing either of them into aesthetic decoration.

In this conversation, we try to trace that arc.

From an upbringing between Bombay and Delhi, to the nightclub circuits of Calcutta, with first-generation Indian Jazz musicians.

From backstage blessings from Alice Coltrane after the exchange of a cassette tape, to the origins of India’s first international festival ‘Jazz Yatra’ where the appearances from the likes of icons such Art Blakey, Max Roach, Stan Getz, Freddie Hubbard and John Handy and their days in India in open exchange with local musicians threaten to fade away amidst undocumented history.

What emerges is not nostalgia, but a portrait of a generation of artists that worked without the visibility, institutional support, or mythology later scenes would inherit. 

Artists building language in real time. Documenting culture through performance while remaining largely undocumented themselves.

In the words of Sandhya herself, much of that era was "not presented to the world." 

This conversation tries to remember.

Although the workshop was conducted for pianists, the conversation quickly moves beyond music into larger questions of authorship, vocation, and identity: who we believe ourselves to be, how that belief shapes our lives, and what shifts when we begin to treat life itself as a work of art rather than a moving part within an industrial machine.

]]> For over twenty years, Peter Crone (‘’The Mind Architect’’, ‘’Human Ayahuasca’’), has worked with some of the world’s most elite athletes, CEOs, artists, and Hollywood icons, helping them dissolve the mental constructs that create limitation and suffering. 

His approach doesn't attempt to offer behavioural fixes or quick-fix strategies, but goes where generic self-help tends to tiptoe around: dismantling the core beliefs underneath accepted constraints in the first place.

But embracing a period of rest and reflection in January could be the strategic move needed to fuel your creativity, prevent burnout, and enhance overall productivity. By allowing your nervous system the time and care to regulate, you can set the stage for a more focused and successful year, grow new ideas, and maintain mental health. 

 

In a world that often equates perfect with excellence, it's easy to overlook how such mindsets can obscure the true essence of creativity: sincerity. 

This episode delves into the emotional complexity behind how many of us inadvertently sacrifice the genuine sincerity that breathes life into our life in an attempt to abandon perfectionist habits.

She’s basically one of the best out there, for those who find language like that easier to understand. 

But what makes Sæunn stand out beyond her accolades are the challenges she throws at accepted narratives both in the classical music world and beyond. 

Sæunn is the kind of kindred spirit I don’t have to circle around or soften edges for. There’s an immediate intellectual and emotional honesty and shared language that allows us to get straight to the heart of the matter without performance.

This was her first reappearance on Tapasya Loading since lockdown. 

The last time we spoke, the world was paused.  And both of us have stepped away from academia as full-time identities since, and re-examined calendars from a  different lens as performing artists as well. 

A central thread in this chat is our shared fascination, and frustration, with how many co-artists remain passively locked into inherited industry narratives. 

So we talk candidly about how many of these myths get internalized, shape behaviour, and how difficult it can be to step outside them without feeling like we’re risking our worth.

We reflect on the assumption of being ‘busy’ being the same as being ‘good’, and the fear and freedom that comes when we’re no longer chasing multiple forms of what are essentially external sources of validation.

By the time we finally are ready to reach out, we've experienced what I refer to as one of the Five D's—Death, Disease, Divorce, Discernment, and Disillusionment.

Today's episode explores how these critical junctures often arise when we ignore the subtle signals that nudge us towards change. I go on to try to offer an alternate take: the benefits of a proactive approach that challenges the cultural narratives of self-sufficiency that often hinder our growth.

      ]]>     T.L. Mazumdar true No 2320 138 full     On the Mat Forever w/ Ryan Hurst On the Mat Forever w/ Ryan Hurst https://tapasyaloading.podbean.com/e/ryan-2025/ https://tapasyaloading.podbean.com/e/ryan-2025/#comments Tue, 11 Nov 2025 18:15:40 +0100 tapasyaloading.podbean.com/3f3f7669-80ca-3f26-98b3-e315f36e62b9 Ryan Hurst returns to Tapasya Loading on the launch of his much-awaited book On The Mat Forever (OTMF), with a conversation that leaves as powerful  and deep an imprint as our first 3 years ago.

    Ryan holds four black belts, and spent twenty-eight years in Japan immersed deep in the study of martial arts and its philosophy. 

    (He is also a pretty serious guitar player, even if mostly a quiet one.) 

    The fact that most people have no idea about any of this is a clue towards the brand of humility and restraint that mark real mastery like his.

    ‘’Posture, breath, mindset’’. 

    These were the three words that kept me steady when everything else felt like it was falling apart during one of the hardest chapters of my life, hours after I’d just learned of a health scare my mum was going through when OTMF reached me..

    We talk about that and how the book has been a companion through personal storms, and why it feels so needed right now. 

    We explore the tension between the two dominant archetypes of martial artists today, and differences he notices in how masculinity expresses itself across cultures as he moves into a new chapter with core philosophies of ‘mutual benefit and welfare’ taking the forefront in a world where kindness, generosity, and calm are often misread for weakness in times of confrontation. And we unpack the dissonance of reverse culture shock. How it can be a reminder that it is not our environment that defines us-but how we respond to it.

    Timeless truths of the true warrior that risk being buried under noise, and why OTMF is an endeavour to bring them back to where they belong.

    ]]>     T.L. Mazumdar true No 2652 9 137 full     Surrender, Mortality and why Sound Remains w/ Rez Abbasi Surrender, Mortality and why Sound Remains w/ Rez Abbasi https://tapasyaloading.podbean.com/e/rez-draft/ https://tapasyaloading.podbean.com/e/rez-draft/#comments Tue, 04 Nov 2025 18:29:32 +0100 tapasyaloading.podbean.com/43600001-e3cc-3c70-9c76-7d9a6c55b04e Guitarist, composer and educator Rez Abbasi joins T L Mazumdar for a conversation that begins with music but doesn’t end there.

    Born in Karachi and raised in California, NYC-based guitarist Rez Abbasi has long been a bridge between worlds: jazz, South Asian and urban traditions, intellect and instinct, virtuosic precision and play. 

    A teacher at the New School in New York, apart from being a touring and recording artist, he is known for a sound that is as fearless as it is fluid, garnering him a brand of quiet, irrefutable respect amongst peers and audiences alike that is rare in the current music industry. 

    His latest album Sound Remains, dedicated to his late mother, becomes the quiet centrepiece of this exchange. 

    We talk about what happens when music begins to outgrow technique and extrinsic goals, when surrender starts to feel more powerful than control.

     

    We touch on how ‘jazz’, in its modern form, has grown increasingly slick, and how that polish both reveals and conceals something about the times we live in. 

     

    Mentoring comes up as well. Not as a profession, but as a practice in awareness, a way of transmitting freedom rather than formulas.

     

    As the dialogue deepens, it becomes less about the conventional mechanics of music and more about what keeps us playing at all. 

     

    Rez speaks of loss and of finding presence inside it. I share how the the loss of my father last year, and recent health-scare of my mother, peeled away my tolerance for pretense in an industry  and lifestyle in a world where so many of us still feel pressured to play along with very questionable rules.

    What emerges is not grief alone, but a quiet clarity about why we keep returning to sound after the noise fades.

You get the praise.   Then silence.   You send the pitch. No reply.   Then—out of nowhere—a playlist bite.

    Enough to keep you hooked. Not enough to feel whole.

    This episode is about a subtle but powerful loop most artists find themselves in without even realizing it:  

    **Intermittent reinforcement**—a reward system rooted in the nervous system, mirrored in the music industry, and normalized in relationships, rehearsal rooms, and even digital platforms.

     

    In this solo episode, I explore:

    – What intermittent reinforcement actually is (beyond pop psych)   – How it shows up in artist careers through gigs, praise, playlists, and power dynamics   – Why our nervous systems get addicted to “maybe”   – How scenes like *Whiplash* aren’t just cinema—they’re memory   – And what a healthier, rhythm-based alternative could look like

    This one’s personal. For every artist who’s confused their grind for devotion.  

    For every creator who's stayed too long because something *almost* happened once.

Mazumdar for a conversation that goes far beyond the usual talk of craft and career.

    Born in Mumbai and raised in London, Soumik grew up between cultures, mentored by Pandit Buddhadev Das Gupta in Kolkata and later trained in composition at Trinity Laban. 

    Today, he stands as one of the rare contemporary artists bridging heritage and innovation with equal devotion. His work spans collaborations with Beyoncé, Anoushka Shankar, Nitin Sawhney, Akram Khan, and the BBC Singers, as well as large-scale projects through his own organisation, Soumik Datta Arts.

    But what makes his story compelling isn’t the résumé — it’s the restlessness underneath it.

    In this conversation, we revisit the early years and the quiet ways we both learned what it meant to be ‘othered’, long before we had the language for it.

    We talk about the invisible labour behind becoming a professional artist, the parts of the iceberg that rarely see daylight, and why the industry’s current definition of a “professional musician” might not be serving anyone — not the artist, not the audience, not the art.

    This is the official edited release of our exchange. The complete, unedited version — with all the silences, laughter, and contradictions intact — lives exclusively inside the community.

While diversification promises adaptability, it can lead to fragmentation, diluting the very passion that fuels artistic pursuits. Experts warn of the invisible tradeoffs, where spreading too thin risks sacrificing true mastery for mere breadth. Yet, beneath this hustle lies a path to genuine alignment, challenging outdated myths about art and commerce. Dive deeper to uncover practical frameworks that could transform how you navigate your creative journey.

     

    In an era where artists are subtly coerced into the roles of content creators and market disruptors, the core essence of artistry risks being overshadowed by entrepreneurial ambitions. Modern creative culture often blurs the lines between genuine self-expression and commodified authenticity, leading artists toward the tempting yet restrictive path of scale, predictability, and market demand.

    Some revolutions begin in the mind of someone who never set out to be the loudest in the room.

    Graham Cochrane’s story is a reminder that the word “rockstar” doesn’t always mean what we were taught it does. When his bandmates in school abandoned the dream for law firms and investment banking, he chose the harder road, ignoring his counselor's insistence on focusing on that 'real job' in college applications.

    The result? A near-miss record deal in Nashville, the weight of a new marriage and fatherhood under a collapsing economy, jobs that drained him, and nights of counting food stamps just to get by.

    On paper, it looked like the ultimate 'rockstar-failure'.

    In reality, it was the furnace that forged resilience to build what might be one of the most important chapters in the history of online music entrepreneurship.

    A furnace birthing The Recording Revolution—an online education platform that rewrote rules. Showed a generation of recording artists around the globe that they didn’t need permission or a million-dollar studio to make world-class records from their homes. 

    Today Graham is an acclaimed entrepreneur, speaker, coach, and bestselling author of Rebel, a husband and father of two.

    Still controversial to some, he remains an irrefutable pioneer. The kind who turned introversion into focus, doubt into action, and setbacks into a legacy.

    In an era where artists wrestle with collapsing industry frameworks, the rise of AI, and the constant pressure to survive, stories like Graham’s demand attention.

    Because they remind us that the dance between innovation, rebirth, and redefining doesn't have to be reserved for the chosen few. But can be a space we can step into on our own terms.

    We dig deep, fast, and ferocious in one of the most information-dense conversations on Tapasya Loading.

    No script, no mic check, no “audience in mind.” Just a raw Zoom session between me and my weekly business accountability partner Chris Prestia, founder of the Well-Practiced Musician—one artist/educator to another, pulling back the curtain on what it really means to build a creative life that’s sustainable, soul-aligned, and functional.

    From emotional burnout to business bottlenecks, doubts around business partners and platforms to choose with, and the friction between art and commerce—this is an unfiltered window into the backstage of the Holistic Musician Academy and my own journey as an independent musician.

    We talk about the things that don’t usually make it into polished podcasts or curated newsletters. Things like identity, masculinity, and the quiet pressure of always having to “perform.” The creeping role of AI in creative work. And whether building an artistic career part-time is a compromise or a legitimate survival strategy.

    I also speak candidly about the personal:

    My obsession with location independence and how it connects to childhood trauma. The complexity of familial ties. And how Rocco helped me finally face a decision I’ve been circling for over three years.

    If you’ve ever wondered what the real conversations sound like behind the coaching, the music, the launches—this is it.

In this long-awaited conversation, we sit down with returning guests Kiran Ahluwalia & Rez Abbasi, a powerhouse couple who have built extraordinary solo careers while seamlessly collaborating as partners in both life and music.

    From navigating creative differences to maintaining individuality within a shared artistic vision, Kiran and Rez open up about the complexities of working side by side in an industry that often blurs the line between personal and professional. We explore how they challenge traditions, support each other’s artistic evolution, and continue to create a sound that is both deeply personal and globally resonant.

    We also dive into the challenges of navigating social media as artists—how they balance authenticity with the pressures of visibility, and the impact it has on their creative process and well-being.

    Additionally, we discuss the risks artists take in pursuit of their craft. Kiran shares her experience of suffering a major accident while filming a music video, highlighting the dedication and sacrifices that often go unseen in an artist’s journey.

    About Our Guests:

    Kiran Ahluwalia is a two-time Juno Award-winning vocalist known for her contemporary take on the great vocal traditions of India and Pakistan. With roots in Sufi, Qawwali, Ghazal, and Punjabi folk, she masterfully weaves influences from Mali, rock, R&B, and jazz into a sound that defies boundaries. Leading a dynamic 6-piece ensemble, she crafts music that is at once reflective, groovy, and deeply human—what the Seattle Times calls “a transnational sound as fresh as tomorrow.”

    Rez Abbasi is a Guggenheim Fellowship-winning guitarist and composer, widely regarded as one of the most original voices in modern jazz. Voted #1 Rising-Star Guitarist in the DownBeat Critics Poll, he has been ranked alongside greats like Bill Frisell and Pat Metheny. Born in Karachi, Pakistan, raised in Southern California, and deeply influenced by jazz, classical, and Indian music, Rez creates a sonic landscape that is as intellectually profound as it is emotionally stirring.

    Together, Kiran and Rez embody the beauty and challenge of being hyphenated global artists—shaping their own artistic identities while constantly inspiring each other.

    Tune in for a heartfelt, insightful discussion on love, music, and the delicate dance of sustaining both.

But musicians? Not so much. In this special guest solocast, Ryan Hurst of GMB Fitness shares his personal morning routine and the mindset behind it. Originally recorded when he was living in Osaka, this episode was previously only available to my private community. Now, I’m bringing it to the podcast because I believe these insights are just as valuable for musicians and creatives as they are for athletes and trainers.

    Ryan takes a grounded, holistic approach to training—his routine is about more than just movement; it’s about setting the right tone for the day, staying consistent, and cultivating the right mindset. I’ve personally had a morning routine for over 10 years, and I can tell you—it’s a game-changer, especially when you’re constantly on the move. While I’m currently on tour, I’ve noticed how having even a loose framework helps me stay focused and energized despite time zones, deadlines, and performances.

    This episode isn’t just about fitness—it’s about how structure and routine can help you show up better in whatever you do.

    (Rec. 22nd Nov 2023)

    The trajectory of Bastian Voelkel’s career could have easily resembled that of another small-town music aspirant in Germany resting on the wreaths of a secure pensioned job as a teacher at the local music school as his earliest environment might have potentially suggested as the most suitable. The 18-year-old keyboardist however, decided to head synth-in-hand to audition for Europe's most elite university for pop musicians, taking the usual rejections from mainstream German jazz education gracefully in stride. And nailed the audition.

     

    What followed over the years amidst the overwhelming and once-controversial but always innovative Pop-Akademie BW music-business vs music education conundrums and experiments in ‘Ausland-Semesters’ in the Netherlands, was the chance meeting with now long-time band-mate Alice Merton and a tireless and curious work-ethic that led to a Grammy nomination and a few 100 (and counting) shows around the world, earning him the reputation of one of the hardest-working keyboardists in Germany. 

     

    I catch up with fellow Nord-artist and fellow Pop-Akademie BW alumni to discuss the importance of understanding space in live music performance, the trials and tribulations of touring internationally as a keyboardist, and the significance of authenticity and loyalty as a musician in this day and age.
