A true virtuoso on piano and synth, Vikram Shankar talked to us about how difficult it is to write shorter songs, how you definitely can’t unburn a piano and making Raphael Weinroth-Browne’s Cello-playing a little less pretty. Silent Skies’ sophomore album “Nectar” is out right now via Napalm Records and Threads of Fate’s debut full length “The Cold Embrace of the Light” is coming through Layered Reality Productions on March 11.Chapters:01:08 A wild day in Silent Skies land02:00 2021 Vikram Shankar releases05:00 Silent Skies - Nectar: a quick follow-up to Satellites10:10 The origins of a Silent Skies song16:28 flying to Sweden, shooting the video for Leaving and burning a piano22:40 Raphael Weinroth-Browne’s Cello contributions to Nectar26:35 Choosing synth sounds30:00 Threads of Fate’s The Cold Embrace of Light33:22 More from Vikram in 2022?!
