Hi, I’m Mainak and I’m a hobbyist visual artist drawn to surreal imagery. Real life often feels too plain, so I rely on heavy editing to reshape it into something more reflective of my inner perception. I create purely for personal expression, not for monetization.

Mainak: I’m always on the internet trying to discover different kinds of art. Whatever I create is mostly just my version of some random image I once saw on Instagram or Pinterest or somewhere else. I can’t name any particular source of visual inspiration because I really don’t have any and that’s very intentional. I don’t want to base my work on any particular fellow artist. I want my sources to be as varied and as random as possible.

ZipZapZop: Last summer (2025) I attended a silent 10 day meditation course again, for the first time since 2007. Once again this time, I experienced a physical phenomenon each time I slept (and sometimes while meditating), that felt like a cross between TV static electricity moving throughout the whole body and a plasma ball. The teacher of the course referred to this state in discourses as “bhanga” which is roughly translated as “dissolution.” It mostly happens when I attend these courses, and occasionally at other random times in the night at home – but much less frequently than when at a course meditating ten hours a day. It is also accompanied by several high pitched frequencies, like tinnitus, in the ears, but the frequencies change when that state comes and goes. Just observe, no craving, no aversion. After researching and finding some videos about the bhanga state on the internet from Shinzen Young and Beth Upton, I decided to create a track that captured the experience and shared forward this information so that any others who experience it might have more information. The track also features samples of Eric Fraser on bansuri flute. I met Eric at a similar meditation course in 2005 and recorded him playing bansuri in Ableton in my Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, NY apartment on St. James Place, a block from where Notorious B.I.G. grew up!

Soukah: I made this tune during Autumn/Winter 2025 where the days are short and the nights are long. The whole nature falls asleep and colors turn into blue and grey.
Sitting in this kind of blue, silent atmosphere remember the summer and drifting away in memories I found the guitar sample which fitted perfectly to the vibe.
The track describes a yearn for warmer days and loosing the mind in memories of the last summer (You).
