Naveen Dhillon recorded “Power Cut” during an actual blackout in Mohali. Battery-powered synth, windows open, neighbor’s dog joining in.
Record what happens
Limitations are not obstacles. They are the arrangement. The dog barking became harmony. The darkness became a drum.
Don’t wait for perfect conditions
Perfect conditions rarely arrive. Start with what you have, where you are, when the power is out.
Keep the accidents
The moments you did not plan are often the ones that make the song worth keeping.
