else_if is a genre-free act from New Delhi, India comprising of G “Force” Arjun & Puneesh Suri. They draw inspiration from sounds around them, live instruments & technology.
Their music essentially comprises of odd time signatures & rhythms, layered natural & unnatural soundscapes over grooves that seem to possess a mind of their own. Most of their musical ideas are conceived using acoustic instruments & objects which later mutate and crossbreed with technology to take an entirely new form.
They use Gibson guitars, Line 6 amps & pedals, Ableton Live & its array of instruments fused with a fair bit of their imagination.
As one quarter of now defunct pioneering electronic live act Jalebee Cartel, G Force was instrumental in the band’s love for technology. He was on production duties in the studio and bass guitar duties on stage.
A music producer & classically trained guitarist, Puneesh spent 3 years in New York perfecting his production & engineering skills at some of the biggest and most famous recording studios.
