Watching him navigate the rocky terrains of a Goa beach, a portable recorder in hand as he captures sounds of the waves crashing against the shore, Ankur Tewari comes across as an artiste who uses his travel escapades to find inspiration in a city's sounds, sights, and food, for the creation of music. "I am a boring artiste," he says, bursting our bubble. "Send me to Goa or a hill-station, and I won't write a word, choosing instead to chill on the beach with a beer," says Tewari, who was bound by the pressure of delivering a promising track from this getaway, owing to his association with MTV's Sound Trippin.

Two sets of the four-episode series, which sees Tewari explore four cities in an attempt to create songs that represent the culture of each, have already aired. An endeavour of this kind demands a coordinated dance of sorts, between his team and him. "I had seen previous seasons, and concluded that I wanted to showcase my personality via my music, for this edition. It was important to have a team that could enable me to successfully do that. If I made a scratch, they would digitally enhance it and send it back [in no time]. I also wanted to use stories to express my sounds."
