The Music Cocoon is officially closed as a venue. Thank you to those who supported this idea of mine. Thank you to the artists who were part of this journey. Whether The Music Cocoon will continue as a concept is yet to be decided.

Due to the lockdown, musicians have lost their income, been forgotten by our authorities, and left out of all the fundraising initiatives by NGOs.
Musicians have been asked to perform to raise funds, but they haven't been given funds.

Jamrooms and studios are expensive. Maintaining your instruments are expensive. You have bills to pay and it is difficult.

I am fortunate to be secure and I'd like to give back to you all.

The Music Cocoon offers you a space to convert your hurt and worries into music, the way you always do. Feel free to contact me to use The Music Cocoon to collaborate, jam, or simply interact with each other. 3 day stay at a time only.
It will be free of charge till the end of June (maybe a little longer TBD).

Food delivery, supermarkets, mattresses, kitchen appliances, TV with DVDs, etc are available.

If you need to talk about your worries as a part of the live music scene, that's fine too. We can meet at The Music Cocoon to talk through your worries.

You are not alone and you can reach out any time you need.

Cheers,
Shivangi.

With the crackdown  on live music venues,  artists are changing  tack. One is leaving  town, others are  playing more at  private parties and  many have gone back  to recording and  touring outside

It rained so much that I thought it would be a wash out, but I watched as three of these musicians jammed, and two of them discussed collaborating with each other and meeting up in a day or two.

This is exactly what I hoped would happen. Thank you for being there!
