Magnetic Fields
You founded Wild City and then co-founded Magnetic Fields to your musicality. When did you decide it was time to do something bigger and connect at ground level?
Starting a music festival was something I think we both felt compelled to do—it was a natural progression from the events we were hosting with Wild City. When we moved to India it was actually under the proviso that we wouldn’t start a music festival! But we got swept away by the community here and really wanted to create an event that showcased the vibrant and rich creative spirit we encountered in modern India.
Why the name Magnetic Fields?
