Anupam Shobhakar is an Indian musician, composer, instrumentalist, record producer, and classically trained sarodist currently living in Brooklyn, New York.

[1] He was given a guitar, which he strung left-handed, and began practising, eventually forming a band named Dead Sea Scrolls, which played cover versions of songs by Megadeth, Joe Satriani, and Steve Vai.

"[1] Shobhakar experimented by crafting a fretless guitar but found that nothing could match the "microtonal subtleties of Indian Music" like the traditional sarod.

He handled every aspect of production on the record, including tracking the guitars with a "goose neck internet chat mic.
