[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1563481574822","data":" For those of you like me who are not yet fully acquainted with beatboxing and are wondering what it is, it is a form of vocal percussions mainly mimicking drum machines using one\u2019s mouth, lips, tongue and voice. It can however be developed further to mimic other instruments. It is largely linked with hip-hop culture. <\/p>Now that you have a basic idea of beatboxing, let\u2019s delve into our college and get to know someone who turns casual meets into music based entertainment: Sisir Kakani, who is a Mechanical Engineering student from our college, has been exploring the field of beatboxing for a while now.\nSisir like all of us didn\u2019t know the A\u2019s and B\u2019s of beatboxing until he was about 15. After his SSC examinations, he casually stumbled upon the basics of beatboxing on the internet, it did not excite him much initially since it looked hard to be pulled off, apparently. <\/p> \nA quick jump in the conversation to his junior college days made Sisir tell us about how his seniors from his college had performed it on stage and how it intrigued his interest for the vocal percussions at once. A live performance can make so much of a difference in sparking one\u2019s interest is what Sisir thought, reflecting upon himself. <\/p>He then reached out to his friend to get help with learning the basics of beatboxing and later went ahead mingling with his seniors who agreed to add to his skillset; the asset of beatboxing.\nYoutube videos played a major role in leading Sisir\u2019s practice sessions to fine roads. He started shaping his skill by striving to get every new sound that he comes across in the videos. <\/p>  He has performed at our college events and at times been a hand in providing entertainment to the street cause club of our college. He usually performs with a partner who can add vocals to the music. Would vocals\/music work as much effectively alone as when they go together? - is a question for another day. <\/p>\u201cDespite doing a bit of background work for being able to do beatboxing, I only look at it as my personal hobby for now and haven\u2019t thought of things ahead. It helps me de-stress\u201d says Sisir, who doesn\u2019t see himself pursuing it as his first career choice. <\/p> \nOn being asked why hasn\u2019t beatboxing been the bull\u2019s eye in his head, Sisir went on to list how people\u2019s music preferences differ and take a while to change, with a whole lot of effort involved. <\/p>\u201cIt\u2019s evident that people prefer mainstream music performances and for beatboxing to take up even a bit of that space, it must be a path involving a couple of music collaborations and fusions. I will definitely go ahead with things when beatboxing will have a vast scope and I\u2019ll have the time, effort and manpower to invest in it but right now, I have limited it a hobby since my academics along with my zeal to play basketball take up the front. I really wish beatboxing had a wider reach,\u201d concludes Sisir. <\/p>We wish that as well, Sisir. Let\u2019s hope your hobby gets the attention that\u2019d suffice for it to be considered as a career path. New career options are never a bane. Are they? <\/p>We can get a glimpse of Sisir's performance in the Youtube link given in the article. His performance starts at 2:32:00.<\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1563481574823","data":"3fWziP4Q3A0"}]
