The Musical Residency Retreat
5 Days. 5 Artists. 1 Original Song | 2 - 6 February 2026
What if you didn’t just attend a music event…
but witnessed a song being created from nothing?
Program Overview
What to Expect
Why You’d Come Here
If you’ve ever wondered what happens before a song becomes a song, this is where you’d want to be.
You arrive at Aavya not just as a guest, but as someone who loves music, creativity, and the quiet magic behind art. For five days, you live in the same space where a singer-songwriter, acoustic guitarist, electric guitarist, percussionist, and music producer are trying to create one original track from nothing.
You don’t just hear music here. You live around it.
What Makes This Experience Different
Normally, music is made somewhere far away in studios, behind doors, polished before you ever hear it.
Here, you see the part most people never do.
You sit nearby while ideas are still half-formed.
You hear melodies before they have lyrics.
You watch moments of doubt, bursts of laughter, and sudden breakthroughs.
You witness:
- The first sparks of an idea
- The mistakes that lead somewhere better
- The experiments that don’t always work
- The long silences where something is about to happen
- The moment when everything suddenly clicks
You’re not watching a performance.
You’re inside the creative process itself.
What You Walk Away With
By the end of your stay, you’ve seen a song grow from uncertainty to existence.
You’ll know:
✔ How different artists think and collaborate
✔ How nature, space, and mood shape music
✔ What goes into writing, arranging, and recording a track
An original song will be completed.
A 5-episode series will document the journey.
And for you, the song will always carry the memory of being there when it was born.
It becomes a time capsule of Aavya, Tapovan, and the days you shared with the artists.
Evenings at Aavya
As the sun sets, the creative energy doesn’t stop — it changes form.
Each evening from 6–8 PM, Aavya becomes a space for different art forms — poetry, kirtan, rap, and original songwriting.
These aren’t commercial stage shows.
These are real voices, emerging artists, and raw expression.
You sit close. You listen. You feel the room.
You become part of a small audience that values creativity for what it is — alive, imperfect, and honest
