It’s getting harder to tell what’s real anymore.
AI “slop” content is everywhere. Fast, cheap, and soulless.
So I labeled my new holiday album clearly:
“Real field recordings. Captured on location.”
I made a lofi holiday album with chill remixes of my favorite seasonal tunes.
But I didn’t just produce it in a studio.
I recorded real sounds while traveling through Lichtenstein, France, Oman, New York, and beyond.
Church bells. Street conversations.
Wind. Water. People.
No stock samples. No shortcuts.
(And no collaborators.)
Just real moments turned into music.
Sure, I could have used a free sound of rain.
But I wanted the real thing.
The same way you’d rather eat real food than a substitute.
Because it feels different. And it means more.
Here’s to keeping it human.
I hope you enjoy the music.

🎵 Music
bells and beats: retro reflections for the holidays (lofi volume 1) by kabir sehgal (intentionally lowercase!). Cozy, nostalgic album that pairs lo-fi textures with vintage holiday themes. Each track blends mellow beats with subtle holiday motifs, crafted to feel like vinyl spinning in a candlelit room. Authentic ambient sounds from Grand Central, the Palace of Versailles to the beaches of Oman. This is how I made the project.
💭 AI Prompt
Create a cinematic, hyper-detailed illustration of Santa and Krampus at couples therapy with a snowman therapist. Mid-century office, peppermint cold brew on the table, Santa’s laptop covered in stickers, detailed textiles, “late-December mall” color palette, 3:2 aspect ratio, no text, expressive faces, whimsical but elegant.
