From sunrise sessions on the beach to quiet rooftop rehearsals, this is a look at what goes into finding that state of flow. ## Photos and videos - [Video: A freestyle poi session with the clouds as my backdrop.

Whether I'm on a rooftop in Bengaluru or a quiet beach, I'm constantly working on contact patterns and footwork. It’s the only way to make fire spinning or complex LED shows look seamless when the music drops. I view my flow practice a lot like coding, it's all about repetition, iterating on the logic, and eventually, hitting that flow state. When I'm not behind a laptop, I'm likely somewhere with enough space to spin poi or contact staff. It keeps me sane. You’ll see me practicing everywhere, from my local spot in Bengaluru to the sands of Goa. The environment really changes the headspace. The rhythm of the waves or the quiet of the hills helps me tune out the noise and lock into the loopstation beat. Whether it's LED pixel poi or traditional fire spinning, every move you see in my performances is the result of these long, often solitary, practice sessions. I'm not just spinning, I'm building a connection between the music I loop live and the visual patterns I create. It’s an ongoing process of trying new combos, failing, and finally getting it right. If you want to know how I translate these practice sessions into a live set for your event, or if you're just curious about the mechanics of the gear I use, I'm happy to chat. ## About Aniketh Ak I'm Aniketh. By day, I'm deep into code, but my real sanity comes from building tracks on my loopstation and spinning fire. I’m a beatboxer and flow artist, and honestly, I just love getting lost in the music and sharing that vibe.
