Ramsey Elkholy is a guitarist, producer, songwriter, and anthropologist who founded the indietronica collective Monotronic in 2016. He conceived the project as a communal platform where instruments interweave into a single expressive force. Rather than spotlighting individual virtuosity, he emphasizes shared intention and group chemistry, encouraging collaborators to shape each track with their own textures, instincts, and creative voice.

Elkholy’s parallel career in anthropology informs that philosophy. He earned a PhD and authored Being and Becoming: Embodiment and Experience Among the Orang Rimba of Sumatra, a study of rainforest foragers in Indonesia. His research explored how identity, environment, and daily practice intertwine. That perspective carries into his music, where rhythm and atmosphere reflect lived experience and collective awareness.

Travel has also played a defining role in his artistic development. After spending three years backpacking across Asia and beyond, studying Indian music in Calcutta, and completing two years of fieldwork in Sumatra, Ramsey Elkholy Monotronic developed a deep sensitivity to polyrhythm and texture. He has described the rainforest at night as a vast, layered symphony. Raised in New York and now based in Los Angeles, he works from a home garage studio.

Monotronic’s 2026 album Waiting for You represents a significant chapter in the collective’s growth. The record features acclaimed bassist Mohini Dey on Close Enough and legendary drummer Omar Hakim throughout the project. Several accompanying videos, including Looking Away and Everything Moves, premiered at number one on VEVO, expanding the band’s reach and visual identity.

The album blends indie rock, pop, and electronic elements into a cohesive, cinematic sound marked by reflective lyrics and polished production. Everything Moves unfolds in a high-energy escape room setting, while Kettle Song pairs dynamic choreography with striking imagery. Many of the songs were written during time spent in Tulum, where coastal landscapes shaped the album’s contemplative mood.

Since releasing their self-titled debut in 2019, Monotronic has earned praise from outlets such as Rolling Stone and Relix. A rotating roster of accomplished musicians has contributed to the project, many of whom have ties to major artists across genres. Singles including Kids of Summer and In Between have drawn a strong critical response, reinforcing Elkholy’s reputation for genre-fluid songwriting and immersive sound design.

Saroj Patil is an AI Researcher at SISA Information Security in Bengaluru, working on the Prism AI Security Suite — systems that discover, red-team, monitor, and govern AI across enterprise codebases. The work sits at the messy intersection of applied AI and security: shadow-AI and MCP discovery, AI supply-chain risk, agent analysis, and AIBOM generation.
Before SISA, Saroj interned at ISRO's Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre on spacecraft anomaly detection using autoencoders and diffusion models, and holds a B.E. in AI & Data Science (CGPA 9.26, 6th rank) from Global Academy of Technology. Two IEEE-published papers span the range of that curiosity — from dementia prognostication with computational models to asteroid-hazard assessment using explainable ML (ExtraTrees + SHAP).
Outside the day job, Saroj builds ML pipelines for astronomy — currently a gravitational-lens detector trained on simulated survey data — and creates AI-education content for India's developer community. An active Toastmasters member, Saroj enjoys turning dense technical ideas into talks people actually want to sit through.
