Aaqil Abdullah, working under the name Cassidini, is a composer, a musician, and above all an artist working through the medium of sound. He equally enjoys finding the limits of what sounds instruments can naturally produce and splicing together field recordings to make something entirely new. He is always looking forward to the next collaborative opportunity to bring any film, game, or other form of media to life.
When not composing you can find Aaqil snapping pictures with his DSLR, experimenting with new recipes at the stove, or diving into his studies to learn a new skill.
