Kartick is Patrick Sebag, born in Tel Aviv to Moroccan parents, a music producer, and keyboard player. Gotam is is Yoyam Agam, a “sound designer” also originally from Israel but now living in Chennai, India where he co-founded EarthSync, a production house that aims to nurture folk, native and tribal music. Travelling together through Singapore, they were both upgraded to business class on an overbooked airplane (the good news), but sentenced to a three day wait in the business class lounge until visas and passports were straightened out (the bad news). They passed the time on their laptops and wireless, assembling soundscapes, creating the genesis of Business Class Refugees.
