Spiralynk is the brainchild of Ankit Malik, an interdisciplinary artist, creative technologist, and researcher working at the intersection of sound, code, and machine intelligence. Through his alias, he creates exploratory works across algorithmic composition, neural audio synthesis, immersive sound design, and generative audio-reactive visuals. His current practice explores real-time sonic systems powered by neural networks, developing new approaches to human-computer interaction and procedural audio.

He has performed live across the UK, Europe, and India at festivals and venues including Magnetic Fields Festival, Reset Networks, Algorave India, and the Goethe-Institut. He has also composed for theatre and multimedia works presented in Cambridge, Prague, and Kolkata.

In 2025, Ankit returned to Berklee Valencia to lead a workshop and residency to explore the future of AI-powered music with students from the MPTI program. His sessions explored generative AI in music, real-time neural audio instruments, and the performability of machine learning systems, bridging his research with public-facing pedagogy and creative practice.

Since 2023, Ankit has also facilitated annual MaxMSP workshops at SynthFarm, India’s leading residency for synthesis, modular sound design, and electronic music learning. These workshops serve diverse multicultural cohorts and range from foundational MSP and Jitter concepts to advanced machine learning techniques within the Max environment.

Ankit has previously consulted as a technical sound designer and audio engineer in the automotive industry, contributing to the development of Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Systems (AVAS) and Sonic Interaction Design (SID) frameworks. His work in this space focused on integrating creative audio solutions with emerging safety standards and future-facing vehicle soundscapes.

He co-founded Bonafide Seven (2021 to 2023), a collective and media production house that amplified artist voices. During its run, Bonafide Seven–supported artists were featured by Rolling Stone India, Wild City, and Rock Street Journal, and the collective led initiatives such as an exclusive interview and fundraiser with Michael League (Snarky Puppy) for COVID-19 relief efforts.

Ankit holds a Master of Music from Berklee College of Music (Valencia), where he graduated magna cum laude, as well as Bachelor's degrees in Creative Music Technology from Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, and Mass Communication and Videography from St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata. His work persistently blurs boundaries between artistic expression, technological experimentation, and sonic research, all rooted in a deep fascination with organised chaos as a creative and conceptual framework.
