Sound artist and nomad village founder Diveakssh "Divi" Schae joins hosts Christoph and Palle to unveil the brand‑new Nomad Summit theme music, crafted entirely from the everyday sounds of Chiang Mai - crosswalk beeps, street greetings, and a shy "Welcome to Chiang Mai" from a local girl. He shares his philosophy of "sound hunting," why he loves both music and "noise," and how years of traveling with a microphone and producing his debut album taught him to turn the world itself into an instrument.
The conversation then shifts to Jungli, his family's former ferro‑alloy factory in the Indian jungle that he is transforming into a year‑round nomad village and future audio‑visual gallery for new media art installations. You'll hear how he's blending nature, operations know‑how, community building, spirituality (through his dad's numerology and past‑life work), and his mother's chocolate into a unique hub between Goa and Hampi - plus a powerful reframe of nomadism as a mindset rather than a passport stamp count.
Everyday sound can be musical. Divi shows how city noise, nature, and random street sounds become emotional, story‑driven music when you listen with intention and "hunt" for texture.
Jungli: factory‑turned‑nomad village. He explains how his great‑grandfather's old ferro‑alloy factory is being reborn as a family‑run nomad village and future audio‑visual gallery in the Indian jungle.
A new home for new media art. Jungly aims to give new media artists a permanent space for immersive installations that are usually built for one‑week shows and then stored away.
Nomadism as a mindset. Divi reframes being a nomad from "always moving" to staying light, not over‑attaching to stuff (like the infamous couch), and being able to thrive anywhere.
Building in public with community. The first Jungly guests came from his Instagram and newsletter, co‑creating the village via a WhatsApp group that grew from 70 to around 450 members.
Family strengths as part of the brand. From his father's numerology and spiritual work to his mother's chocolate factory, Divi weaves his family's talents into the Jungly guest experience.
