I Composed Music in 5 Languages in 4 Months !

in #music6 years ago

Hello all !
Wish you all a very happy Diwali and ope you're doing amazing.

Last 5 months have been quite amazing. I moved to a new place in Mumbai, got back to playing football after recovering from an injury for about a year and half and was fortunate to make music for artists ranging from street smart hip hop and crunchy classic rock to sweet melodic Carnatic Semi-classical, and for a TV show as well. Phew, too much typing. Yes I am very excited with all that's happening.

( This be my little home studio where i work from and my trusty PRS guitar, i call her 'Blackbird')

One of the highlights of all the work that was done in the past few months was that I composed a few songs and produced a few songs for artists and ended up making songs in 5 different languages, 2 of which I do not speak at all.

First up was a composition in my mother tongue Marathi, that song is in the pipeline and will be launched soon.
Produced 4 songs on a Tamil album, a language I am completely unfamiliar with and One composition in Sanskrit (mother of most Indian Languages) which again i barely understand. And the usual bunch of songs in english and Hindi for various artists.

Sharing with you the link to the Sanskrit composition as it is the one that has come out. It is called "Naatya" which means Drama in Sanskrit/Marathi.
Please hear it out and let me know what you guys think ! I'd love to hear your comments.

This Sanskrit composition was made for the promotion of an International Theatre and Performing Arts Festival happening in Pune, organised by IAPAR (International Association of Performing Arts and Research) composed, produced and sung by yours truly.
The Sanskrit lyrics are the verses written by the great Kalidas in one of his plays. Singing this gave my tongue a workout i'll never forget. Never had I sung so many tongue twisting phrases at once.All that workout did pay off as they loved the song and are making it the official anthem instead of just the background music for the promo video. It's these little things that make you happy.

Now I am back to my home town for the Diwali Celebrations with family !
Hope you people have a wonderful festive season as well.
Love and Peace for all ! Thanks for reading !
